Nightingale Hood

Nightingale Hood is a piece of unique light armor and part of the Nightingale Armor set found in .
==Acquisition==
This piece, along with the rest of the set, is given by Karliah before performing the initiation ritual of the Nightingales during the quest "Trinity Restored." All pieces are obtained when activating the Armor Stone, emblazoned with the Nightingales symbol, inside Nightingale Hall.
==Enchantment==
The piece bears an enchantment, the magnitude of which is dependent on character level. Three tiers are available and the item with the strongest enchantment can be obtained after level 32. The character level when the quest "Trinity Restored" is started determines which tier will be granted.
Wearing this piece of armor grants the following bonuses:
*Fortify Illusion, x points
==Smithing==
The armor can be upgraded at a workbench with Void Salts and the Arcane Blacksmith perk, however it does not benefit from any Smithing perks.
This means it cannot be improved past flawless quality without boosting the Smithing skill over 100. This can be achieved by using enchanted items and/or blacksmithing potions to fortify Smithing.

==Trivia==
*When using the Slow Time shout, the eyeslit of the mask will stay dark, instead of gaining a light blue tint.
*Unlike with other masked hoods, the mask shows up on Khajiit and Argonians.
==Bugs==
*The hood will turn a white/light gray (This is most likely the same bug that causes Dawnbreaker or any enchanting table to glow and it will almost definitely revert to its normal color given enough time).
**This can be fixed by putting the hood on a mannequin in a house, leaving the house, then re-entering the house and taking it off the mannequin and re-equipping it.
**Another solution may be to save the game then reload it.
**A third solution would be to drop it, then pick it up again and equipping it.
**Another solution is to enter a new area, or wait a couple of minutes. This does not always work.
**Restarting your system also works, this allows the texture to be re-applied (confirmed on PS3).
*Khajiit and Argonian faces may be trimmed down to look like normal human head models.
*When worn, if another hood is equipped already then both will be equipped, such as a Shrouded Cowl and Ancient Shrouded Cowl.
*If the Dragonborn has been blooded as a vampire with the Dawnguard expansion, the glowing pinpricks in the eyeslits can become huge when viewed from certain angles, encompassing and spilling out of the player's eye sockets.
