Daedric Artifact

Of each of the seventeen Daedric Princes, sixteen have an artifact attributed to them in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, as Jyggalag has no presence or reason to be in Skyrim. Before these artifacts can be obtained, however, specific tasks called Daedric Quests must be performed. Two of these Daedric Quests involve the reward being a choice between two artifacts, one quest being the The Black Star and the other being Ill Met By Moonlight.

Artifacts

Azura's Star or The Black Star

This reusable soul gem is rewarded for completing The Black Star quest.
Azura's Star has the ability to trap white souls, or those of non-sentient creatures. These souls can be used for enchanting and for recharging previously-enchanted weapons.
The Black Star has the ability to trap black souls, or those of sentient beings, though it functions like a Black Soul Gem which traps all souls up to the Grand level, in it.

Dawnbreaker

This One-Handed sword is rewarded for completing The Break of Dawn quest.
Dawnbreaker sets enemies on fire, while also dealing more damage to undead like draugr and vampires and has a chance to make undead explode into blue flames upon death, which damages and causes nearby undead to flee, in the same sense as Bane of the Undead.

Ebony Blade

This Two-Handed sword is rewarded for completing The Whispering Door quest.
The Ebony Blade absorbs 10 points of health from enemies per hit, but can be upgraded only by slaying friendly characters (such as a person whose favor has been completed).
For every two such characters killed the weapon increases in power, adding two to the strength of the absorb health, up to the maximum of 30. Due to coding errors, it levels up two-handed, buts benefits from one-handed perks. This has been fixed with patch 1.9.

Either of these items is a potential reward for completing Ill Met By Moonlight quest, in a certain manner.

  • Increases Magic Resistance by 15%.
  • Increases Poison Resistance by 50%.
