Watch a Skyrim Dragonborn Helmet Being Forged

Man at Arms: Reforged has journeyed into the fantasy world of Skyrim to forge a real world Dragonborn helmet. Even though they mostly forge weapons, a true smith does armor as well – and Baltimore Knife and Sword does just that. It’s not all about attacking after all. You have to protect your body parts too.

To demonstrate its effectiveness in combat they sliced a watermelon with a sword, and then tried to slice the helmet to show that it is a functional piece of armor. All it did was wreck the sword. Really wreck the sword.

The guy wearing it would live, although he would have a hell of a headache. Better then having your head slashed for sure. I would go into combat with this helmet myself, but I took an arrow to the knee.

Skyrim Dragonborn Nord Christmas Tree Could Probably Handle the Cold Outside

These days Christmas trees come in all shapes and sizes. For Skyrim fans, this life-sized Dragonborn Nord tree (actually a statue decorated like a tree) is all they need.

This crazy statue/tree comes from Redditor Lanarchy, who spends way too much time running around in Skyrim and needed more of it in real life. In the future they will say, “I used to decorate my Dragonborn tree every year. Until I took an arrow to the knee.”

This Skyrim tree is the perfect centerpiece for a geeky Christmas. The little Yoda on his shoulder is a nice touch, despite having nothing to do with The Elder Scrolls. Or does he?
