📋 About This Mod
New standalone and lore-friendly heavy armor which is based on the familiar Ancient Nord Armor Set (Draugr Armor). This armor can be created exclusively at the forge (Advanced Armors), using special ingredients. The characteristics of this armor are similar to Nordic Carved Armor, but it is lighter and more difficult to make. The set includes a set of male and female armor, an additional armored hood, a lowered hood and a shield.
Update 1. 1: Added light armor with three headgear options (hood, armored hood, lowered hood) and a separate light berserker armor.
Great video presentation by Sand Gentleman.
