1	Set Material:	Iron	Dreugh	Dunmer Steel	Bonemold
2	Helmet	It may be stained, dented, rusting, and visibly repaired with soft lead and questionable twine, but it's yours now. Still, you can't help but wonder how many people died in this helmet before you picked it up.	A helm made from the hallowed head of a dreugh. There’s still a semblance of life lingering around the vacant eye sockets. “When the dreughs ruled the world, the Daedroth Prince Molag Bal had been their chief. He took a different shape then, spiny and armored and made for the sea.” — The Thirty-Six Lessons of Vivec, Sermon 29	A sturdy helm bearing the central ridge and thick undercloth reminiscent of those who traverse the Ashlands. Its elegant design hearkens back to days in which Dunmer fought nobly, under the open sky. "To be a noble of House Redoran is more than being a great warrior. One must follow the triune virtues of duty, gravity, and piety." --- The True Noble's Code	A helm of softened shell and bone, fastened into shape by natural resins. Its reliance on organic materials has led each region of Vvardenfell to take on designs specific to their customs and resources. It is said by some that the delicate markings and runes represent the true face of each Great House. "From the heart, the light; from the head, the law.” --- The Book of Dawn and Dusk
3	Cuirass	Heavy, laced with cracks, and bearing the unmistakable smell of a swamp, but good protection nonetheless. At least the rat-skin kilt isn't too mangy.	Tough and inflexible, this medium-weight piece is constructed from a dreugh’s carapace wrapped in seafoam cloth. The exoskeleton can stop a dagger yet is light enough for swimming. “Vivec, in giving birth to the many spawn of his marriage, had dropped an old image of Molag Bal into the world: a dead carapace of memory. It would not have been a monster if a Velothi child had not wanted to impress his village by wearing it.” — The Thirty-Six Lessons of Vivec, Sermon 29	The heavy steel plates of this cuirass are fastened together by leather straps over thick cloth. Though its assembly appears complex, a seasoned warrior can don the protection with time to spare. When all else has failed, one relies on the steadfast defense provided by armor. "A Redoran wears heavy or medium armor depending on rank and strategy. A noble of House Redoran is expected to know how to repair and maintain his own armor." --- The True Noble's Code	A solid plate of ritually engraved bone laid over dark leather wrappings. Its Daedric runes signify the protection offered to Dunmer by the Tribunal, and the unwavering service that the mer provide in return. "By the Apotheosis, the Tribunal (Blessed Be Their Holy Names) became the Protectors and High Ancestor Spirits of the Dunmer, and bade the Daedra to give proper veneration and obedience." --- The Anticipations
4	Gauntlets	These clearly came from different sets of armor, though the blades riveted to your left knuckles are a nice touch. It does make scratching one's nose rather dangerous though.	Buckled together by leather clasps, these gauntlets smell strongly of brine and fish guts. Segmented fingers allow the wielder full control and articulation. “The Ruddy Man, of the eight monsters, was the least complicated. He made those who wore him into mighty killers and nothing more. He existed in the physical. Only geography makes him special.” — The Thirty-Six Lessons of Vivec, Sermon 29	These heavier gauntlets don't provide the dexterity required for the less than savory tasks undertaken by Morrowind's spies and assassins. Nevertheless, they will prevent the loss of fingers if an error is made in combat. "Tall feather-thin lake trees blocked much of his view of the straits, but an army, particularly one clad in slow-moving heavy armor could not move invisibly, silently." --- 2920, Midyear	Leather gloves with a shell of layered bone. They are practical and tough - attributes that one must find in themselves to survive the many battles of Vvardenfell. "Let us now guide the hands of the Hortator in war and its aftermath. For we go different, and in thunder. This is our destiny." --- The Thirty-Six Lessons of Vivec, Sermon 8
