I agree...so I did. Hope you like it.

 

Hello Folks!    Years back during a heavy squall, a very large, ornate and strangely designed ship had been blown off-course, having its hull damaged near the location where the "Winter War" now lays. Strangely designed for it had no sails - or even masts for sails - and those on shore wondered how it was even capable of moving.

 

Several small boats rowed out to the ship to assist and as they got closer, the ship's captain yelled out, "We do not know this land and you will not be allowed to board! I and my crew have things under control, so go back to your homes!"  Well, Yurgan, an over-bearing brute of a man, would have no part of this - he wanted to see this odd-ball ship for himself - and began climbing up a ladder built right into the side of the ship's hull. When he got to the top, a loud "crack" rang out, along with a puff of white smoke. Yurgan's arms flew up to the sky and he froze solid as a board...then slowly, fell backwards into the water. Onlookers gasped! "By the Nines! What happened? What kind of magic was that? No one touched or was even close to Yurgan!"

 

While the ship's hull was being repaired, one man, a very well-to-do "black man" trader (a darker skinned individual, even more so than a Redguard) received permission to "load up" and take one of the ship's long boats into Windhelm. He explained to locals that he was from a land "half-a-world away" and while he'd seen most the world, he had never heard of this place, "Tamriel". Onlookers were amazed at some of the unusual wares he had for sale - items and materials they'd never seen before. For example, luxuriously soft, smooth fabrics than had the most beautiful sheen. They were known as "silks". Incredible furs with stripes or spots from odd, exotic animals, jewelry made with very unusual looking metals and gems. Most of the items were priced far beyond the ability of the locals to ever afford and the trader had few sales. This armor, however, is made up of several of those items.

 

The cuirass and gloves are made from a polished metal alloy "fabric" that is very strong and durable, yet quite thin, light and rather translucent. The odd part was that it could be stretched, yet returned back to its' original shape! That's right, it can could stretched! Have you ever heard of such a thing? A metallic "fabric" that can be stretched? And even more curious, it supposedly never rusted. Now that I'd like to see! Metal that doesn't rust? Those in Windhelm looked at it with amazement, feeling the unusual fabric and knew that this surpassed something even the Dwemer could create. The trader called it "mesh" and was very expensive even for a small bolt.

 

Another set of unusual items were the boots and pauldrons - they were made from some weird type of leather-like material. The trader explained that those items were made from the skin of a bird that couldn't fly, could reach heights of nearly 9 feet tall and could run faster than many of the best stallions. Ohhhhh... OK! A 9 foot tall bird! A bird that can't fly - and runs faster than a horse no less?  Uh huh...right...  Maybe in "Fantasy-land". I've been told that many thought the guy was hitting the Skooma just a wee bit too much, but he claimed he was absolutely serious and had seen one for himself.  Pffft... Typical, "blow-hard" salesman.

 

So due to the low sales, the trader departed after several hours and then the ship departed - never to return to the area. While this story has begun to turn into an "old wive's tale", the existence of the armor proves it's validity. And now your Dragonborn can acquire this armor - armor made from some very mysterious materials.

 

 

This light armor has an Ebony rating. You will only need steel, leather and leather strips to create the armor (which can be crafted at a forge), but you'll also need to have the Ebony smithing perk. Tempering requires ebony ingots.  Or use the  AddItemMenu  mod to get the armor right away.  The "HS" version file requires the Heels Sound  mod by ApoKrytia for the "clicky" shoes. Be sure to have that  already installed.  If you prefer not to use Heels Sound, select the  "NoHS"  file.

INSTALLATION & BODYSLIDE:  

Simply install my mod using your favorite mod manager. Once doing so, start up BodySlide and select "C5Kev's Mysterious Materials Armor UUNP (HS or NoHS)" from the "Group Filter" drop-down. Check the "Build Morphs" box and  click "Batch Build" to make your armor parts. That's about it.

Any problems or issues, just let me know...

 

Cuirass Mesh Note:  You may find that while sneaking, some of the cuirass' butt area seems to disappear and I don't know why. I do not make up the meshes, but when viewed in Outfit Studio, there is plenty of room "in the trunk" and the vertice locations are fine, so this shouldn't happen. Luckily the camera angle is such that one shouldn't notice it. NPC's could be a different story. Also, this is an old, low-poly mesh. Larger breasted character's may notice "under-boob" issues. Again, no reason for it. Looking at the side, there's plenty of "material", but while sneaking, the material "disappears". The texture does have a low alpha setting, so perhaps that has something to do with it. Just wanted all to know. Enjoy the armor and ignore whatever issues there are, try to fix it yourself or just don't use it.  That is all!

I like it a lot. Could be even better with an optional miniskirt.

[donttouchmethere]

Now that one totally fits my Barbarella pseudo SciFi-Fantasy mix up!

You overdid yourself with that ... with the.. I'm mean it's really tight at/in certain places ? = perfect fit! ?

Hello D.  Hmm...might not be a bad idea and I do like mini skirts. I guess I'll have to look into that...

Wow, a response from DTMT!  Must of struck a chord with this one, eh?  ?   I'm glad you like it!

You betcha! ?

Don't think I have any mod that is THAT thigh fitting without clipping.

I even blushed after equipping it on my PC the first time ?

That's Art!

 

(also the heels rock!)

You're too kind, thank you.

Your armor is even great for mesh ups!

 

Also interesting texture effect, is that on purpose?

It's getting better and better =D

Spoiler

Slightly transparent if not facing a light source (ELFX)

 

 

 

Totally transparent if facing a light source (ELFX)

 

 

BTW: did you just update something?

hey DTMT. Texture effect:  Not really, that always happens with items with less than 1.0 Alpha, that is, things that have transparency. I think some times it's too much, but a lot depends on one's ENB, lighting "systems", etc.  The Mysterious armor has a very low alpha.

 

Update?  Yes, Version 2 - added a skirt per member damaskos' idea above ^. I thought it was a good idea.

That's what makes it so mysterious! ?

AH!

To keep it mysterious you didn't add a "v2" to the mod name? ?

Yes yes I can do it myself *tsktsktsk* ?

 

A skirt ?

Well might have some advantages in town I guess, considering how tight the fit is

"...you didn't add a "v2" to the mod name?"  Yes, yes I did. Not to the file name, but...    I think the skirt looks nice with the outfit. Been wanting to use Lind's "Spellslinger Outfit" skirt for a while and this seemed like the perfect fit.  Maybe you'll like it.

Hello RZ.   ?   Yes and because it doesn't rust, it should stay that way for years to come.  Enjoy.  Oh, I just updated the mod by adding a skirt. Maybe you'll like it, so check it out.

[damaskos]

The diagonal shaped skirt suits it well. Nice job!

Hello D.  Glad you like it. I thought it went well with everything.
