Here are only a few of the various Western
and Eastern armor styles popular in Morrowind. The native
armors are presented first, in relative order of expense and
rarity, and then the Western styles. |
|
|
| |
Netch Leather
Most outlanders adopt the comfortable and affordable native
netch leather armor style when they come to Morrowind. The intrinsic
durability and flexibility of netch hide, combined with the
elaborate articulation of the Dunmer design and painstaking
craftsmanship, make netch armor far superior to the heavy, inelegant
leather armor styles of the West. |
|
 |
| |
Chitin
Made from laminated insect shell glued with organic resins,
chitin armor is also superior to any comparable Western light
armor designs. Chitin armor gives better protection, but is
lighter and more comfortable, than Western light leather and
reinforced leather armors. Here, as in most native style, a
scarf protects the neck and mouth from blowing sand and ash
while campaigning. |

Bonemold
Also known as 'Great House' armor in Morrowind, bonemold is
a medium weight armor affordable only by Dunmer nobles. Each
piece is assembled from many pieces of softened shell, molded
into shape, then bonded and reinforced with resin glues. The
example shown here features a distinctive House Redoran gah-julan
('great-benefit') helm with the protective cowl deployed for
ash wastes travel. |

Indoril
Indoril armor is the ornate heavy armor style worn by Ordinators,
a military order of knights in service of the Tribunal Temple.
Gold leaf details the pauldrons, bracers, and helm of this insect-shell
laminate armor. So many Ordinators come from House Indoril that
the armor style is known as 'Indoril' armor, though knights
of all Great Houses may serve as Ordinators. |
|
 |
| |
Glass
The Dunmer are the masters of light armor design, and the glass
armor is the pinnacle of that design. Inspired by traditional
High Elven ornate armors, this very expensive armor is studded
with native volcanic glass. Remarkably light and flexible, glass
armor absorbs and distributes shock better than steel. |