5	Boots	The rusted rivets of these thick iron sabotons groan with every step, but at least now kicking an angry scrib is no longer an existential gamble.	Stepping into these stiff boots, it's hard not to imagine the meat and wax that had to be scooped from these dreugh limbs. “When Vivec found him near the boy's village, anon Gnisis, there was a violent clash of arms and an upheaval of the earth. Their battle created the West Gash. Wanderers that go there hear still the sounds of it: sword across the crust, the grunt of God, the snapping of his monster child's splintered legs.” — The Thirty-Six Lessons of Vivec, Sermon 29	To the less honorable, this heavy steel footwear can double as a weapon once an opponent has been knocked to the ground. To those who still follow the old ways, however, the boots are simply an invaluable defense. "It was a cool morning in the forest, but there were no clouds. All the makings of a hot afternoon march, particularly in such heavy armor." --- 2920, Midyear	Hardy boots with molded plates of bone and shell, as useful against downward-sweeping blows as they are against the porous crags and fanged predators that dot Vvardenfell's volcanic landscape. "And Molag Bal crushed the warrior-poet's feet, which were not invulnerable, and had legions cleave them off. Mighty fires from the Beginning Place were brought like nets to hold Vivec and he let them." --- The Thirty-Six Lessons of Vivec, Sermon 12
6	Pauldrons	Chipped, cracked, and uneven to boot, but they may keep your head on your shoulders, and you can't deny you look imposing wearing them.	These pauldrons faintly resemble the fanning designs of a seashell and once protected a dreugh’s imposing shoulder muscles from spearpoints. “After his victory, Vivec took the shell of The Ruddy Man to the dreughs that had modified his mother. The Queen of Dreughs, whose name is not easy to spell, was in a period of self-incubation. Her wardens took the gift from Vivec and promised to guard it from the surface world. This is the first account of dreughs being liars.” — The Thirty-Six Lessons of Vivec, Sermon 29	Curved steel pauldrons that weave intricately with their cuirass, ensuring that the set of armor does not present gaps. On an average day in Vvardenfell, the pauldrons keep soot and dust from infiltrating the armor. On a bad day, they must repel steel. "After many battles, it was clear who would win the War. The Chimer had great skills in magick and bladery, but against the armored battalions of the Dwemer, clad in the finest shielding wrought by Jnaggo, there was little hope of their ever winning." --- Chimarvamidium	This unyielding set of pauldrons completes the bonemold armor's chitinous shell. Its sharp ridges reflect the ferocity of the creatures that once bore it, just as they reflect the bravery of the hunters who challenged them. "They not only learned how to move and stop quickly in bonemold, but how to adjust their peripheral vision to see a blow before it came, and to sway to dodge, and where the sturdiest reinforcement points on the arm were -- the center of the chest and the abdomen -- and how to position themselves to take blows there, against their natural instincts." --- Bone
7	Greaves	They may be barely hanging together, but they're still functional. At least their imposing weight ensures that your legs will look marvelous after a few weeks.	These layered greaves produce an unnatural cracking with each step as if protesting against their reanimation. “In ten years, The Ruddy Man appeared again, this time near Tear, worn by a wayward shaman who followed the House of Troubles. Instead of guarding it, the dreughs had imbued the living armor with mythic inflexibility. It molted soon after skill-draping the shaman and stretched his bones to the five corners.” — The Thirty-Six Lessons of Vivec, Sermon 29	Often overlooked by novice warriors, these greaves and chainmail skirt protect some of the most vital points while engaged in close-quarters combat. If one seeks not to die of slow infection or blood loss, full coverage is ideal. "He struck the Monster on each of its five vital points: head, groin, throat, back, and chest. Five blows to the five points and the Monster was slain." --- The Importance of Where	On occasion these greaves of sinew and bone will click as the wearer walks. Though harmless, this vestige of the armor's origin serves as a grim reminder that safety must sometimes be bought with sacrifice. "The next most prevalent stuff present in the stronghold was skinned dead bodies, hunks of muscle, fat, blood, and bone. For six hours, he toiled relentlessly until he produced eighteen suits of bonemold, the first ones ever created." --- Bone
