Bonemold Armor (Dragonborn)

Bonemold Armor is a set of heavy armor that appears in .
It is fashioned from actual bone that's been reinforced with a resin-like material and then shaped to form the armored plating. Although it may appear brittle, it is said to be comparable to iron or steel armors.Dialogue with Captain Veleth
It is primarily worn by Redoran guards patrolling Raven Rock, however it can also be crafted. The set comes in two variants, regular and improved, and, in addition, the set also includes two individual chest piece variants, which includes the Bonemold Pauldron Armor and the Bonemold Guard Armor.
==History==
The invention of Bonemold armor can be traced back to Dunmer folklore. Legend tells of a noble lord by the name of Arslic Oan. As a servant to the king, he was granted a castle and land for his service. Arslic built himself a walled stronghold and settled down with his slaves to enjoy a quiet life.Bone, Book I
Soon after, a tribe of cannibalistic Nords began attacking Arslic's slaves in the fields, and then slowly grew bolder, until they held the very stronghold itself under siege. After several failed attempts at sending his slaves to fetch water from a river, Arslic asked his armorer, Gorkith, to forge an armor sturdier than leather but lighter than metal. Bonemold armor was his answer and although seventeen of his slaves were killed and eaten in the subsequent attempt, one made it back with a jar of water.
