[img]https://i.imgur.com/O1O0Q2Q.png[/img][/size][/font][/center][center][font=Times New Roman][size=4]In general definition, a spectre is a ghostly entity designed to perform a particular function, of its own accord or against its will, forced by a higher power. Guardian spectres then are by definition ghosts that guard certain locations or people, because they wanted to do that in life, or because they are chained to that function, due to punition or simply as a victim of evil mages. Naturally because it involves contact with the dead, and even their subjugation in some cases, the use of guardian specters is often viewed with suspicion, and often mingles with necromancy. [/size]
[size=4]Many kinds of spectres exist, and I can quote from Penitents to Dwemer Spectres, [/size]
[size=4]or also Bonelords and Ancestor Ghosts, and will be subject to other mods, [/size]
[size=4]but this particular one adds the following Guardian Spectres:[/size]
[size=4](all them here are unique bosses and do not do respawn, instead you can loot the spell to use the powers to summon each one 1 time per day from their ectoplasmic remains, so i will tell the specific story of each one of this unique guardian spectres, and not the general story of each type)
[/size][/font][font=Times New Roman][color=#1e84cc][size=6][b]CHILLING SPECTRE
[/b][/size][/color]
[img]https://i.imgur.com/QNgFGkm.jpg[/img]
[/font][font=Times New Roman][size=4]When Winterhold's collapse occurred, nearly the entire school managed to stay intact except for a small tower that fell to the icy beach below and over time was partially buried in snow. A convenant of cryomancers has made it their hideout and has been practicing the arcane arts of ice control there ever since. [/size]
[size=4]One of his greatest creations was the Chilling Spectre which guards the inner dwellings. It belongs to the kind of spectres that are created against his own will. Usually in these cases it is not initially a ghost, but a wraith, that is a soul that has long since lost its purpose and sanity, being much easier to control and subvert. The arcane and necromancer process, with touches of cryomancy, involves not only embedding the wraith in absurdly powerful powers, but also virtually removing any remnants of individuality and personality. This kind of spectre has lost all will and reasoning, being an empty husk, almost a golem, simply animated by a soul with no sense of self.[/size]
[size=4]Besides frost attacks, Chilling Spectres in combat can also use powerful Silence attacks, embedded in their own magic element, and summon enthralled wraiths also wrapped in the same magic element as them. [/size][/font][font=Times New Roman]

[size=6]VIGILANT ANCESTOR
[/size][/b][/color]
[img]https://i.imgur.com/l3qXGUf.jpg[/img]
[size=4]A vigilant ancestor is usually a ghost still retaining his sanity who was willing, usually still in life, to devote his eternity to protecting a particular location, almost allways a clan tomb. After death your spirit goes through an arcane process in which he is imbued with powerful magic and becomes a formidable guardian, in addition to maintaining his reasoning and decision-making abilities.[/size]
[size=4] Due to the routes used, close to what the dunmer for example called the Holy Necromancy, vigilant ancestors tend to be a little less powerful than their more irrational and dark counterparts, such as a Chilling Spectre, that are just a husk for arcane black powers. Contrary to the type of spectres cited above, the Vigilant Ancestors are unable to summon and control enthralled wraiths due to their shadowy nature, instead they simply summon the reminiscences of those for whom they sacrificed their existente to ensure the eternal rest. Nevertheless, Vigilant Ancestors are not easily removed from their duties, or persuaded to act in any way beyond their simple function, which is to protect their tombs from intruders. [/size]
[size=4]The Gallows Rock Silver-Hand had been continually having the dead bodies of their deceased unearthed and desecrated, and often devoured by werewolves in retaliation. Driven by hatred and pain, they led an extermination of these packs, led by a prominent warrior and his brother, a prominent arcane knower. The remaining bodies were moved by a partially destroyed small dungeon to the east of Gallows Rock, which became the tomb for this clan to prevent future desecration, and was called Silver Tear Keep. [/size]
[size=4]During one such hunt the warrior was mortally wounded by an alpha werewolf, and upon returning to Gallows Rock, his last request was that his brother turn him into a Vigilant Ancestor so that he could protect the resting of his clan forever. [/size]
[size=4]Like most of Skyrim's magical creatures, he uses ice-based magic, and can temporarily summon the ghostly reminiscences of his late comrades to aid him protecting the tomb.[/size]

