The Heavy hunting a dragon

The Dragonborn Helmet, formerly known as the Tamrielic Relic, is a promotional cosmetic item for the Heavy. It is an iron helmet adorned with a horn on each side. The helmet is based on a piece of armor found in certain promotional artwork for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, known as the Iron Helmet within the game itself.

The Dragonborn Helmet was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-ordered The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim before August 8th, 2011 at 10AM PDT. It was also awarded in Unique quality to players who purchased the Quakecon Bundle before August 6th, 2012 at 10AM PDT.

Trivia

  • The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was one of several games not available for pre-order in the United Kingdom and Russia, originally preventing consumers in these regions from directly earning the item in Genuine quality.
  • The Dragonborn Helmet is named after the main character of Skyrim, the "Dovahkiin" (or "Dragonborn"); both names mean "one who is born with the soul of a dragon".[2]
  • The original name for this item is a reference to the fictional continent of Tamriel, the main setting for all the Elder Scroll games.
