The Keeper
Introduction:
- The Keeper is a very small mod aimed to bring more to Keeper Carcette's story. Utilising spliced vanilla dialogue, the mod adds a new quest where the player is tasked with saving the Vigilant from certain death and returning her to Fort Dawnguard. Past this goal, the project adds in a new schedule, outfit, and conversations for Carcette during her time at the Fort.
Features:
- Unique idea. While incredibly small, The Keeper should breath more life into Skyrim by expanding upon a criminally underutilised character from the base game. Originating from a commission, the idea is one touched upon by many mods, though the execution and inclusion of her presence within Fort Dawnguard is something I've not seen anywhere else.
- Fully voiced. To maintain compatability with any mods that seek to expand Carcette's character prior to the destruction of the Hall, utilising spliced vanilla lines was a deliberate choice for this project. While not perfect, I'm fairly happy with the end product, especially with the limited resources available.

FAQ:
Can the mod be downloaded mid-game?
- It should be fine to download mid-game, even if "A New Order" has been completed.
Is it ESLed?
- It is thanks to CharderoTheLupe!
Is the mod clean?
- Yes, I have only edited the necessary cells, there should be no conflicts due to dirty edits.
How do I start the quest?
- Completing the quest, "A New Order" and entering the Fort will trigger Isran's letter to be sent to the player.
Why did you use spliced lines?
- This was a deliberate choice for the mod and it's not something I did lightly. I will always use human voice actors, never resorting to cloning with the use of AI and so I knew from the beginning of this project that would never be an option. My standard way of creating new stories is through the use of a voice actor, though this process would have involved re-voicing every single line Carcette has access to, meaning likely hundreds of lines for all sorts of scenarios, something far too big in scale for a project of this size. I'm aware the splicing isn't perfect by any means but with the very limited resources at hand, and the alternative option of using AI, I am very happy with what I've created.
Is this compatible with X?
- The Keeper uses a different NPC post destruction, meaning if another mod does the same, there may be multiple instances of Carcette in the world. This means they shouldn't be used together, and any mods that would touch her dialogue may result in these new options being available when she's resituated within Fort Dawnguard.
Can I make a patch for the mod?
- I'd love it people made patches for any incompatibilities that arise, if you could send these to me, I'll upload them onto the mod page.
Can it be ported to Xbox?
- The original porter who would do all of my mods can no longer do it. If you're up to it and agree to give credit along with including my showcases on the page, I have no problems with you porting it.
How can I show my support?
- You can endorse the mod and vote it for mod of the month, if you like the content. And if you'd like to support me, check out my YouTube and Patreon!
