ColdSun's Visions - Coralyn The Bosmer Shaman

Overview

Meet Coralyn, a sweet Bosmer shaman and one of the finest healing followers available for Skyrim, who hides a secret: she is a shapechanger.

Coralyn is a powerful support follower with a full healing kit, a wolf pack at her call, and a custom follower system unlike anything else out there. She is voiced by the fantastic Pixie Willow. I hope you enjoy your adventures with her. You can find her wandering near the crossroads and bridges by Honningbrew Meadery in Whiterun Hold.Backstory

Coralyn is a wood elf who grew up in Valenwood and traveled to Skyrim to escape her own people. She is around 75 years old, which for a Bosmer is something like the early-to-mid twenties in human years. She has brown hair and striking green-brown eyes, an athletic and agile build, and she took up the magic of the forest at a young age.

In the earliest days, before the terms of the Green Pact, the Bosmer were said to shift freely between shapes until Y'ffre, the forest god, taught them to hold a single form. Ever since, changing into an animal has been taboo among the wood elves. Long ago, Coralyn's parents gave offense to Sheogorath, and the Mad God cursed their daughter with the ability to turn into a wolf, purely as a joke, the way he so often does. Because that power breaks the Green Pact, her parents fled Valenwood to keep her secret safe and shield her from the judgment of her own kind.Features

Character Details

Coralyn is extremely powerful at low levels and balances out nicely from mid to high levels. If she feels too strong in the early game, just open the MCM and turn off some of her abilities.

• Location - wandering near the crossroads and bridges by Honningbrew Meadery in Whiterun Hold
• Skills - Alteration, Light Armor, Restoration, Conjuration, Sneak, and Illusion
• Essential - a resilient support follower built to keep you alive

Home and Follow Settings

Follow distance. Set her to follow at a normal range or close behind you, from the MCM.

FaceLight. Coralyn has her own facelight. Enable it in the MCM, and do not use another mod's facelight on her, or the brightness will double.

Home settings. Tell Coralyn where to live, and then, if you like, add a daily routine: where to sleep, where to eat breakfast and dinner, and where to spend her mornings and afternoons. Those extra details are entirely optional. If all you do is give her a home, that is simply where she will stay.

The home options are set from where you are standing, so stand by the bed you want her to sleep in, by the table where you want her to eat, and so on. None of these spots have to share a building. She could live in Breezehome, browse the market in the morning, visit Dragonsreach in the afternoon, take breakfast at the Drunken Huntsman, and dinner at the Bannered Mare. It is up to you.Adult Content (Optional)

Coralyn's custom voice is carried into a full set for Naughty Voices and OPrivacy by migal130, for players who use adult mods. These features are entirely optional. Please make sure you have the requirements for those mods before using them, and grab the OPrivacy patch for Coralyn from the optional files if you want it. Technical help for the adult features is available through our Support channels.Marriage

Without OPrivacy:

1. Enable Coralyn's shapeshifting in the MCM.
2. Get a horse and ask Coralyn to follow.
3. Mount the horse while she is following. This opens dialogue to ask her about being a wolf.
4. Complete that dialogue sequence.
5. About 48 hours later, the marriage dialogue appears.

With OPrivacy:

1. Follow the same steps to unlock her wolf dialogue, but there is no 48 hour timer.
2. Take Coralyn to fight in dungeons and keep looting bodies and chests until she asks for your help.
3. Help her with her problem, and the marriage dialogues open up.

Fidelity. Coralyn will only agree to privacy once your relationship is high enough and you have learned her wolf secret. When she marries you, the ceremony lets her sense how you feel wherever you are, so she knows if you are unfaithful. If you cheat, she will refuse to follow or warm a bed for you until you apologize and reconcile. Group scenes that include Coralyn do not count as cheating. In OPrivacy she can approach you (both regular and follower approach), and she must approach you in a dungeon before you can ask for privacy or marry her. She can also catfight, though she cannot be rejected by another catfighting follower when she initiates.Suggested Load Order (OPrivacy and OStim)
