Description
==========================================================================================================================================
This mod add the Elven Knight heavy armour (female only) to Skyrim. The armour is composed of 15 different pieces plus a wig for the hood that can be created at any normal forge and are found under the Daedric section. All pieces are upgradable at workbenches and fully enchantable.
The ratings for the armour are similar to those of the Daedric Dragonscale armour.
The armour comes in 4 different colour combinations: Silver metal and black leather, Gold metal and red leather, Copper metal and green leather and Black metal and brown leather.
There is a wig for the hood changes colour with your character's hair colour. This only works on the player, so it is called "Elven Knight Wig - Player". The ability of the wig to keep the colour when unequipping/equipping it or when exiting Skyrim completely and loading a saved game, it is managed through scripts that require SKSE version 1. 6. 16 or higher. The scripts work for vanilla hair colours and custom hair colours added by the RaceMenu mod. If you don't use SKSE or use an older version, when the wig looses its hair colour use the showracemenu console command to set your character's hair colour again and that will fix the wig's colour.
There are also other 8 wigs that have a fixed colour, intended for followers or other NPCs.
This makes a total of 69 new items (provided I counted them correctly) added to the game. You can combine the pieces of the different colours.
I've followed the slot usage convention explained here: Skyri
Ashara Elven Knight adds a female-only heavy armor set to Skyrim, consisting of 15 pieces plus a wig for the hood. Craftable at any forge under the Daedric section. A well-endorsed cosmetic armor mod from 2014.

- Community favorite with 2,376 endorsements and over 32k downloads.
- Craftable at any forge—no hunting for scattered pieces.
- Includes a wig for the hood, a nice touch for character customization.
⚠️ Cons
- Female-only—male characters get nothing.

For Skyrim players who want a new heavy armor option for female characters, especially those who enjoy crafting their gear. If you're a male character or want unisex armor, skip this one.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's craftable, you'll need the Daedric Smithing perk to see it at the forge.
- Check the in-game crafting menu under Daedric—it might not show up if you have other mods altering the forge list.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting other armor mods.
