📋 About This Mod
Also check out my Dark Brotherhood Shield: Comes with 5 shields. 3 variations of basic light shield and this one below. Heavy Shield. Check out the mod below. Haladoon's Dark Brotherhood Shield
Version 1. 1 changes: Added Enchanted Version in DB Sanctuary by the Light version. Arnbjorn now wears this Armor. Slight DECREASE in the armor stats to prevent Overpowered gear. Around the same as Ebony. Enchants on this armor can also be Disenchanted.
*Due to red and black being the most popular, red will no longer be updated. If you want to have red, simply switch out the textures.
This armor is under Ebony for Smithing, but you don't need any Perks to make it. I layed 11 Ebony ingot in Whiterun by the Crafting station to give you a head start if you don't have any yet. Other than Ebony, there is 2 more ingredients you need and that is Leather Strips and Nightshade. Nightshade can be found all over Whiterun. It's usually by graveyards, shrines and Alchemy shops. I used Skyrim HD texture to make it.
To make: Go to Smithing Furnace with Ebony Ingots, Leather Strips and Nightshade flowers. If you need leather strips, download my other mod and buy some from Cybil or any other Hunter Vendor: --> Hunter Vendors
NEW BLACK AND RED VERSION:
TO UNINSTALL: Go inside Data folder and remove:
DarkBrotherhoodArmor.esp Go inside Meshes>armor>(remove dbarmor) Go inside Textures>armor>(DBarmor)
Or just use NMM
UPDATED to have Enchanted Versions in DB Sanctuary.
Arnbjorn now wears this Armor.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,136 endorsements and nearly 40k downloads.
- Fills a niche gap—heavy armor for the Dark Brotherhood is rare.
- Simple concept: take Ebony Armor, make it Dark Brotherhood-themed.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016, so it may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
- No screenshots or detailed description, so you're flying blind on the design.
- Potential conflicts with other armor mods that alter Ebony Armor or Dark Brotherhood gear.
For Skyrim players who want to play a heavy-armor assassin or warrior in the Dark Brotherhood. If you're tired of the faction's light armor options and want something beefier, this is for you. Skip if you're fine with light armor or want more complex features like enchantments or crafting recipes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a standalone armor mod, you can find it in your inventory or forge—check the Ebony smithing perk.
- If you're using a mod manager, install it manually or via NMM/Vortex; load order shouldn't matter much.
- Pair it with a Dark Brotherhood hood or mask for the full look.
