📋 About This Mod

Makes the Skyrim Ebony armor , uploaded by AkitoKuno, into a standalone, usable armour set.

Introduction and details:

I'm a big fan of Dunmer culture, and the Skyrim ebony armour design was supposedly Dunmeric, so I downloaded AkitoKuno's resource and made it into a usable, standalone set of armour.

When sticking it into the game world, I was at a bit of a loss, since there were several options:

  • []Give it to merchants, so you could buy it? That'd require the right merchant, the right level-list, etc.;

    []Give it to a high-level bandit, or dump it into some dungeon? I don't know a good bandit/ dungeon where this armour would make sense;

    []Stick it into the testinghall? That'd break immersion.

SO, I came up with a lore-friendly, immersive way to get the armour. I gave it to Farwil Indarys! Think about it: he's a Dunmer, he's the son of a noble, and he's the leader of a knightly order - it's perfect! And, thanks to the way his quest was made, you have an organic way to obtain his armour without stealing it off him with your master pickpocket skill (though you can technically still do that, if you want, I think). Now, originally, he didn't wear a helmet, so if you want the helmet, you'll have to actually steal it from the Knights of the Thorn Lodge (location screenshot provided).

ALSO, if you don't want to steal, if you don't want to let Farwil die, or if you, for whatever reason, can't do his quest (alternate start mods, or something?), I hid a full set of Skyrim ebony armour somewhere in Cheydinhal. It is up to you, to find it (hey, who said being a good guy is easy?).

Note: I called it 'Dunmer Ebony Armour', to reflect the whole Dunmeric cultural thing, so if you come across it, know that it's what you're looking for.

Note2: The stats are the same as for vanilla ebony armour.

Now for the negative side:

1) The armour uses the vanilla ebony world-meshes and icons - AkitoKuno didn't provide them, and I don't know how to make them myself, sorry.

2) I'm only uploading the .esp, you still need to download the meshes and textures from AkitoKuno (link provided).

3) The armour has no matching shield - again, AkitoKuno didn't provide one.

Credits:
