Royal Vampire Armor and Blades - Dawnguard not required.

I was goofing around with chainmail textures and ended up with a couple of different styles of Vampire armor, so I am putting it together with some Vampire blades I was experimenting with, and releasing them in case anybody wants to vary up the vamp game a little bit.

This adds two types of chainmail armor, one based on the red vampire robes, and the other based on the royal robes, as well as five different blades, all various sizes of Harkon's sword. All are unenchanted and can be tempered at any forge. They are considered steel, so they can be forged without other perks, but like Blades swords, they are Elven quality and do Elven damage. Their weights are more realistic, however.

There are two apparently-identical swords, but one is one-handed and one is two-handed and worn on the back. There is also a shortsword and a dagger, as well as a greatsword. Most swing and reach in line with vanilla blades, but the shortsword has a reach, speed, and damage in between the dagger and 1h sword. The 2H sword of the same size does the same as the standard sword, though it swings quicker than a greatsword.

I made this with the intent for Dawnguard to be unnecessary, and TESVedit confirms that Dawnguard is not a source file, but I'd like for someone who does not have Dawnguard to test this, please, and let me know if everything works correctly for you.

The items are found in a trunk, in Movarth's Lair, under his bed, or by searching for "royal vampire" in the console.
Cleaned with TESVedit.

I will be playing with the blade sizes a little more, and if I can get a vampire shield to do what I want it to do, I may add that as well.
