Shrouded Cowl

lol wut.

Joining the Dark BrotherhoodEdit
Joining the Dark Brotherhood automatically allows the armor to be collected; Astrid provides after arriving at the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary for the first time.

Killing Dark Brotherhood membersEdit
Alternatively, it can be obtained without joining the Dark Brotherhood by killing Astrid during the quest "With Friends Like These...". It is also found in the deserted Dawnstar Sanctuary, but is named "Worn Shrouded Armor". This variation has no bonuses but can be enchanted.

Additional setsEdit
A few additional sets of this armor may be obtained by having the "Perfect Touch", a perk of the Pickpocket skill tree. In the quest The Cure for Madness, another Dark Brotherhood sanctuary near Dawnstar is visited. The ghosts which roam the sanctuary wear this armor. Killing them causes their corpses to disappear, disallowing the collection of the armor. However, these apparition can be pickpocketed for the armor pieces with this perk. When the quest Where You Hang Your Enemy's Head is completed, an additional set of armor can be found on the Manaquin in the Master Bedroom.
 * The orc, Sharamph, in Mor Khazgur wears a Shrouded Hood that the player can pickpocket from her with the Perfect Touch perk.
