Deathbrand Armor

The Deathbrand Armor is a unique set of stalhrim light armor that appears in.

Individually, each piece is weaker than dragonscale armor, however when the whole set is worn it ranks higher than Daedric Armor that is not tempered, due to the full set bonus.

History
The armor was said to be worn by the legendary pirate king, Haknir Death-Brand. After failing to find a worthy successor, his final wish before he died was for his crew to take a longboat to Solstheim and bury his armor in four separate locations on the coast, while he himself was buried in a barrow on the island.

Acquisition
All pieces are obtained from ancient chests that can only be found during the quest "Deathbrand". The locations are:

Smithing
The armor can be upgraded with a piece of Stalhrim, and the Arcane Blacksmith perk, at a workbench and benefits from the Ebony Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.

Trivia

 * The official game guide incorrectly lists Deathbrand Armor as Heavy Armor.
 * Deathbrand armor is Light Armor, which benefits from Light Armor skill and perks, but improving the armor through Smithing is ideally done with the Ebony Smithing perk which is on the Heavy Armor side of the Smithing skill tree. This means that unless a player has the Smithing skill tree filled up to Ebony Smithing (Though Daedric Smithing is required to improve the Deathbrand weapons), and the player has high Light Armor skill (which is unlikely given the Heavy Armor focus), the player is not likely to benefit much from Deathbrand Armor.
