So, my loading screen has recently been showing me something new. A dwemer warhammer called Volthrung or something like that. It seems to be a unique dwemer creation. I want it! Is it in Skyrim? Can I get it? If so, where? Thanks for any info.

I think what you are looking for is this http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Volendrung_%28Skyrim%29 , that name you tiped doesnt exist

Well, crap. I already got that then. It didn't look nearly as cool, plus I was told to leave it on the alter.

I've seen the screen with the elven warhammer too. I think it's just a picture of a generic elven warhammer though. Need CK to confirm. But I'm pretty sure all artifacts in Skyrim are Daedric, with few leveled items that either surpasses or are just as good.

Volendrung is Daedric and can be gotten from a quest for the Orcs... the wiki link from our friend above is accurate... mmmmm... stam from a hammer the size of a buick... mmmm... yum. Swings as fast as a sword. yeah. very tasty.

Anyone knows why this warhammer is upgradable with Ebony, but even with Ebony Smithing perk, I can not upgrade it over flawless ? (when I can make Legendary Ebony weapons) ?

it's a Daedric weapon, so you need the Daedric Perk.

Most of the unique items given out by the daedric are not governed by the smithing perks. So you have to have 100 skill + smithing gear and a smithing potion to bump your effective skill up high enough to make them legendary.

I have that perk too.



Ok, that must be it, thanks. As the perks I dont have are on the light armor side, and I dont see why this hammer would be elven / glass
