This is a bit of a perversion of the lore, admittedly... but I tried to integrate this into the story as best I could.
There is an extended dialogue scene (fully voiced with heavily remixed vanilla lines) where you talk her into traveling with you.
She also has a handful of other new lines when she's with you.
[b]To recruit her as a follower:[/b]
[i]Complete the Tel Mithryn storyline in Solstheim[/i], sorry, I know it's long...
Look for her in the main tower of Tel Mithryn after you've turned in the quest to defeat her.[/size]
[color=#ff7700][b]You can cheat your way past the story by pulling the big lever out behind Tel Mithryn tower. It will enable the follower inside.
This should work if she's already dead in your playthrough, or if you just don't want to deal with the quests.[/b][/color]
[color=#d9ead3]There will be a note nearby that explains what she's doing there.[/color]
[color=#d9ead3]READ THE NOTE before you try to interact with her.[/color]
[color=#d9ead3]The rest should be self-explanatory.[/color]
[b]Please note: [/b]
[color=#d9ead3]Ildari is still an unambiguously evil character, clearly responsible for a variety of horrific crimes... and maybe not the best traveling companion unless you're doing a total bad guy playthrough. But that's your call. [/color]
[b]Also:[/b]
[color=#d9ead3]The contents of this mod are a little on the cheeky side. [/color]
[color=#d9ead3]I tried to keep it as grounded and lore-friendly as possible, but the premise is silly and I'm not afraid to acknowledge that.[/color]
[color=#d9ead3]This isn't Misty Skye levels of absurdity, but it's not dead serious either.[/color]
[b][color=#f9cb9c][size=4]This mod also replaces the main outfit of mini-boss Falx Carius.[/size][/color][/b]
[color=#d9ead3][size=3]Carius, though part of a separate quest, is thematically tied to Ildari in the story. He also wears the same kind of implanted heart stone, so while I was modding Ildari's body I modded his too. He was otherwise not overhauled as extensively as Ildari.[/size][/color]
[b][color=#f9cb9c][size=4]Bonus Files Available![/size][/color][/b]
[color=#d9ead3][size=3]I provided the RaceMenu preset I used for Ildari's head mesh.

[size=4][b][color=#f9cb9c]HUGE SPOILERS ABOUT HOW THIS WORKS STORY-WISE:[/color]
[color=#d9ead3](Highlight to read)[/color][/b][/size]
[color=#000000][b]In the base game:[/b]
Ildari Sarothril is Neloth's power-hungry former apprentice who "died" as a results of his experiments. She reportedly volunteered to have her heart cut out and replaced by a magical Heart Stone. She was left for dead, only to be resurrected as a powerful undead witch with a connection to the "bones of the earth," able to raise and control armies of Ash Spawn. She is discovered to be behind various attacks against her former home of Tel Mithryn, and Neloth sends the player to kill her. Along the way you may find that she has been conducting horrific experiments on unwilling, living human subjects. She is unable to die until, during the fight, the player removes her Heart Stone, the source of her power and immortality.
[b]In the mod:[/b]
After the player defeats Ildari, Neloth has his apprentice return her body to Tel Mithryn for further study. She can be found in a makeshift coffin in a storage area up in the tower. The player shouldn't be able to interact with her until reading a conspicuous note that's sitting nearby. This will get rid of the invisible walls around her and you can initiate a "conversation" where, if you have a Heart Stone in your inventory, you can choose to place it in her chest to revive her. Once she wakes up, she will be angry and disoriented and hurl threats and insults at you; after all, you recently killed her. At this point you can talk to her for a while and sort out your differences. The two of you can come to an agreement and she will leave with you.
She's still totally evil and she won't be nice to you. [/color]
[color=#f9cb9c][size=4][b]WTF, WHY DID I MAKE THIS MOD:[/b][/size][/color]
[color=#d9ead3]This actually started out as a small part of a planned update to my [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/62338]Briarheart overhaul mod[/url]. I was looking at Neloth's quests and how they relate to Briarheart lore, and decided I could do a better job with the "implanted heart stone" armor worn by two NPC's, Falx Carius and Ildari Sarothril.
I felt it was very weird that the glowing magic stones that were supposedly implanted into their chests were worn on the outside of their clothes. It seemed like, since Neloth was trying to replicate Briarheart technology, these people would look more like Briarhearts. I set about making some new heart stone bodies using a combination of my Briarheart models and the Ildari/Falx gear.
Eventually I realized the Briarheart meshes weren't helping at all, and I might as well start over. For a laugh, I started with buxom body meshes from my [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/83060]Misty Skye[/url] mod for Ildari, so she would have enormous boobs, then I made a really revealing outfit to show off the Heart Stone body. (Some clothes from Misty Skye will be interchangeable!) Ildari's face was kind of gross, so I started tinkering with a custom head mesh and like DAMN, she turned out hott. I was running around testing this stuff out in game and thought, OK, this character looks gorgeous and really badass... She will be a cool villain, but how can I make a follower version? Everybody is gonna want a follower version...
So, what started out as a quick remesh of some funky armor worn by two bad guys on Solstheim, turned into a whole super elaborate mod as I tried to twist and bend the lore to turn one of the most evil characters in the game into a friend. I started editing all kinds of new dialogue and kept adding to it and adding to it...
Decided early on to release this as its own thing.
Anyway now here's this weird mod... Here's this awesome character you don't meet until the end of a really long quest chain, at which point you have to kill her, and I made it so you can then resurrect her and be her friend. It all makes very little sense, but she's super pretty so nobody will care.
