Fantasy game art from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion . The city guards outside of the Imperial City have similar outfits that primarily differ from each other in the color and designs of the cuirass and shield. The Imperial City guards either wear the heavy Imperial Legion armor or the silver armor of the Watch Captains and Palace Guards . City guards share the same simple helmet. The other parts of their armor/uniform (gauntlets, greaves, boots) are drawn from other armour sets, usually chainmail. There are very few female guards, and perhaps for that reason there is no female version of the armour -- the female version below is from a mod. The slideshow at the bottom of this page has pictures of the armor from the various cities of Tamriel ( Anvil , Bravil , Bruma , Cheydinhal , Chorrol , Kvatch , Leyawiin , Skingrad ). 1: Male Version 3: Modded Female Version (from Colourwheel's Sexy Imperial Legion ) 4: Picture Slideshow
