Ebony Sword is a one-handed sword that appears in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Design[]
The entire weapon seems to be made out of ebony, with the blade area having the thinnest amount, and the hilt with the thickest. The right side of the blade seems to have complex designs of lines and swirls. The left side does contain similar designs, though to a lesser extent. The hilt appears to have a large amount of ebony tied around to ensure a tight grip, with an area that contains more ebony on top, most likely for precision.
Locations[]
Unenchanted ebony swords will begin to appear throughout Skyrim at level 29, and enchanted swords can be found at level 37. These locations include:
Random locations[]
- Blacksmiths and general goods merchants.
- Found as random loot in chests, or as a world item throughout Skyrim.
- Wielded by various characters or enemies, mostly draugr deathlords and draugr death overlords at any Nordic Tombs scattered across Skyrim and Solstheim. Some of them spawn even at low levels and may wield any ebony weapon, mainly an ebony sword.
Fixed locations[]
- The draugr death overlord at the end of the Volskygge ruin always carries an ebony weapon, which could either be an Ebony sword or ebony war axe.
- At level 21, Olaf One-Eye will have an Ebony sword or Ebony War Axe.
- Dual-wielded by Tyra Blood-Fire. Creation Club
Smithing[]
The ebony sword requires a Smithing level of 80 and the Ebony Smithing perk to create. It is made at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:
- 1 x Leather Strip
- 2 x Ebony Ingots
It can be upgraded with an ebony ingot at a grindstone and also benefits from the Ebony Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.
