Velar's Garments

 are a set of enchanted Heavy Armor worn by the Sorcerer Velar Veleth. The Garments and Boots pieces share the same stats with Ebony Armor. The set lacks gauntlets and a shield.

Background
Velar's Garments appear to be armored red robes, with additional Ebony plates and pauldrons. The set has a cowl instead of a helmet, and may benefit heavily armored mages, as it provides decent protection and is enchanted.

The enchantments, however, are suitable for traveling around Velar Ceysel and may partially be useless outside the plane.

The set is said to be a gift to Velar from Hermaeus Mora, hidden within Velar Ceysel. Three Eldritch Tomes provide clues to each piece's whereabouts.

Smithing
Velar's Garments can be improved using Ebony Ingots. The smith must be knowledgeable about improving enchanted items.

The Garments' unique feature is an option to temper the set with additional samples of Void Salts. This is not necessary in order to improve it, but yields additional effects. The number of samples does not affect the enchantments, with the exception of boots.
