📋 About This Mod
"Of course you have. Everyone has heard of the master wizards of Morrowind. We are one of the great houses that rule Morrowind." - Master Neloth
This mod provides two sets of craftable outfits, one with the look of Telvanni robes, and one with the look of Temple Priest robes. They are available in both cloth and armored varieties. If you wish to rationalize this, envision them as robes worn over regular armor. The Temple Priest robes are bulky enough to easily justify this.
The Elder Telvanni set is available as light armor. The Telvanni shoes had clipping issues, and were replaced with plain black shoes. I tried a variety of boot styles, but all had clipping issues depending on gender. Handwraps and a circlet are provided to complete the set. The high collar can cause clipping with some hairstyles. These all have the same armor material types indicated in the parenthesis. They require Elven, Glass, and Dragon smithing perks respectively for crafting.

As a bonus (!) I have provided recipes for special heart stone robes. Please note that these only appear as the heart stone variant when worn by females. They must be worn with the Heart Stone amulet for the full effect. Their recipes require heart stones.

The Elder Temple set is available as heavy armor. Wristguards are provided with the set, but the wide sleeves allows mix and matching gauntlets from other sets. There is some minor clipping around the neck for females wearing the hood. These all have hte same armor material types indicated in the parenthesis. They require Steel, dwarven, Advanced, Ebony, and Daedric/Dragon smithing perks respectively for crafting.

✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 169 endorsements and over 15k downloads.
- Gives you both cloth and armored options, so you can look the part without sacrificing protection.
- Two distinct styles—Telvanni and Temple Priest—cover different roleplay vibes.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016, so it might not be fully compatible with newer game versions or mods.

For Skyrim players who want to dress their mage or priest character in lore-friendly robes with an armored option. If you're into Telvanni or Temple Priest aesthetics and don't mind a mod that's been around for a while, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're looking for a large armor pack or frequent updates.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's craftable, check the tanning rack or forge for the recipes—they might not be at a standard crafting station.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting other armor mods.
- Pair with a lore-friendly retexture mod to make the robes pop even more.
