FOLLOWERS (Dark/Fire/White/Storm/Frost Ravens, Griffons)

This mod adds the ability to quickly incubate eggs with the fire of the forge, and quickly create a horde of little RAVENS or GRIFFONS (5, 15, 25, MORE? ATTENTION with the freezes in your computer) that are following you as if you were their mother

To obtain these eggs, simply bring any “XX Egg” (found with some merchants in WHITERUN: Arcadia of Arcadia’s Cauldron, Anoriath, Hulda of the Bannered Mare; RIFTEN: Keeravia at the Bee and Barb, Elgrim at Elgrim’s Elixirs, Marise Aravel, Vekel at the Ragged Flagorn in the Ratways; SOLITUDE: Angeline at Angeline’s Aromatics, Corpulus at Winking Skeever, Sayma at Bits and Pieces, Addvar) to a forge and create the "Incubated XX Egg" in the "misc" section. Now open up your inventory, navigate to "Scrolls" and there they are. You throw them and when they hit the ground they hatch into little creatures

When your creatures die remember to loot their corpses for more eggs

Only to go up in altitude
