Imperial Dragon Armor (Armor)



Imperial Dragon Armour is given to the player after completing the final mission in the main quest. As light armour, it provides less protection than mithril, elven, and glass armor. As heavy armour it provides less protection than orcish, ebony, and daedric armor. However, it is unique because it is enchanted. You aren't rewarded with it immediately, however. It is special-ordered and is ready at the Armory in the Imperial City prison district within two game weeks. The type of armor you receive depends on which of the two armor (Light and Heavy) skills is higher than the other, respectively. If your Heavy Armor and Light Armor skills are at the same level, you will get the Heavy Armor version. Its appearance is similar to that of Legion Armour but with different coloration and patterns similar to that of Ebony Armor. Martin Septim can be seen wearing an identical suit of armour during the quest Defense of Bruma. Imperial Dragon Armor was worn only by the emperors of the Tamrielic Empire. It was presumably first worn by Tiber Septim, and thus became a tradition for the emperors following him. The armour was crafted elegantly, with gems embedded into the golden metal of the plates. Its style was that of the armor of the Imperial Legion in Cyrodiil, raising the possibility that Legion armor was inspired by this design.
