Tamrielic Lore Tamrielic Lore is a book written by Yagrum Bagarn , the last Dwemer in Tamriel and Nirn . The book is a large list and description of artifacts that Yagrum Bagarn has heard of over the years throughout his life . The book appears in and , being absent for the first time in . Also appears in , but titled " Tamrielic Artifacts " , splitted into three parts . Artifacts are listed in alphabetical order . Content . The following are notes I have gathered , over the past centuries , of items of unimaginable significance . All have been seen , owned , and lost , again and again throughout Tamriel . Some may be myth , others may be hoax , but regardless , many have lost their lives attempting to find or protect these very coveted items . Lord ' s Mail . Sometimes called the Armor of Morihaus or the gift of Kynareth , this is an ancient cuirass of unsurpassable quality . It grants the wearer power to absorb health , resist the effects of spells , and cure oneself of poison when used . It is said that whenever Kynareth deigns the wearer unworthy , the Lord ' s Mail will be taken away and hidden for the next chosen one . Ebony Mail . The Ebony Mail is a breastplate created before recorded history by the Dark Elven goddess Boethiah . It is she who determines who should possess the Ebony Mail and for how long a time . If judged worthy , its power grants the wearer added resistance of fire , magicka , and grants a magical shield . It is Boethiah alone who determines when a person is ineligible to bear the Ebony Mail any longer , and the goddess can be very capricious . Spell Breaker . Spell Breaker , superficially a Dwemer tower shield , is one of the most ancient relics of Tamriel . Aside from its historical importance in the Battle of Rourken - Shalidor , the Spell Breaker protects its wielder almost completely from any spell caster , either by reflecting magicks or silencing any mage about to cast a spell . It is said that Spell Breaker still searches for its original owner , and will not remain the property of anyone else for long . For most , possessing Spell Breaker for any length of time is power enough . Chrysamere . The Paladin ' s Blade is an ancient claymore with offensive capabilities surpassed only by its own defenses . It lends the wielder health , protects him or her from fire , and reflects any spells cast against the wielder back to the caster . Seldom has Chrysamere been wielded by any bladesman for any length of time , for it chooses not to favor one champion . Staff of Magnus . The Staff of Magnus , one of the elder artifacts of Tamriel , was a metaphysical battery of sorts for its creator , Magnus . When used , it absorbs an enemy ' s health and mystical energy . In time , the Staff will abandon the mage who wields it before he becomes too powerful and upsets the mystical balance it is sworn to protect . Warlock ' s Ring . The Warlock ' s Ring of the Arch - Mage Syrabane is one of the most popular relics of myth and fable . In Tamriel ' s ancient history , Syrabane saved all of the continent by judicious use of his Ring , and ever since , it has helped adventurers with less lofty goals . It is best known for its ability to reflect spells cast at its wearer and to improve his or her speed and to restore health . No adventurer can wear the Warlock ' s Ring for long , for it is said that the Ring is Syrabane ' s alone to command . Ring of Phynaster . The Ring of Phynaster was made hundreds of years ago by a man who needed good defenses to survive his adventurous life . Thanks to the Ring , Phynaster lived for hundreds of years , and since then it has passed from person to person . The Ring improves its wearer ' s overall resistance to poison , magicka , and shock . Still , Phynaster was cunning and cursed the ring so that it eventually disappears from its holder ' s possessions and returns to another resting place , discontent to stay anywhere but with Phynaster himself . Ring of Khajiiti . The Ring of Khajiiti is an ancient relic , hundreds of years older than Rajhin , the thief that made the Ring famous . It was Rajhin who used the Ring ' s powers to make himself invisible and as quick as the breath of wind . Using the Ring , he became the most successful burglar in Elsweyr ' s history . Rajhin ' s eventual fate is a mystery , but according to legend , the Ring rebelled against such constant use and disappeared , leaving Rajhin helpless before his enemies . Mace of Molag Bal . Also known as the Vampire ' s Mace , the Mace of Molag Bal drains its victims of magicka and gives it to the bearer . It also has the ability to transfer an enemy ' s strength