Ebony Mail
Ebony Mail is an artifact created by the Daedric Prince Boethiah. It can be obtained by looting the remains of the Champion of Boethiah after defeating him and his bandits during the quest "Boethiah's Calling." Ebony Mail is a piece of Heavy Armor that can be upgraded at a workbench using an Ebony Ingot as long as the player has the "Arcane Blacksmithing" perk, which allows enchanted items to be upgraded. The enchantment on the armor is a combination of the Muffle and Poison effects. The muffle effect allows the player to move more quietly, and the Poison effect makes opponents take 5 poison damage per second when they get too close.
The "Boethiah's Calling" quest is obtained by reading the book "Boethiah's Proving," which can only be found randomly at level 24 or at Septimus Signus's Outpost, Abandoned House, Hob's Fall Cave, Fellglow Keep, or on any Boethiah Cultist at level 30. After reading the book, you must speak to Priestess of Boethiah at Sacellum of Boethiah, who will say you need to sacrifice a follower to prove that "your tongue can wield a lie." Once done, Boethiah will appear and instruct you to kill her old Champion and all of the bandits at Knifepoint Ridge. You can then loot Ebony Mail from the old Champion to complete the quest and obtain the Ebony Mail.
