Nordic Plate Armor - Daedric translation?

Post » Sun Jan 19, 2014 9:31 pm

I was working on a texture based on the steel plate from Skyrim, when I noticed Daedric writing on one of the medallions on the belt. Can anybody translate this? I tried but the pixellation makes it difficult to determine the actual letters and I gave up after arriving at "PORM??AYE".

Looks somewhat like SH to me but it's hard to see what the second one is.

Can't make it out. Some letters are too distorted. The 3 letters from the E at the end are tough. I think the first letter is L rather than P though.

It's around a coiled snake.. not sure if that's any clue though.

It looks to me like it's supposed to be either CP or MP in that really distorted part.

Looking at the picture of steel plate armor on UESP, I see that two of the medallions have Daedric inscriptions. Have you determined if the writing is the same on both of them? I've never noticed this before, and I don't know enough about technology to look at it closely myself (plus I don't play Skyrim on my computer, so I can't go to the source).
