- "Legend has it that Hircine rewarded his peeled hide to the first and only mortal to have ever escaped his hunting grounds. This unknown mortal had the hide tailored into this magical Cuirass for his future adventures. The Savior's Hide has a tendency to travel from hero to hero as though it has a mind of its own."
- ―Yagrum Bagarn[src]
The Cuirass of the Savior's Hide is a piece of armor created by the Daedric Prince Hircine. Appearing in various other The Elder Scrolls titles, it returns to The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, where it gives a significant resistance to magic. Wearing it bolsters the light armor skill when struck.
Acquisition
It resides in a high level locked cupboard in the Hall of Fyr in Tel Fyr, and the key sits at the end of an undocumented quest, a long string of keys and locked cupboards which also lead to a Daedric Crescent, a plethora of Dwemer artifacts, and another Daedric Artifact.