8	Buckler Shield	Built with lightly armed combat in mind, this small iron shield honors equipment used in the gladiatorial arenas that once connected warriors from across the provinces of Tamriel.	Crafted from a dreugh's angled headplate, this shield is hard enough to parry a blade and sharp enough to deliver a stinging reminder of why the dreughs were once feared by lesser beings. "And the Hortator could see that Vivec was out of sorts, though not because of the impending new power to come. The golden warrior-poet had been exercising his Water Face as well, learned from the dreughs before he was born." --- The Thirty-Six Lessons of Vivec, Sermon 16	A versatile shield, as effective for halting incoming strikes as it is for pummeling careless foes into submission. Its small size and low weight enable the user to more easily swap weapons on the fly. "And when confrontation is unavoidable, it is best to fight quickly in comfortable, light armors with short blades, or to fight from a distance with a marksman’s weapons." --- Grasping Fortune	Popular among Dunmer due to its versatility and comparatively cheap cost to forge, this small bonemold shield is used by a wide variety of warriors and classes in Vvardenfell. It would not be unexpected to see these shields employed in duels of honor between nobles, nor in the offhand of a cutthroat on the road. "Thus we see that we must be alert not only to the obvious danger, but also to the subtle degrees by which change may result in danger." --- The Homilies of Blessed Almalexia
9	Standard Shield	A solid disk of iron and wood, often looked down upon by those who have never had to rely on it. For warriors who learn to properly use and maintain their equipment, even the simplest shield can be forged into a lifelong companion.	This shield is fashioned from a dreugh’s crusher claw that’s had its nerve cords scraped away. While it's yellowed in places, the claw still retains the muted orange color of its original owner. “When Vivec met the monster in battle again he saw the remains of three villages dripping from its feet. He took on his giant form and slew The Ruddy Man by way of the Symbolic Collage. Since he no longer trusted the Altmer of the sea, Vivec gave the carapace of the monster to the devout and loyal mystics of the Number Room. He told them: ‘You may make of The Ruddy Man a philosopher's armor.'” — The Thirty-Six Lessons of Vivec, Sermon 29	Heavier than those typically used by Dunmer warriors, this shield trades speed and maneuverability for a formidable defense. Of the Great Houses of Morrowind, only House Redoran has maintained the old custom of employing heavy arms and armor in open warfare. They have yet to discover whether their stubborn honor can overcome the mysticism of House Telvanni or the tenacity of House Hlaalu. "In the great wind of progress, tradition cannot stand." --- Grasping Fortune	More closely resembling a bottom-feeding aquatic crustacean than a means of defense, this layered bone shield is nonetheless capable of protecting one from the many hazards in the land of the Dunmer - except perhaps the Dunmer. "There is no bone that cannot be broken, except for the heart bone. You will see it twice in your lifetimes. Take what you can the first time and let us do the rest." --- The Thirty-Six Lessons of Vivec, Sermon 11
10	Tower Shield	An obscene rectangular slab of iron and wood that eschews any pretense of artistry for brute force defense. When conflict and hardship become ingrained in a society's teachings, they are inevitably reflected in its craftsmanship.	Hewn from the back of a fully grown dreugh, this shield is large enough to cover the entire frame of a shorter being. Sailors in Vivec tell stories of hunting dreugh on the open ocean. When emboldened by flin and brandy, some will speak of seeing the dim and ancient silhouettes of cities, standing resolutely against the darkness of deep sea. "Clockwork dreughs, mockeries of the Dwemeri war machines, rose up from the seas and took their counterparts back beneath, where they were swallowed forever by the sea." --- The Thirty-Six Lessons of Vivec, Sermon 36	Wielding this tower shield makes one into a veritable fortress against physical threats. It requires extensive conditioning to use effectively. To a strong and stubborn warrior, simple steel can become a means with which to challenge even the gods. "By Breath and Blood, protect us all!" --- The Book of Dawn and Dusk	A massive shield of bone plates, each riding over the next to maximize their collective strength. In keeping with ancient Dunmeri tradition, successive generations will integrate the bones of their ancestors into bonemold armor. It is unknown how many of the bones in this shield once belonged to mer. "Forge Darkness into Light." --- The Book of Dawn and Dusk
