Variety in weapons used by the Imperial legion has always been a pet peeve of mine, one that I partially addressed in Heavy Armory by extending the Imperial weapon range.
With this mod, I take it one step further and introduce a new Imperial-themed weapon and armour set.
This mod also adds a new Imperial Silver armour and helmet, 7 new weapons, plus another 6 weapons if you install one of the Armory
additions.
Imperial Silver weapons are used by the highest officers of the Imperial legion in Skyrim. Also some higher members of the Penitus Oculatus have access to them. General Tullius, the 10 Legates, as well as the Penitus Oculatus members Commander Maro, Captain Avidius, and Lieutenant Salvarus, will get an Imperial Silver weapon. The armor is exclusively used by the Legates.
These items are distributed using SPID.
If you don't use SPID, you will still be able to find some of these items placed in logical places in the game world.
You’ll also be able to craft them at any forge once you are promoted to the rank of Legate during the Legion questline and have the Advanced Armors perk!
The mod installer also has an option for players who want to be able to craft the new items without the quest requirement!
Imperial Silver weapons are similar to the Glass tier in terms of damage, but weigh much less. They also gain the Silver weapon bonus against Undead and Werebeasts! Imperial Armour is close to Ebony.
Weapons and armour are distributed to NPC's using SPID. You can use this mod without SPID and still obtain the entire set or armor and weapons, but these items will be more rare. Consider SPID a soft requirement for my mod.
Patches
The FOMOD installer comes with a couple of patches built in.
- Audio Overhaul for Skyrim by David Jegutidse & Immersive Sounds - Compendium by lazygecko
Patches some of the weapons to use new sounds from these mods. The installer should auto-detect which mods (if any) you have active

Extends the Imperial Silver range with 6 new weapons. Both of these add-ons can be used together or separately from each other.
- CCOR & WACCF by Kryptopyr
There are different variations of these patches included in the installer, but the correct ones should be auto-selected for you!