[color=#ff7700][b][size=6]FLAMING SPECTRE
[/size]
[img]https://i.imgur.com/aQ5fz34.jpg[/img][/b][/color]
[size=4]A group of Pyromancers have made a small and partially destroyed Nordic ruin their arcane lookout and a base of operations to further invade nearby Ragnvald ruins. Despite this they still need to deal with Forsworn attacks and Minotaur groups. [/size]
[size=4]His most exquisite creation was a powerful Flaming Spectre that guards the interior of the lookout. Basically it is the same kind of spectre to which the Chilling Spectre mentioned above belongs too, except in this case involved in fire magic, silence spells and summoning fire based enthralled wraiths to aid him in combat.[/size]
[size=4]It is important to note that commonly this type of spectre was not necessarily a skilled individual in magic when alive, unlike liches and other undead users of arcane powers. As I said, they are usually ordinary individuals, either voluntarily or involuntarily soaked in magical powers by external forces, and imprisoned in certain functions by them.

[b][color=#351c75][size=6]SPARKLING SPECTRE
[/size]
[img]https://i.imgur.com/gt5q2Mx.jpg[/img][/color][/b]
[size=4]A case basically similar to the two previous ones. An abandoned small state near Mor Khazgur's stronghold has been taken over by electromancers who turned it into their lodge, and there they practice their arcane electricity-based magic. His exquisite creation was a Sparkling Spectre, a powerful user of shock magic, silence spells, and who summons enthralled wraiths involved in the same kind of elemental power as well.

[color=#cc0000][b][size=6]HEMONCULOUS
[/size]
[img]https://i.imgur.com/LXvrCd4.jpg[/img]
[/b][/color]
[size=4]A hemonculous is a curious creation. First it is important to differentiate a Hemonculous and a [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/93649?tab=posts]Homonculus[/url]. A Homonculus is a red winged creature similar to an Imp, created via alchemy, being a relatively simple chimeric creature. A Hemonculous is named after the ancient word Hemo, which means blood, and Homonculus, an alchemical creation. Basically a Hemonculous is then a chimera made using blood magic. Vampires use Vigilant Ancestors, who are then victims of Vampire Charm and through blood magic are corrupted, becoming guardians for these clans, rather than their initial role that would lead them to kill them. This happens when vampires invade tombs to make their hideouts there, and among them have vampire masters powerful enough to carry out this process of charm and alchemy. A Hemonculous retains his sanity and intelligence, but finds himself the victim of a powerful vampiric delusional charm, which leads him to believe that they are his masters, and that his new function is to protect them, just as anyone person or creature victimized by illusion spells. Also commonly the ghostly reminiscences of the deceased that the Ancestor Guardians protect become corrupted and victims of the charm effect as well. These corrupted Vigilant Ancestors are reddish in color, engulfed in blood magic, and their attacks drain life. [/size]
[size=4]A small Dawnguard tomb, dating back to past ages, of the order's first act, lies just below the Broken Helm Hollow cave, hidden in a waterfall. Guarded for centuries, if not millennia, by a faithful Vigilant Ancestor, who was once an honorable dawnguard warrior, has now been invaded by a vampire clan, which has made it their place of desecration, filling the place of victims, blood, and corrupting its guardian. and who rested there protected by him. Unknown to the reformulated order Dawnguard, when accidentally located by some order patrol they are quickly attacked and killed, or often turned into human cattle, thus keeping this vampires hidden to the order as a whole.

This is evidenced by the gradual loss of human appearance, such as hands losing flesh, and part of the head simply dissolving, being now just a floating face of falling exposed flesh, which in the future will be only bones, as seen in the spectres such as the Flaming, Chilling and Sparkling ones, all originated and corrupted from wraiths. Obviously this human traits are only the remnant of the entity's self-image, neither flesh nor real bones, but shows that they are indeed loosing humanity, and turning themselves basically into empty husks. Flaming, Chilling and Sparkling Spectres summon this enthralled wraiths to help them, and they are embedded in the same magica as their summoners, but with less power and more modest arcane attributes.[/size][/font][font=Times New Roman]
