    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->
->Meshes Folder
->-> "WARDRKF" Folder
->->->All Pertinent Mesh Files
->->-> "WARSDHE" folder
->->->->All Pertinent Mesh Files

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

->Westly_Presents_The_Sidhe_and_Darklings.esp

->Westly_Presents_The_Sidhe_and_Darklings  README.txt

In addition to the regular "Data Files" folder, I 
have also included an EXTRAS folder.Inside the EXTRAS folder one 
will find alternate meshes for the Sidhe and Darkling (Nude male and 
female meshes).  This installs much like the initial manual installation 
(just drag and drop the Alternate "Data Files" into your game's Morrowind 
Folder; it will overwrite the previous Sidhe or Darkling underwear mesh
with the nude meshes provided).  Also in this folder are to options for
the Skin of the Sidhe (blue or green should one desire a different 
colour).  These intall the same way (just choose the skin that you like and
drop its "Data Files" folder inside into your game's Morrowind 
Folder; it will overwrite the previous Sidhe skin to the new choice).
*****************************************************************

    PLAYING THE PLUGIN

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

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

This plugin adds:

2 new better body playable races, the Sidhe and the Darklings

5 female and 5 male Sidhe Heads
4 female and 4 male Darkling Heads
Male and Female Vampire heads for both races

A large variety of hairs for each race and their respective sexes

Race Descriptions:

"The Sidhe (SHEE)"-
Denizens of Meridia's Plane, the Sidhe , on occasion, venture 
from their sphere of light and energy to the world of Tamriel, 
donning a corporeal form in order to exist in the mortal realms.  
They are often mistakenly called Fairy or Fae (given their storybook 
appearance), and perpetuate the legend that they are such creatures 
as they are elusive at the best of times.  They draw their power 
from Magnus directly, thus glowing with its light even in the 
darkest of the fell reaches of the world.

Stats (Male and Female)
STR-30
INT-45
WIL-45
AGI-40
SPD-40
END-30
PER-40
LUC-40

Skill Bonus-
Acrobatics-7
Athletics-7
Enchant-7
Marksman-7
Short Blade-7
Restoration-10


Abilities/Powers/Spells-

Glide(Spell)- Allows the spellcaster to jump to a great height and
then soar briefly (fortifys Jump, Athletics, Agility, with a Slowfall bonus)

Flight(Spell) Allows the spellcaster to levitate with a slowfall bonus (should
one climb too high)

Radiance (Spell)- Turns the spellcaster into a source of light

Meridia's Warding (Power)- Allows the spellcaster to call on the power of 
Magnus to turn away the undead while causing the target to act as a light
as it attempts to flee from said light.

Fae Magika (Ability) - Fortifies Maximum Magika 12%

"The Darkling"-
The Darkling, once likened to the Imps that occupy the 
many lands of Tamriel, were transformed by the Daedra 
of Darkness, Nocturnal, acting as her eyes and ears in 
the places where her darkness can not reach.  Cloaking 
themselves in shadow, the Darkling weave in and out of 
mortal existence in an effort to increase the void, thus 
allowing Nocturnal's grasp tp reach beyond her shroud of 
night.  They bear her mark upon their body as a twisting 
entanglement of shadow and thorn; a remnant of the change 
from beast to dark servant to the Mistress of Night.

then soar briefly (fortifys Jump, Athletics, Agility, with a Slowfall bonus)

Flight(Spell) Allows the spellcaster to levitate with a slowfall bonus (should
one climb too high)

Shroud of Nocturnal (Power)- Gives the spellcaster brief resistances to the elements
and weapons at the cost of their health

Hysterical Blindness (Power)- once cast causes the target to go blind and mad 
(whilst preventing the target from casting spells).  Drains the spellcasters
fatigue in the process, however.



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 armour is a BB (Better Body) armour.  As such it will clip 
with other body styles (original bodies, smoother bodies, and so on).

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

-The hairs/Wings make use of alpha channels
to define their shape (by use of tranparency).  In some instances, when 
another mesh that makes use of transparencies (say a waterfall mesh)
overlaps the meshes that use alphas in this mod, there might be a chance 
that the hair/Wings will temporarily dissappear ( this also applies
when casting spells such as Chameleon or Invisibility).  This is a known 
issue, and is not specific to this mod (but in all mods that make use of
alpha channeled meshes [also, in any alpha channeled "stock" mesh too]).

-Some of the longer hairstyles will clip with the body during certain 
animations. Without skinning/physiquing/weight-painting
this is unaviodable, but worth the minor clip here and there for 
the character of your choice :D .

-The wings use the neck bodypart of the races; so using any armour
or clothing that also uses the neck slot will cause the wings to 
temporarily disappear (removing the armour/clothing will allow the 
wings to reappear, so no worries).

-The male Darkling Nude mesh is a "placeholder" ATM ('til 
I can cobble an asymetrical groin body part as the one used 
currently is not asymetric).

Thank you NifTools for NifSkope
Thank you to the community for the continuing support.
Thank you to AlienSlof for initally pointing me down the

Permissions = Feel free to use this mod as it exists in this archive (just do not re-upload or 
redistribute this as it is in this archive).  If you would like to use this in 
a mod then please make sure that the appropriate credits are acknowledged and that 
I am notified so as to assist you if necessary:D.

If any changes are made to textures or meshes, then rename them so as to 
not conflict with the original textures/meshes. It is my desire that this not 
become included in a compilation or large mod pack or used in its entirety
in another mod.  If one wants to use the items in this mod (in their entirety)
then the easier thing to do is to make your mod depend on my original mod files
(meshes and textures), as such would then be supported by updates by myself (Westly).
