Ancient Nord Armor

Ancient Nord Armor is a heavy armor set in .
A variant of the iron armor set, the Ancient Nord Armor has similar base attributes, albeit slightly lighter, and benefits from the Daedric Smithing perk. The set does not include a shield.
Relatively rare, it cannot be collected from draugr, or crafted under normal circumstances.
==Locations==
*Full sets may be found on dragon cultists in Forelhost during "Siege on the Dragon Cult."
*The ghost encountered at Kjenstag Ruins between 4:00 AM-8:00 PM may have a full set.
*All pieces, aside from the helmet, may be purchased from Aela the Huntress if married, but only after trading her stronger armor.
*Ancient Nord Boots, Chest and Gauntlets may be loot from Ascendant Necromancers if the Dragonborn's level is above eighty-one.
*Several Ancient Nord Boots and Helmets may be found in Forsaken Crypt.
*An Ancient Nord Helmet may be found in Ysgramor's Tomb.
*An Ancient Nord Helmet may be found in Valthume, adjacent to Valdar's throne.
*Ancient Nord Boots can be found atop North Shriekwind Bastion, adjacent an unlit brazier filled with an Ancient Nord War Axe and soul gems.
*Bashnag dons a chest piece in Southfringe Sanctum.
*Two helmets may be found in Labyrinthian's Tribune level.
**A unique version, Ancient Helmet of the Unburned, is behind a closed gate with iron-floored fireplace. The second is behind Morokei, adjacent the large urn.
==Smithing==
The set may only be forged at the Skyforge once the Companions' main questline has been completed and Eorlund Gray-Mane has been spoken to about the forge.
The armor is displayed in the Daedric section of the crafting menu. Its requirement, the Daedric Smithing perk, doubles the improvement level on it. All pieces may be upgraded with an Iron Ingot at a workbench.

==Trivia==
*The armor set is worn by Hakon One-Eye, several other Heroes of Sovngarde, and Aela the Huntress.
*Like other armor types, Hold Guards will often comment about the armor, stating that it "stinks of death," and ask if the Dragonborn was grave robbing.
*One of the first screenshots for Skyrim displayed a Khajiit in front of a Shrine of Talos wearing the armor.http://cdnstatic.bethsoft.com/akqacms/files/tes/screenshots/KhajiitTemple.jpg
*Draugr wear many variations of Ancient Nord Armor.
**A Draugr Scourge wears the original helmet, and a Draugr Deathlord wears a helmet that shares the appearance of the Helm of Yngol.
==Bugs==
* A graphical issue exists with the "skirt" of the chest piece, on the back of the character's left leg when moving or sprinting. It is more prominent on heftier male characters.
**This is also present on the female model, around the right shoulder.
* The helmet might not appear on a mannequin.
* The armbands are missing in the male first-person.
* May disappear on a mannequin.
* There are spots on the armor that are missing texturing, easily seen on a follower; on the upper arms, there are a couple small triangles where one can see through their body to scenery beyond.
