Dwarven Armor (Skyrim)

Dwarven Armor is a heavy armor set in . Ancient, bronze-gold armor, it once belonged to the lost race known as the Dwemer, also called the dwarves.
==Locations==
Unenchanted pieces of armor will begin to appear throughout Skyrim at level 12 and enchanted variants can be found at level 13. These locations include:
*Blacksmiths and general goods merchants.
*Found as random loot in chests or as a world item.
===Fixed locations===
*Nchuand-Zel – a full set of Dwarven armor is behind an expert locked gate in the Nchuand-Zel Armory.
*Mzinchaleft Gatehouse – a helmet, shield, and boots are on two tables on the top floor on both sides of the room where the Dwarven Centurion Guardian resides.
==Smithing==
Dwarven Armor requires a Smithing level of 30 and the Dwarven Smithing perk to create. Pieces can be forged at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:

Pieces can be upgraded with a Dwarven metal ingot at a workbench and also benefit from the Dwarven Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.

The quest "Unfathomable Depths" rewards the Dragonborn with a permanent effect called Ancient Knowledge.

==Trivia==
*When approaching a guard, they may compliment the armor: "Fine armor you've got there. Dwarven make, am I right?"
*Calcelmo, a scholar in Understone Keep, has a particular interest in many of the rare Dwarven items, and will sometimes ask the Dragonborn to bring him any pieces of dwarven armor if found.
*The facial expression on the helmet is dependent on the gender. If a male were to wear it, the facial expression would be in a grimace, whereas when a female wears it, the helmet appears to be in a smile.
