#wolf armour

[3-minit-noodles]

So, I know the vote is being boycotted or whatever but PLEASE.. I BEG.. vote for the armadillo. That means WOLF ARMOUR people! Plus, we are in need of some hot climate animals. Not only would these armadillos would be so dang cute but personally I have 1 wolf i bring over to every world and I’d like to protect her better. This also opens up the opportunity for other types of wolf armour, making it similar to horse armour, though that’s just a possibility.

Please vote armadillos

Why I think atmora and akavir were geographically close, or a study on wolf and blades armour in Skyrim.

This is long and I’m no blacksmith I just really like learning about blacksmithing and have some thoughts.

So here we can see the similarity in construction, the sloped head piece and the splayed neck. The shaping especially tells me that they would have used similar, if not the same, techniques to draw out the metal. However there are key differences, the blades helmet having a more rounded shape says something about their advanced techniques. This could also be a tell of having only one smith working on each piece of armour, eorland greymane is the only person who sells it, it would make sense if it could only be crafted at the skyforge.

Onto the armour itself, there are even bigger differences.

The obvious is the segmented panels. The blades armour is likely heavily interchangeable. Taking a hit is expected, and having segments be replaceable is cheaper than replacing the whole set of armour. It also leads into how the blades are espionage, wearing only certain sections under clothing to protect them and keep them inconspicuous. Wolf armour has more outright protection, the pauldrons are much larger. The weapons of the companions are bulky, Wuuthrad being a war-hammer.

The similarities are easy to spot though. Around the waist they both have some form of fauld, with both having an ornamental belt. The chest armour is in a similar number of pieces, the more protective wolf armour having less manoeuvrability. Both have some form of thigh protection, and have a piece around the neck.

Onto the last parts of the armour. The boots share similarities, with that central line continuing on both, with some form of armour on the toe. The gauntlets do differ, but they share a similar plate on the back of the hand.

Something interesting; wolf armour is only found in one other game-morrowind. Precisely bloodmoon, which takes place on solstheim. But it’s light armour, not heavy, suggesting an adaptation. Perhaps the concept of wolf armour was made back in atmora, with the Skaal needing light armour to hunt where the companions needed heavy armour to genocide elves.

Tell me if you liked this and I could perhaps do more studies on armour in TES

”I should have noticed from the start how powerful in spell-casting Solas really was. Even at the beginning of our adventure. The thought that he deliberately was not showing the extent of his power has never crossed my mind. Until now..”

I can't hear the difference between "Wolf Armour" and "Wool Farmer".
