Nordic Carved Armor

 is a set of heavy armor that appears in. Its base armor rating is slightly more than Orcish armor.

Locations
Unenchanted pieces of armor will begin to appear at level 25 and enchanted variants can be found at level 26. These locations include:
 * Found as random loot in chests or as a world item.
 * Worn by bandit chiefs, reaver lords and reaver marauders.

Smithing
Nordic Carved Armor requires a Smithing level of 50 and the Advanced Armors perk to create. Pieces can be forged at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:
 * Quicksilver Ingot
 * Ebony Ingot
 * Steel Ingot
 * Leather Strips

Pieces can be upgraded with a quicksilver ingot at a workbench and also benefit from the Advanced Armors perk, which doubles the improvement.

Trivia

 * This armor set bears slight resemblance in design styles and overall lines to that of the armor style depicted on statues of the legendary Ysgramor (sans the helmet and cape).
