📋 About This Mod
Important information!
The HDT version of the mod requires HDT High Heels System. Get it here!
Both versions require TBBP Compatible skeleton. Get it here!
Works with any UNP body as long as you fill the requirements above!
You can find the old Mitosuke's CBBE conversions here! :)
Info:
A light armor that can be crafted using the blacksmith forge. It requires ebony ingots, leather, wood and gold. It has similar stats with dragonscale armor and has a variety of customization options. A war axe and a shield with bleeding damage also included. All items can be improved using the workbench.
Note:
This is a skimpy version of the Ancient Nord armor that already exists in game, with new high res textures and a few additions and subtractions :) The weapon and shield also exist in game but were re textured to match the armor. Also all stats are boosted but with equally higher crafting requirements.
I tried to make the armor and weapon as much lore friendly as possible using only materials that visually exist in Skyrim. As for lore friendly high heels hmmm, this is as close as they can get :p

Required mods:
HDT HighHeels System by hydrogensayshdt for the HDT version.
XP32 Maximum Skeleton -XPMS by xp32 for the TBBP skeleton.
Or the one I'm using and highly recommend Nakrulz Skeleton Pack (download under the optional files).
A UNP body based texture like the awesome Mature skin texture and body for UNP CBBE ADEC by Maevan2
or any of your liking.
Known issues:
Using HDT Version without HDT High Heels System the game will crash.
If you equip the body armor without a TBBP compatible skeleton the game will crash.
The underwear and boots don't have proper ground objects. Avoid dropping them :)
Due to the many transparencies of the armor, blood spills appear in places they shouldn't.
One workaround is to use the mod Enhanced Blood Textures and set the wounds duration to a minimum.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community approval with over 9,000 endorsements and 158k downloads.
- Adds a full armor set plus weapons, giving you a complete draugr-themed loadout.
- Light armor with dragonscale-level stats—great for stealth or mage characters who want decent protection without heavy weight.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2014—may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
- Requires UNP body type and BBP, so it won't work with CBBE or other body replacers without conversion.
- No detailed crafting or upgrade information provided—you'll need to figure out the exact perks and smithing requirements in-game.
For Skyrim players who want a thematic draugr armor set that's light and practical, especially those using UNP body mods. If you're a fan of ancient Nord aesthetics and want a matching axe and shield, this is a solid pick. Skip if you use CBBE or prefer heavy armor—this won't fit your setup.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the UNP body mod installed, as this armor is designed for that body type.
- You'll need the smithing perk that allows you to craft ebony items—check your perk tree before heading to the forge.
- The bleeding effect on the shield is great for melee builds—pair it with a one-handed weapon for extra damage over time.
