📋 About This Mod
Adds 4 different colour variations for a standalone armor set for males and females, crafted at a forge, (Cuirass, Boots, Gauntlets) that synergises perfectly with Auriel's Bow and Shield. There is heavy, light and robes levels in every colour variation.
Physics options have been added :D

For armor types and requirements:
Heavy - Daedric Rating, requires Advanced Armors perk and "Touching the sky" quest completion
Light - Dragonscale Rating, requires Elven Smithing perk and "Touching the sky" quest completion
Robes - Clothing, requires Arcane Blacksmith and "Touching the sky" quest completion
(Touching the sky is the quest where you get Auriel's Bow)
There are optional ESP replacers, one of which removes crafting requirements and the other simply puts the items in a chest instead of recipes. The chest is located behind the wayshrine on the Chantry Balcony (where you get Auriel's Bow).

I may also look into adding a helmet, albeit an actual visible model or invisible matching piece, however for now I recommend the original Ancient Falmer Crown as it suits the aesthetic without any changes. Unfortunately I only know how to work with basic texturing and have little experience modelling.
^ Headpiece is on the way, I've finished the model I just need to texture it now
For the meantime I can recommend Remiro's Ancient Falmer Armor HD as it makes the crown suit the armor in better definition or CCOR as it adds a snow elf circlet that also matches :)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community support (328 endorsements, 9.9k downloads)
- Lore-friendly aesthetic that fits the Ancient Falmer theme
- Standalone, so it won't overwrite vanilla armor
⚠️ Cons
- Only 4 variations, so limited visual diversity
- No gameplay changes—purely cosmetic
- Potential compatibility issues with mods that alter Auriel's Bow or Shield
For Skyrim players who want a lore-friendly armor set to pair with Auriel's gear. If you're a completionist or roleplayer focused on the Dawnguard questline, this adds a nice touch. Skip if you're looking for gameplay-altering armor or need more variety.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and manage this armor mod easily.
- Check the in-game crafting or console commands to obtain the armor—many standalone sets require crafting at a forge or using the help command.
- If you're on Special Edition, make sure the mod version matches your game version to avoid crashes.
