[size=14]Description
==========================================================================================================================================[/size]

This mod add the Elven Knight heavy armour (female only) to Skyrim. The armour is composed of 15 different pieces plus a wig for the hood that can be created at any normal forge and are found under the Daedric section. All pieces are upgradable at workbenches and fully enchantable.

The ratings for the armour are similar to those of the Daedric Dragonscale armour.

The armour comes in 4 different colour combinations: Silver metal and black leather, Gold metal and red leather, Copper metal and green leather and Black metal and brown leather.

There are also other 8 wigs that have a fixed colour.

This makes a total of 68 new items (provided I counted them correctly) added to the game. You can combine the pieces of the different colours.

I've followed the slot usage convention explained here: Skyrim bodyparts number

[size=14]Required mods
==========================================================================================================================================[/size]

The female bodies used for the armour are the default UNP bodies (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=6709). 
But, if you use the chainmail version of the cuirass you can use any body mod as it covers the body completely.
If you use another body mod you may see weird textures in places were the clothing shows the skin or see some clipping.

[size=14]Incompatibility
==========================================================================================================================================[/size]

Sarinia has made a path that makes this mod compatible with Valdacil's Item Sorting mod. You can download it here: Valdacil's Item Sorting Patches for Ashara Armor Mods.

None that I am aware of. If you find anything, please tell me.

[size=14]Known issues or bugs
==========================================================================================================================================[/size]

There is some clipping in some poses. 
The wig and helmet are visible when equipped by beast races, but they may clip as their head has a different shape than the human head.
If you find anything else, please tell me.

==========================================================================================================================================[/size]

You can reuse any part of this mod into your own mod but all I ask in return is that you give me credit if you distribute any part of this mod.
If you want to reuse the female body credit Brokefoot, Kurese and Dimon, too, and send a PM to Brokefoot before uploading your mod.
If you want to reuse the pants, skirt or trousers you must credit Dimon too and release your mod on Nexus. 
If you want to reuse the female wigs you must credit zzjay, PeggyZone and LaughingVampire too.
You cannot port the helmet, the pauldrons, the gauntlets, the belt, the tasset and the boots meshes/textures into another game as those objects are part of vanilla Skyrim.
