The armor's horrible... It's got that "black knight" feel to it. Nothing real special. But I'm on the other end when it comes to the ebony sword... If anything They're the shape that Elven swords SHOULD have been. Perhaps the two should switch.
Ebony has always had that black knight feel to it, and that's why it's awesome! Don't get me wrong, I love how TES has the races influence the design of their armor, but Ebony is as close as TES gets to knightly armor. And if my name doesn't betray me, I have a thing for knights. The steel plate comes close, but it's just so... bland. The black ebony armor with the soft gold trim ... I just don't understand how someone could hate it. It's everything high end knight armor should be, and it comes in any color you want! ... as long as it's black. And then the Ebony mail!
The swords however look off to me, like its center of balance would render the thing ineffective as a weapon.
