Tamrielic Artifacts , Part 2 Content . The following are notes gathered , over the past centuries , on 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 . 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 . 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 . 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 Mehrunes ' Razor . However , the Dark Brotherhood was once decimated by a vicious internal power struggle . It is suspected that the Razor was involved . The Mentor ' s Ring . This simple metal band is a prized possession for any apprentice to magic . 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 since circulated throughout Tamriel . Ring of Khajiit . The Ring of the Khajiit 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 . 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 , discontented to stay anywhere but with Phynaster himself . 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 . 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 .
