Madness Armor

Madness Armor is one of the two new sets of armor added with The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles expansion. It is a set of heavy armor and is one of the better sets available in the game. This armor is forged from madness ores, which can be found in deposits in Ayleid Ruins or on various Grummites. You can also find matrices which can be used to imbue the armor with a default enchantment (see below). The only person who can forge this armor is Cutter. She is a Bosmer smith who lives and works at Cutter's Weapons in the Crucible.
