Default Re: Elder Scrolls Conversion to GURPS 4e (Help Please!)

A number of these look like special effects laid onto existing items or quality markers. Here are some stabs at specifics:

Hmmm...possibly equivalent to steel laminate armor from Basic?

Dunno. Similar to Fine quality but limited to cutting weapons?

Dead-on match for dwarven armor (DF 1)

How does it perform? Possibly dragonbone from DF8, differing in specifics but with the same armor effect.

Similar in effect to Fine.

Ebony Weapons and Armor: Ebony weapons and armor are created from a rare form of volcanic glass buried in the lava flows from Vvardenfell's Red Mountain. The items are so-named because of their opaque black, glassy surface.
Glass weapons from DF8.

Often mistaken for its similar counterparts in the Dremora sets, Daedric armor is often known to bear a curse; or have a daedra spirit forged into its unholy plates.
Quite possibly enchanted, in GURPS terms.
