This is phenomenal, thank you so much for sharing @AleriSadasIndoril!

Tyreal1974

Bravo! That is some incredible work, and the details on the armor is amazing. Thank you for sharing this with everyone!

Fea675

Awesome work! Stunningly detailed and the horse's anatomy is totally correct. Love it!!!
AND ESO-designers, pls look - here is a horse model with correct hindlegs - pls take it as an example and re-work the rear of the ingame horses (which have hindlegs like dogs)!

If I have one critique it would be that ordinators would probably ride guars, not horses, but as for the look, it is fantastic. :-)

Norazul

***-LY SH....eogorath !!

I am left speechless - and, as many people in Tamriel will testify, THAT happens rarely.

Thank you so much @ZOS_Adrikoth

and Tyreal1974, Fea675, alberichtano and Norazul
thank you all

I just assumed that she would choose the mount herself as an Senior Officer, I would personally prefer horses, wolves or senche as military mounts, I imagine guars to be a little uncomfortable.

Incredible work. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Thank you so much @EddyKaschinski

Wow. Just wow! That's better than my few bits of poly-pushing back in the day! (I was making them for Oblivion though, so polycount mattered!)

Extra plus from me for getting the horse anatomy absolutely correct. As a painter of horses in real life (I used to paint them on pub signs for a living), any weirdness in the anatomy I would spot right away! This is perfection.

Now, if only I had a 3d printer...

Fenris_Arainai

All the details! Wow!

And the fierce-less mudcrab!

AleriSadasIndoril

Thank you so much @AlienSlof, I'm really happy about your opinion.
Your great mods were the reason, as a great role model why I started to be interested in modding and skulpting.

Thank you @Fenris_Arainai mudcrabs are epic and and the fear of the horse's leg.

TheImperfect

Beautifully done!

Aliyavana

Love it, though i woulda preferred her to be on a guar since they are native to Morrowind. Horses are food to Dunmer.

AleriSadasIndoril

Thank you @TheImperfect and @Aliyavana

But there is an Ordinator Edict "The Mandate Twenty-One" by Inquisitor Nivos Uveran, it forbids the consumption of horse meat because the eating of horses is blasphemy.

A GUIDE TO DUNMERI CUISINE. FOOD, DRINKS & COOKING MYTHS by @Aigym_Hlervu

....Moreover, according to the Ordinator Edict Mandate Twenty-One, creatures' meat cataloged in the Sacred Register of Unclean Beasts is not permitted within Vivec City limits. This list includes many milk-producing beasts, owls, tailless apes, dreugh larvae, and egg-laden crustaceans. Horses are milk-producing animals and thus seem to be considered unclean. So if a merchant does not want to be sentenced to the forfeiture of any Writs of Divine Sanction, fines, and possible corporal reeducation he will not sell it in Vivec City and will submit all the meat he sells for an inspection by a Temple-appointed Dreni'urolan. That Sacred Register of Unclean Beasts might also be the real reason horses are naturally absent in Vvardenfell. That outlanders' fear for us eating their steeds in the streets is nonsense. We are not horse eaters!
