Skyforge Steel

See also: Crafting and Steel Weapons (Skyrim)

Skyforge Steel is made at the Skyforge in Whiterun by Eorlund Gray-Mane.

Skyforge Steel weapons are identical in appearance to regular steel weapons. The damage rating of Skyforge Steel weapons is in the tier of Elven weaponry while the weight is the same as Steel. Skyforge Steel weapons benefit from the Steel Smithing perk. The weapons are leveled as well.

The Dragonborn receives a free Skyforge Steel weapon of their choice from Eorlund Gray-Mane after completing the quest Proving Honor for The Companions. Like Steel weapons, they have Nordic runes and artwork engraved upon them, particularly around the hilt.
