Morrowind:Imperial (style)
< Morrowind: Items: Materials and Styles(Redirected from Morrowind:Imperial Chain Armor)Imperial armor is composed of a variety of armor styles which are decorative versions of the common Legion veteran's heavy infantry armor. This type of armor is used mostly by the Imperial Legion. The most basic version of Imperial Armor is chain is worn over leather padding, with steel greaves, pauldron, cuirass, and helm.
If you are a member of the Legion, you will need to be wearing a Uniform in order to speak to any fellow members of the Legion of higher rank than yours. The Cuirass is the only part of the armor needed for this, and only 5 Cuirasses qualify:
- Imperial Chain Cuirass
- Imperial Steel Cuirass
- Imperial Templar Knight Cuirass
- Duke's Guard Silver Cuirass
- Lord's Mail (unique artifact)
While other Cuirasses may be labeled as "Imperial", they will not be accepted as Uniforms in the game.
Only two weapons exist in the "Imperial" style, though the Imperial Legion does not by any means restrict themselves to just these weapons. Of the two, the Imperial Broadsword is identical to the Steel Broadsword in appearance, though slightly inferior in terms of damage.
ArmorEdit
The various styles of Imperial armor are:
- Heavy Armor
- Imperial Steel Armor: This heavy armor is the most commonly worn by Imperial Legion officers, and the only type for which a complete set exists. The cuirass may be used as a Legion uniform.
- Imperial Silver Armor: This heavy armor is superior to Imperial Steel in terms of protection, but it does not count as a Legion uniform.
- Duke's Guard Silver Armor: This heavy cuirass is worn only by the Duke's personal guards, though one can also be purchased. It can be used as a Legion uniform, and is second only to the Lord's Mail in terms of protection for Legion uniforms.
- Imperial Templar Armor: This rare armor is found worn by several members of the Legion, but the easiest way to acquire it is to perform quests for General Darius in Gnisis. It is superior to most of the other Imperial Armors in terms of protection (though it is surpassed by Dragonscale and some Chain parts, as well as the Lord's Mail, of course), and the cuirass may be used as a Legion uniform.
- Medium Armor
- Imperial Chain Armor: This is the most basic of the Imperial Armors. It is mostly medium weight, though the pauldrons are heavy, and there are no boots or gauntlets of this type, so you will have to use Imperial Steel. It is the only non-heavy armor which can be used as a Legion uniform.
- Imperial Dragonscale Armor: Only the helm, cuirass and shield exist for this medium armor. The cuirass does not count as a Legion uniform, though both pieces offer nearly double the protection of Imperial Chain armor.
- Light Armor
- Imperial Newtscale Armor: This somewhat rare light cuirass is worn by a few in the legion, but it does not count as a Legion uniform.
- Imperial Studded Leather Armor: Another less-common light armor that is worn by some members of the Legion, but also does not count as a Legion uniform.