to its wielder . Molag Bal has been quite free with his artifact . There are many legends about the Mace . It seems to be a favorite for vanquishing wizards . Masque of Clavicus Vile . Ever the vain one , Clavicus Vile made a masque suited to his own personality . The bearer of the Masque is more likely to get a positive response from the people of Tamriel . The higher his Personality , the larger the bonus . The best known story of the Masque tells the tale of Avalea , a noblewoman of some renown . As a young girl , she was grossly disfigured by a spiteful servant . Avalea made a dark deal with Clavicus Vile and received the Masque in return . Though the Masque did not change her looks , suddenly she had the respect and admiration of everyone . A year and a day after her marriage to a well connected baron , Clavicus Vile reclaimed the Masque . Although pregnant with his child , Avalea was banished from the Baron ' s household . Twenty one years and one day later , Avalea ' s daughter claimed her vengeance by slaying the Baron . Mehrunes Razor . The Dark Brotherhood has coveted this ebony dagger for generations . This mythical artifact is capable of slaying any creature instantly . History does not record any bearers of Mehrune ' s Razor . However , the Dark Brotherhood was once decimated by a vicious internal power struggle . It is suspected that the Razor was involved . Cuirass of the Saviour ' s Hide . Another of Hircine ' s artifacts was the Cuirass of the Savior ' s Hide . The Cuirass has the special ability to resist magicka . Legend has it that Hircine rewarded his peeled hide to the first and only mortal to have ever escaped his hunting grounds . This unknown mortal had the hide tailored into this magical Cuirass for his future adventures . The Savior ' s Hide has a tendency to travel from hero to hero as though it has a mind of its own . Spear of Bitter Mercy . One of the more mysterious artifacts is the Spear of Bitter Mercy . Little to nothing is known about the Spear . There are no recorded histories but many believe it to be of Daedric origin . The only known legend about it is its use by a mighty hero during the fall of the Battlespire . The hero was aided by the Spear in the defeat of Mehrunes Dagon and the recapturing of the Battlespire . Since that time , the Spear of Bitter Mercy has made few appearances within Tamriel . Daedric Scourge . The Daedric Scourge is a mighty mace forged from sacred ebony in the Fires of Fickledire . The legendary weapon of Mackkan , it was once a fierce weapon used to send spirits of black back into Oblivion . The weapon has the ability to summon creatures from Oblivion , Once a tool used against the Daedric Lords in the Battlespire , it now roams the land with adventurers . Bow of Shadows . Legend has it that the Bow of Shadows was forged by the Daedra Nocturnal . The legendary ranger , Raerlas Ghile , was granted the Bow for a secret mission that failed , and the Bow was lost . Raerlas did not go down without a hearty fight and is said to have , with the aid of the Bow , taken scores of his foes with him . The Bow grants the user the ability of invisibility and increased speed . Many sightings of the Bow of Shadows have been reported , and it is even said that the sinister Dark Elf assassin of the Second Era , Dram , once wielded this bow . Fists of Randagulf . Randagulf of Clan Begalin goes down in Tamrielic history as one of the mightiest warriors from Skyrim . He was known for his courage and ferocity in battle and was a factor in many battles . He finally met his fate when King Harald conquered Skyrim . King Harald respected this great hero and took Randagulf ' s gauntlets for his own . After King Harald died , the gauntlets disappeared . The King claimed that the Fists granted the bearer added strength . Ice Blade of the Monarch . The Ice Blade of the Monarch is truly one of Tamriel ' s most prized artifacts . Legend has it that the Evil Archmage Almion Celmo enchanted the claymore of a great warrior with the soul of a Frost Monarch , a stronger form of the more common Frost Atronach . The warrior , Thurgnarr Assi , was to play a part in the assassination of a great king in a far off land , and become the new leader . The assassination failed and the Archmage was imprisoned . The Ice Blade freezes all who feel its blade . The Blade circulates from owner to owner , never settling in one place for long . Ring of Surroundings . Little is known of this prize but it is said that it lends the wearer the ability to blend in with their surroundings . Boots of the Apostle . The Boots of the Apostle are a true mystery .

