    INSTALLING THE PLUGIN

*****************************************************************
Manual Installation:

This mod is packaged/archived with 7zip. Should one desire to use
this mod, an archive programme such as 7zip, Winrar, Winace, or 
Zip Genious should be used to extract/open the information/files herein.
(Although, if you are reading this, then you already know how to do 
extract from archived files, so good for you  ).

Once extracted/opened, just drag and drop the Data Files Folder onto 
the Morrowind folder in your C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks directory and 
they will go where they are meant to go (except the readme and Extras
Folder). All the files are placed inside folders as marked (become familiar
with manual installations, your game will thank you for it). You will then 
be prompted to overwrite. Click yes/ok and the files should now be
properly installed.

Files included in the Data Files folder of this mod:

Data Files Folder->

->Westly_Presents_The_Saxhleel.esp

->Westly_Presents_The_Saxhleel_ README.txt

->Meshes Folder
->-> WARARKN Folder
->->->All Pertinent Mesh Files

->Textures Folder
->->All Pertinent Texture Files

In addition to the regular "Data Files" folder, I 
have also included an EXTRAS folder.Inside the EXTRAS folder one 
will find alternate textures for the Saxhleel (Four additional 
options for their skin colouration and three options for their 
horn textures)  These install much like the initial manual installation 
(just drag and drop the alternate "Data Files" for the textures of your 
choosing into your game's Morrowind Folder; it will overwrite the 
default textures with your new choice)
*****************************************************************

    PLAYING THE PLUGIN

*****************************************************************

From the Morrowind Launcher, select Data Files and check the box next to 
Westly_Presents_The_Saxhleel.esp (this is a playable race which requires Morrowind 
only for play, no expansions needed)

This plugin adds an "upright," tailess BB Argonian race somewhat inspired by the 
race as it was featured in Arena but with a personal touch and style
added in to the mix (called the Saxhleel [another name for Argonian to save
confusion from the originals]).

Included:
1 male Head
1 female Head
Male and Female Vampire heads
A modest selection of horn/hair styles 

Race Description:
The Saxhleel, or Argonian in the common 
tongue,  are a highly evolved race of reptilians, at home 
in any marsh-like environment from which they originally hail. 
They are known for their intelligence, agility, and speed. 
Because of their reptilian nature, Saxhleel do not tire easily 
while swimming, and seldom drown. They can also swim faster 
than any other race. They are adept in any art involving the 
arcane, or involving thieving and sleight of hand. 

Stats (Male and Female):
STR-40
INT-40
WIL-30
AGI-50
SPD-50
END-30
PER-30
LUC-40

Skill Bonus:
Acrobatics-5
Athletics-15
Alchemy-5
Illusion-5
Mysticism-5
Light Armor-5
Short Blade-5


Abilities:
Natural Natator-Swift Swim 10pts
Immune to Poison
Resist Disease 75%


Enjoy!

     Save Games

*****************************************************************

This plugin will not invalidate your old saved games. If you save 
your game while this plugin is loaded, you may encounter error messages 
when you reload the saved game without the plugin. But you will be
able to continue on with the original game.


*****************************************************************

      Changing the Face/Race of an Existing Character

*****************************************************************

To change the face/race of your existing character without starting a new game, 
open the console and type "enableracemenu". Choose your new face and hair. 
Changing your race will cause temporary problems that should resolve 
themselves when you reload. Always save your game first in case of 
unpredictable errors and save afterwards in a new file.

*****************************************************************

      Issues/Bugs/Mild Irritances

*****************************************************************

-The Saxhleel race is a BB v2.2 race, so clothing types from some 
other mods or Smoother Bodies will clip with this body type (just 
so you know).

-I did not give this race a water breathing ability; partly because
they did not have one in Arena and partly so that they remain
compatible with a "certain quest."

      Credits & Usage

*****************************************************************

Original face models by Rhedd, then altered by Robert, 
in some instances, altered further by Westly.
The Head meshes were then reworked by Dirnae in the 
flattening of the noses.

Original Hair/Horn meshes by Silaria (altered by Westly 
in most instances)

BB v2.2 meshes by Psychodog Studios (though the female 
UV map is slightly altered to accomodate the scale pattern 
by Westly' a more humanoid skin texture would not look 
quite right if applied to this altered female mesh).

Female "Dreds" by Geonox

All Textures by Westly
