Blades Armor (Skyrim)

Blades Armor is a Heavy Armor set that appears in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Description
This armor is highly incongruous with craftable armor sets (e.g. Ebony, Orcish, Dwarven). The chest piece falls between Orcish and Ebony Armor. The Boots are equivalent to Dwarven Boots. The gauntlets fall between Steel Gauntlets and Steel Plate Gauntlets. The Helmet and Shield are equivalent to their Dwarven counterparts.

It can also be improved with steel ingots, one of the more plentiful and cheaper metals available in game. Unfortunately, it does not benefit from any Smithing perk, so it will fall behind other armors as the player's Smithing improves.

Aesthetically, Blades armor is a mix between Japanese Samurai armor and the Lorica Segmentata. Similar to previous incarnations of Blades armor.

Location
You can acquire Blades Armor from Sky Haven Temple in the armory section. It will also become the default armor of any follower you have inducted into the Blades.