It lends the wearer the ability to increase their Intelligence and Wisdom , thus making their use of magic more efficient . The High Wizard Carni Asron is said to be the creator of the Ring . It was a construct for his young apprentices while studying under his guidance . After Asron ' s death , the Ring and several other possessions vanished and have been circulated throughout Tamriel . Ring of the Wind . No facts are known about this Ring , but the title and the few rumors lend one to think it grants the wearer added speed . Vampiric Ring . One of the more deadly and rare artifacts in Tamriel is the Vampiric Ring . It is said that the Ring has the power to steal its victim ' s health and grant it to the wearer . The exact nature and origin of the Ring is wholly unknown , but many elders speak of its evil creation in Morrowind long , long ago by a cult of Vampire followers . The Vampiric Ring is an extremely rare artifact and is only seen every few hundred cycles of the moons . Eleidon ' s Ward . Eleidon was a holy knight of legend in Breton history . He was a sought after man for his courage and determination to set all wrongs right . In one story , it is said that he rescued a Baron ' s daughter from sure death at the hands of an evil warlord . For his reward , the Baron spent all of his riches to have an enchanted shield built for Eidelon . The Shield granted Eleidon the opportunity to heal his wounds . Staff of Hasedoki . Hasedoki was said to have been a very competitive wizard . He wandered the land in search for a wizard who was greater than he . To the best of all knowledge , he never found a wizard who could meet up to his challenge . It is said that he felt so lonely and isolated because so many feared his power , that he bonded his life - force into his very own staff , where his soul remains to this very day . Magic users all over Tamriel have been searching for this magical staff . Granting its wielder a protection of magicka , it is a sure prize for any magic user . Bloodworm Helm . The King of Worms was said to have left behind one of his prized possessions , the Bloodworm Helm . The Helm is a construct of magically formed bone . The Helm allows the user to summon skeletons and control the undead . It would be a prized artifact to a necromancer . Dragonbone Mail . This cuirass is one of the greatest artifacts any collector or hero could own . It is constructed of real dragon bone and was enchanted by the first Imperial Battlemage , Zurin Arctus , in the early years of the Third Era . It is a truly exquisite piece of work and many have sought to possess it . The properties of the Cuirass allow the wearer to be resist fire , and to damage an enemy with a blast of fire . Little is known about the involvement of Zurin Arctus with the enchantment of the Cuirass , but an old tale speaks of a debt that he owed to a traveling warrior . Like the warrior , the Dragonbone Mail never stays put for long . Skull Crusher . The Skull Crusher is an amazingly large , and powerful weapon . The Warhammer was created in a fire , magically fueled by the Wizard , Dorach Gusal , and was forged by the great weaponsmith , Hilbongard Rolamus . The steel is magically hardened and the weight of the weapon is amazingly light , which makes for more powerful swings and deadly blows . The Warhammer was to be put on display for a festival , but thieves got it first . The Skull Crusher still travels Tamriel in search of its creators . Goldbrand . This magical Sword is almost a complete mystery . Thieves tell tales about its golden make and how it was actually forged by ancient Dragons of the North .

Goldbrand has not been sighted in recent history and is said to be awaiting a worthy hero . Fang of Haynekhtnamet . Black Marsh was once known to be inhabited with what the Argonian s called the Wamasus . Northern men considered them to be intelligent dragons with lightning for blood . One such mighty beast , Haynekhtnamet , was slain by the Northern men , though it took 7 days and nights , and a score of men . One of the surviving men took a fang home as a trophy . The fang was carved down into a blade and fashioned into a small dagger . The Dagger mysteriously houses some of the beast ' s magical properties and grants the user the ability to do shock damage on an opponent . This unique Dagger is seen occasionally by traveling heroes . Umbra Sword . The Umbra Sword was enchanted by the ancient witch Naenra Waerr , and its sole purpose was the entrapment of souls . Used in conjunction with a soul gem , the Sword allows the wielder the opportunity to imprison an enemy ' s soul in the gem .
