I think the second mace you linked to might be the elven one. It has the feather motif going up the shaft of the weapon.

Well it's really hard to compare the sword and the glass mace. First the glass mace is a really bad picture (is there a better one out there?) And the one with the mace has a lot of yellow light from the fires, while the one with the sword has a lot of blue light from the snow. So I think the difference in the green hue could have a lot to do with the lighting in the two scenes.

The differences between the female in glass/elven armor and the confirmed elven armor we've seen can be pretty easily explained by the wearer obviously being female. All the images we've seen that we know to be elven are the male version of it, so what does the female version look like? We don't know, because we haven't seen anything that has been confirmed to be female elven armor, nor have we seen anything confirmed to be glass armor on either six. Now, certainly, the design looks different from the male elven armor, but some of the armor's in Oblivion had pretty different designs for the male and female versions too, so that doesn't prove anything, the overall style on the other hand seems similar, and the golden parts look like they could be the same material, not sure about the greenish parts, though, I can't see enough details to determine if they're supposed to be glass or metal, though the color looks similar to the sword that may or may not be a glass sword, but that doesn't really prove it's glass either way, because not every armor and weapon that has green parts is automatically glass, and exmining the details on it, I can't really tell if it's supposed to be glass or not. Though if it is, the design, at least, looks better than it was in Oblivion, and maybe even Morrowind, from a technical standpoint, it still isn't quite what I'd feel glass should be, but the shape of the items at least looks pretty nice. Still, we can only speculate as to what any of the armors or weapons we've seen are, except where it's been confirmed what they are.

"1. Here's the Elven armor concept art to corroborate what I've said about the mace and armor screens"

Why is that guy in the picture putting up his middlefinger? O.O

Take a look at the shoulders, knees, and the helmet. Completely different from the Elven. And I don't agree that other TES armors had any appreciable differences between male and female in design(other than overall bulk and briast plates).

Example: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/File:OB-item-Glass_Armor.jpg vs. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/File:OB-item-female-Glass_Armor.jpg

Okay, so I think we've come to the conclusion that these all go together as glass - http://www.elderscrolls.com/skyrim/media/screenshots/ice-wraiths/, http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4lrm97dBqNo/TTBUbM33FKI/AAAAAAAAAX0/-SE1Q1VIF0Q/s1600/skyrim_018.jpg, and http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4lrm97dBqNo/TUFlwb82vlI/AAAAAAAAAYs/J3KOH-Y0YDM/s1600/artofskyrim_008_elvenfemhalberd.jpg

There are some lingering questions, however.

1. Why the color variation in the Elven armor from screen to screen? Clearly it is designed to be golden, yet appears so different in the ice wraith screen. Just different lighting? Alternate armor colors? Or armor that changes color based on environment? (all "golden" Elven armor screens are indoors, but the one outside is very different)

2. Is http://www.elderscrolls.com/skyrim/media/screenshots/stealth-kill/ the new leather armor? Perhaps with an iron pauldron??

3. And does this http://www.elderscrolls.com/skyrim/media/conceptart/bear-encounter/ depict the new Fur armor? Or the new Steel helmet, Steel sword, and Steel 1h axe? Or is any of that simply clothing?

Feel free to speculate. I love this topic and I would like to see more people get interested in Skyrim's new designs for armor and weapons.

Not trying to be difficult but just because the blade vaugly looks glass doesn't make it glass.

I think it is elven for 2 reasons:

1: It almost exactly matches the shape of an elven longsword.

2: The hilt looks to be made out of the same metal as the armor.

The blade is not only a very similar faded green color to the glass in the armor, but it also has the same serrated pattern seen in the glass armor, but not in the elven armor.
In Morrowind the glass equipment was made out of "rare metals studded with glass." I don't think it's ever mentioned who exactly made the armor. What if the rare metals used in glass armor are the same rare metals used in elven armor. My current assumption: they are making the glass equipment to have a more elven look to it, because it was made by elves. There will still be a fully metal "elven armor/weapons" set, and a metal/glass "glass armor/weapons" set.

So we're already naming armor sets? Did you already play the game? how are the dragons? almost as good as the beards?

Real talk though, that female was wearing elven armor, it looks elven, it has many of the same designs that the male elven armor does, just because it has pieces on it that look vaguely glass in it you're willing to discount all the other things? Sounds reasonable to me. Its elven, i promise buddy.

"my assumption"

I don't think it's glass. It would be odd if there was glass armour where the majority of the surface was not made of glass. Perhaps they have some blended armours or something, or another type of Elven armour (didn't they say there was an armour for each race (or was that unsupported supposition)? Maybe one is Altmer and one is Bosmer or something.).

EDIT: Though it does have the same style as the obviously glass mace. I guess it must be glass armour. Weird design though, having most of it be gold.

stop posting on a video game forum, it will get you nowhere in this world. oh look at silly ol me, i'm being hypocritical. but hey, good shot trying to be a big man there
