Imperial Dragon Armor

Imperial Dragon Armor was a specific type of armor worn only by the emperors of the Tamrielic Empire. It was presumably first worn by Tiber Septim, and thus became a tradition for the emperors following him. The armor was crafted elegantly, with gems embedded into the golden metal of the plates. Its style was that of the armor of the Imperial Legion in Cyrodiil, raising the possibility that Legion armor was inspired by this design. The one case where the armor was not worn by an emperor was after the Oblivion Crisis, when the Imperial throne was left empty and the Hero of Kvatch was named Champion of Cyrodiil and was gifted with the armor.

Behind the Scenes

 * Imperial Dragon Armor is the reward for completing the main quest of Oblivion. Compared to the other armors of the game, it can be considered a mediocre reward at higher levels.
