Imperial Armor (Skyrim)

 is a type of Heavy Armor found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Description
The Imperial Armor is the primary armor worn by the Imperial Army in Skyrim. It largely resembles ancient Roman armor, in keeping with the overall theme of the Empire's military likeness to that of the Roman Empire.

It can be looted off of Legion soldiers. The earliest a player can accommodate a full set of the heavy variant is from the Female Legion Captain after the Dragonborn's failed execution, if you side with the Stormcloaks by following Ralof into the keep rather than Hadvar.

The armor is available as a heavy armor that can be acquired by the player or crafted with the proper Smithing skill. There is also a version of Imperial Light Armor that is light armor but it cannot be crafted by the player. It should also be noted that General Tullius' armor can be obtained via the console (PC version only) and can also be upgraded like standard Imperial armor.

Smithing
Imperial Armor can be crafted at a Forge using the Smithing skill.

Upgrading
Each piece of the Imperial Armor set can be upgraded with one Steel Ingot (per piece of armor).
