Hotfile!... Along with the Manticore armour, really appreciate it.


This is a new Dark Brotherhood themed assassin armour with a light and heavy version available (and a male and female) with HDT physics (a non HDT version is also available). The armour is craftable at any forge if you have an 85 smithing level and a 75 light armour level (or 75 heavy armour level instead - for the heavy version). If you do not have these skill levels then the armour will NOT appear at the forge. The armour is also temperable, of course.

All the stats to the armour are roughly at the same level as the Ebony gear, though you'll only need standard steel level crafting materials to make it. There are two variants of the cowl, a more straight black one and one with the pattern of a skull, you can also have hoodless masks or a maskless hood - you'll be able to craft all variants at the forge. There are also matching blades - a one handed shortsword and a two handed bastard sword that I created from scratch for you to use that is also craftable. I have included the left mesh for the blade for so you can use it with Dual Sheath Redux, which is demonstrated in the screenshots above. To be able to craft the bastard sword you will need a 75 skill level in two-handed on top of the required smithing and heavy armour skill levels.

There is currently no beast race compatibility but I am working on it and hope to have it done soon. I've also made a replacer version for the actual Dark Brotherhood armour, for anyone who doesn't like the vanilla shit stain armour (like me). There is a non HDT version for anyone who doesn't use HDT Physics Extension just be sure to download only one of the files.

REQUIRED
