- "For centuries the secret of making Elven armor was a closely guarded secret on Summerset Isle. Then the Betrayal of Ulvul Llaren brought it to the rest of Tamriel."
- ―Revus Sarvani, Light Armor Forging
Typically worn by Thalmor soldiers, Elven armor can be crafted, purchased, or found as random loot. It has the third lowest armor rating of the craftable light armor sets, after leather and hide. It is, however the lightest craftable armor and the second lightest overall being preceded only by the Ancient Shrouded Armor.

Trivia
Edit
- Elven Armor uses an eagle motif in its design. This is reference to the Altmer's chief deity, Auri-El.
- Many Nords, especially Stormcloaks, often laugh at the Dragonborn if wearing Elven Armor, saying, "Hah, Elven Armor eh? What's wrong with good old Nord Steel?"
