📋 About This Mod
Armory of the Dragon Cult - Dragon Priest Armor
Introduction
If you know me well enough by this point, I am a massive fan of Dragon Priests. I love their criminally sparse lore, and boy, do I love their aesthetic, to their imposing armor and their awesome masks. But in the vanilla game, it was just the masks. Well, Miraak got a full set of equipment, at least, but that was it. If you're like me, you were absolutely bothered by the fact that the masks didn't go well with most armor sets in the game. So I decided to be the change I wanted to see in the world. This mod expands upon Skyrim’s Dragon Priest Masks with full sets of armor for each named priest.
How To Obtain
You obtain the armor sets simply by killing the Dragon Priest that wore them in life. They are initially clothing, but can be upgraded to light/heavy armor at a forge using their respective material. Besides the masks, each set is unenchanted, but if you'd like them to come with enchantments, I highly recommend this unofficial addon that's based on Artificer.
The gloves and boots are not visually distinct between clothing and light/heavy armor, but the robes are. Here's Krosis' set as an example.
(Clothing/Light/Heavy)
A unique set for Konahrik is also available within a sealed chest in Bromjunaar Sanctuary. Once you obtain the mask, the chest will unlock.
(Clothing/Light/Heavy)
You can also upgrade Miraak's set to light/heavy armor. The vanilla Miraak robes are untouched.
(Clothing/Light/Heavy)
