Ancient Nord Armor

"Ugh, that armor stinks of death. Have you been grave robbing?"

- Hold guard

Ancient Nord Armor is a set of heavy armor that appears in.

It's a variant of the iron armor set and has similar base attributes, however what makes it superior is it benefits from the Daedric Smithing perk which vastly improves its armor rating when upgraded and it is notably slightly lighter than other iron armor pieces. This makes it comparable with some of the higher tier armors. In addition, it does not include a shield as part of the set.

However, what makes it relatively rare is due to the fact that it cannot be obtained from dead draugr or crafted under normal circumstances.

Locations

 * The entire set can be looted from dragon cultists in Forelhost during the quest "Siege on the Dragon Cult".
 * The entire set can be looted from the ghost encountered at Kjenstag Ruins between 8:00pm and 4:00am.
 * All pieces except the helmet can be bought from Aela the Huntress if married, but only after trading her stronger armor.
 * Pieces can be found inside nooks and on several tables inside the Forsaken Crypt.

Smithing
The entire set can only be crafted at the Skyforge once the Companions main questline has been completed.

The armor is displayed in the Daedric section of the crafting list because the armor benefits from the Daedric Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement. All pieces can be upgraded with an iron ingot at a workbench.

Variants

 * Ahzidal's Armor - A unique set found in.

Trivia

 * Ancient Nord Armor is worn by Aela the Huntress, Hakon One-Eye and several other Nord heroes in Sovngarde.
 * Hold Guards will often comment about the armor, stating that it "stinks of death" and ask if they've been grave robbing, possibly because this armor is usually worn by Draugr.

Bugs

 * The armbands are missing in the male first person.
 * There is a graphical clipping issue with the "skirt" area of the chest piece, mainly on the back of the character's left leg when moving or sprinting. It seems to be more prominent on larger (bulkier) characters. This is also present on the female model, around the right shoulder on the back when walking.
 * The helmet might not appear on a Mannequin.
 * May disappear on a Mannequin
