Daedric Armor...What makes it special? : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

What in The Daedra Heart makes it become one of the most powerful Armors in the world??
How is it different from Ebony??
This isn't gameplay and mechanics wise.

Your imbuing a dremora SOUL into the armor.

Well, by using a daedric heart, you "bind the essence" of the Daedra into the gear you make.
I always viewed it as a sort of enchantment applied to the ebony, but in a way that alters the material itself, rather than giving it magical properties.
Kind of Daemon Weapons in Warhammer 40K I guess, if you know what I'm talking about...

The fact that Daedric armor is just ebony armor with the heart of a Daedra means that the armor is actually imbued with the essence of a Daedra, which makes it that much more powerful. The book "Heavy Armor Repair" details the strange properties of Daedric armor.

Daedric should always be worked on at night... ideally under a new or full moon, and never during and [sic] eclipse. A red harvest moon is best.

Also, keep in mind that ebony is the blood of Lorkhan. Daedric armor is essentially a combination of Aedra and Daedra. A damn powerful combination.
