[Dragoness] Heavy Ishgardian Armor - NPC Gear Overhaul

Version: 1.0

Contributor Information:

From Software for the Oathseeker Helmet
Pearl Abyss for the Black Knight Armor

Author's Comments:

"After the end of the Dragonsong War, it was decided the armor of Ishgard's knights should be improved. Many of our forces have been wearing the same armor we wore before the fall of Dalamud and the freezing of Coerthas. In response to this we have commissioned our finest smiths to create new armor that better reflects Ishgard and her warriors. Enclosed with this letter you will find leaner, improved armor and improved weapons for The Congregation of Our Knights Most Heavenly."

Replaces the Ishgardian Knight set and its variants, along with updating the shaders of the Grand Company Private Swords and the Halonic Inquisitor's Shield, as those are the ones used by the Knights of Ishgard like Lucia. As this affects other variants of the armor it will also affect the armors of the Heavens Ward, but due to some weird oddities while creating the mod I wasn't able to color their armor properly.

This mod is a retrofitted version of a commission, where I've reverted the specific unique changes the client requested so their look would look more unique, along will adding pants and boots and DT shaders to the weapons.

The helmet is replaced with a mashup of the Black Knight armor from Black Desert Online and the Oathseeker Helmet from Elden Ring: Shadows of the Erdtree.
The chest is a mashup of the Heavensbound Mail, Quetzalli Mail of Fending, and the Black Knight armor from Black Desert Online. Due to how the fabric is on the chest is created with a diffuse texture it cannot be dyed.
The gauntlets is a mashup of the Heavensbound Gauntlets, Scion Rogue Gloves, and the Panthean Gauntlets of Fending.
The pants are just the Heavensbound Leggings.
The boots are a mashup of the Heavensbound Boots and the Panthean Boots of Fending

This is intended as an NPC replacer, so please put this into your NPC Penumbra collection
