Ancient Nord Weapons are weapons that date back to the Merethic and First Eras. The were typically buried with their owners in Nordic Tombs throughout Skyrim.

Smithing

Ancient Nord Weapons cannot be created, but can be upgraded with a Steel Ingot. Ancient Nord Weapons benefit from the Steel Smithing perk and the Honed variants benefit from the Dwarven Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.

Ancient Nord Weapons can also be forged into Nord Hero Weapons at the Skyforge after completing The Companions' questline and asking Eorlund Gray-Mane about the Skyforge.
