Ebony Armor (Oblivion)

Ebony armor is thick and rare, crafted from a rare form of volcanic glass buried in the lava flows from Vvardenfell's Red Mountain. The armor is so named because of its black, glassy surface. It can be found as loot and off of enemies once you reach level fifteen. However, bows and shields have appeared before level fifteen. It is only second to Daedric armor as the best heavy armor.

Notes: "Base Value" refers to the actual value without mercantile or disposition affecting it. "Max. Armor" refers to the maximum amount of armor the piece can provide, assuming maximum stats and skill.
