- Permissions and credits
The sets
Ebony and elven- Spearhead set. Heavy set with stats similar to steel plate, but half the weight. Crafted under elven armor.
Closed helms - look similar, but you can't see your face. Behaves like a normal ebony helmet. The closed versions can be used on all beast races.
When trying to break out of the Imperial City during the Battle of the Red Ring aldmeri smiths reinforced soldiers armor with parts from ebony
sets. No one was short enough to wear the full sets of ebony.
Robed Elven- Absolution set. Robed elven set with Dawnguard pauldrons. female cuirass only
Robed Elven- Benison set- Robed elven set without Dawnguard pauldrons. for males and females
-Have stats similar to elven and crafted under elven. reports of crashes with females, but I can't replicate it.
THERE IS AN ALT BENISON VERSION ADDED FOR FEMALES INTO THE MAIN FILES IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ORIGINAL ONE.
Some altmer refugees became Vigilants of Stendarr and used the elven armor they had worn in Summerset.
Thalmor elven - Dingy Cuirass. Thalmor and elven chest piece. males and females. - Stats similar to elven. I wanted asymmetrical robes and a dark souls aesthetic. Uses practical female for the elven cuirass and uses truly light male/female elven to fill a gap around the crotch.
Thalmor elven- Dingy Full Cuirass. Same as above, but you have the full skirt and no elven metal feathers around the thigh.
Some Thalmor justicars have been in the field for too long. Their robes have become tattered and they have reinforced their uniform with light armor.
Noble elven- Highborn cuirass. Yellow robes and elven chest piece. Males and females. Stats similar to elven. Uses Practical female for elven cuirass and uses Witcher assets for the scrolls and satchel. Also uses truly light male/female to fill gaps around the crotch. The satchel had more items in it, but the bone weights didn't work correctly,
Armor worn by an Aldmeri noble or mage.
Vampire Elven - Covert Cuirass: Elven breastplate with cloth pants and sleeves. Strikes a compromise between formal, stealthy, and protection.
Forsaken Cuirass
Armor of an Aldmeri deserter that has adopted furs and feathers into their armor. The ragged remains of Epaulette(s) hang tattered on the side.
Light version has two Epaulette and the heavy has an elven pauldron and one Epaulette. Light has elven stats and the heavy has steel plate stats.
Stand Alone Items
-all of the stand alone items were only made with skyrim assets, so they have open permissions. go wild.
Closed Helm- Beak Helm. Helm of a lowly Aldmeri vanguard in the front lines. It loses the flair of the eagle head, but keeps its eagle motif by looking like a giant beak. Every Race can wear this. 50% chance of people wearing elven helms of wearing this.
(editors note: early designs allowed you to see the face, but there was too much clipping with the chin on beasts, so i compromised by having it act like the ebony helmet
Beak Helm ALT - same as above, but the neck cloth uses the elven thigh texture instead of the imperial closed.
Knife Boots- Rugged Boots. "...gonna start keepin' a knife in my boot... tired of gettin' disarmed..."
Helmet Pouch- Hard Pouch. A hard pouch meant to keep the contents from being damaged during travel. Stuffed with maps, scrolls, and soul gems.
-Front left, front right, back left, and back right. Uses the same slots as bandoliers which is 48, 55, 57, 58.
-no enchantment, but you can enchant them
Thalmor Bottle - Thermos. Skyrim can get cold, so keep your spirits warm with milk, wine, or mead.
-Front left, front right, back left, and back right. Uses the same slots as bandoliers which is 48, 55, 57, 58.
-no enchantment, but you can enchant them
Optional Files
Raw Oldrim meshes. No esp, but another modder can use them to make a back port or their own mod. Be careful to not break the permissions on the credits.
Replacer Helmet. Replacing the vanilla elven helmet with the beak helmet.
Dark vertexs. Adds a darker vertex paint onto elven armor, dingy, clandestine, and the hawk helm. Raw meshes only. no esp. Oldrim meshes. Doesn't include the texture for the dingy robe. This way you can have dark and gold elven armor without having the need for two textures.
