House Dagoth armor?

Post by Master of marrowind »

Think about it, house dagoth did indeed have an army. Im sure they had their own suits of armor. I just came up with the idea, I don't know where to begin since im not a modder and don't understand the cs kit at all. But im guessing you could go to ghostgate in go inside. Talk to a certain person and they say something like "in one of the vaults something broke through the wall and inside is some kind of cave". So you go in the vault and an ordinator gives you a key if you have not already broke inside and in there is a dagoth and a dead ordinator.

Evidently this ordinator locked the door behind him. You kill the dagoth and go inside the cavern which expands down a long tunnel. It's real dark so you use a torch. You go inside and open a door, kill some house dagoth enemies. Maybe another dagoth, a few ash slaves and enter another room for a battle with a special dagoth that talks to you before fighting. He will start to blabber on that house dagoth is going to rise again and behind me is the last suit of ancient house dagoth armor. Forged for the armies of house dagoth, this suit was put behind and hidden as a artifact of house dagoth. You then fight and kill him and see a house dagoth shrine. All around it is a full suit of house dagoth armor. It could be light,medium, or heavy whatever you want it to be. And a full suit would be there, paldrons, helm, everything.

Now im not sure what it would look like. But I would have it some black and some red symbols on it like on the dagoth flags. But make the black completly pitch black and make it sort of spikey around the elbows, feet, and joints. To give it that kind of "evil" touch to it. You could have it with some constant effects. Like drain fatigue, and drain magika. But also constant + speed by 20 and +strength by 20. Some bad effects, but with some good effects. Sacrafices, one thing for the other. It can make you fast AND strong. But you lose fatigue and magika constantly. So what do you think?

We can't and won't touch Vvardenfell. and the 6th house is gone with the death of Dagoth Ur, we won't be bringing them back.

Besides great house dagoth was around before the times of bonemold and whatnot and wouldn't have their own style. and black and red with a spikey evil look does not fit the Dunmer/Chimer style and was already done with daedric.

Umm. Eraser, bonemold is pretty old also. I think Dunmer ivented bonemold armor a bit after they invented chitin. Actually it's made using almost the same technique.

I don't know about having Dagoth armor, per se, but a small necrom tomb, perhaps below a larger tomb, containing various dagoth flags and such would add extra depth...

But there are no records of either style being around at the time of the battle of red mountain.

It doesn't matter really, we won't be having dagoth armor.

Actually, I do remeber reading an account about the Chimer that left Narsis for Vvardenfell, some weilding bonemold bows, but I haven`t yet found the link.

I`ll go get it, K?

Couldn't agree more. House Dagoth used the same chitin as all other houses. Probably just had a House "logo" on it. That's all.

Ok, house dagoth did not actually die off completly. Even after you completed the main quest, there is still caves and some smaller house dagoth bases with dreamers and the like inside. There is abunch of house dagoth stuff too, like corprus meat, and shrines. It would be neat to have something new about house dagoth. Like a peace of paper, perhaps even on a dead dreamer that shows a bit of house dagoths history. You know so they won't alway's be such a mystery?

But in the Morrowind age, House Dagoth has ceased to be a Dunmer house and has become a collection of Ash Creatures. Who don't use armour. House Dagoth as read about, was the sixth Dunmer House, but when Dagoth and his lieutenants became Ash creatures, that ceased to be the case.
