Miraak (Dragon Language: Mir-Aak, "Allegiance-Guide") is a light or heavy armor mask found in The Elder Scrolls V: Dragonborn.

Acquisition

The mask can be acquired from Miraak's skeleton at the conclusion of the quest "At the Summit of Apocrypha."

Enchantment

Wearing this mask grants the following bonuses:

• Fortify Magicka: 40–70 points

Usefulness

Although any race will benefit from this, the Altmer in particular will possess an even greater magicka pool because of their natural predisposition towards magicka fortification. Obtaining this mask at level 60 or above will grant an advantage of 120 points of extra magicka, while the Nahkriin mask would offer only 100 points. When equipped with the archmage's robes and this helmet, such characters will possess 170 points of magicka. Should the Dragonborn also have the blessing from the atronach stone, this will easily be increased to 220 points. Equipping the Necromancer Amulet as well will give a total of 270 magicka points.

Smithing

Unlike other dragon priest masks, this mask cannot be improved at a workbench.

Variants

The version that is received is based on character level, and whether it is light or heavy armor is based on which one is at a higher level. There are six variants of the mask:

Trivia

• As with all dragon masks, it can be equipped with the falmer helmet.
• If Miraak is equipped along with the jagged crown, the crown's horns will be visible through the mask.
• The design of the mask slightly resembles Hermaeus Mora, a tentacled, squid-like monstrosity.
• Miraak's Mask resembles the face of a seeker.
• The light and heavy versions of the mask share the same statistics, except for the lowest level versions of each, which differ slightly in value and enchantment power.
• Due to the Light Armor version having the same armor rating as the Heavy counterpart, even the version obtained at level 1 offers protection that completely eclipses that of a Dragonscale Helmet. The Light Armor version of this mask offers the best armor rating out of all Light helmets.
• It is the only Dragon Priest mask to have a unique design besides Konahrik.
