Introduction:

The Lunar Forge is situated at the top of the Silent Moons ruins, North-West of Whiterun:

During the day, this forge can be used to make any weapon you can make at any other ordinary forge:

At night, between 9 pm and 5 am, things are different. On the nearby workbench, you'll find a book that describes the effects the forge applies to weapons made, and used, during the night, "when the moons are out":

The Lunar Forge enchantment:

  • As described in the book, the Lunar Forge enchantment absorbs a (relatively) small amount of health from the target. This enchantment is levelled: 10, 20 or 30 points during 3 seconds per hit.
  • The enchantment being apparently given by the Moons themselves, it cannot be learnt.
  • For the same reason, the weapons never need to be refilled; their charge is constant.

Crafting the weapons:

The level of enchantment applied to the weapons depend on the player's level at smithing:

  1. under 30, you'll make weapons that absorb 10 points of health from the target during 3 seconds,
  2. between 30 and under 60, you'll make weapons that absorb 20 points of health from the target during 3 seconds,
  3. from level 60, you'll make weapons that absorb 30 points of health from the target during 3 seconds.

Examples in images, using war hammers (the same apply to the other weapons, of course):

Improving the weapons:

The weapons made can be improved at any sharpening wheel, even if you don't have the Arcane perk. Examples in images, using war hammers (the same apply to the other weapons, of course):

Pros and cons of using these weapons:

It's up to you to decide which is a "pro" or a "con":

  • the weapons can be made at the Lunar Forge only, between 9 pm and 5 am, any day,
  • the enchantment apply to iron and steel weapons, one handed and two handed; bows excepted,
  • the enchantment cannot be learned at an enchanting table and applied to other weapons (the reason is that this enchantment is added by the moons and exists outside the scope of scholarly knowledge),
  • the enchantments are constant: no need to use soul gems to recharge the weapons,
  • the enchantment works at night between 9 pm and 5 am.

The weapons created are lighter and faster than their counterparts. Comparison:

Side notes:

  • I added a tanning rack near the forge; it had always bugged me that there was no tanning rack there.
  • The vanilla broken Lunar Forge weapons that were laying around near the forge and inside the ruins have been disabled and replaced by new ones.

Incompatibilities:

Any other mod that handles the Lunar Forge weapons or modifies the place.

Released

For the players who would not be interested in crafting weapons, I've added a Lunar Steel Dagger that has the full enchantment on the table near the forge. It's the only one but it makes quite an interesting weapon to get at the beginning of the game.
