Elder Scrolls
The Weapons featured in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim are very diverse. They range from swords and maces to axes, bows, and daggers.
There are dozens of different types, ranging from iron at the lowest level and Daedric weapons at the highest. With the addition of The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard, Dragonbone weapons, which are stronger than Daedric weapons, can be created.
They are essential tools of survival in Skyrim, and can be bought, looted, stolen, forged, or received as a reward. Weapons can be upgraded at a grindstone with the right material.
The following is a complete list of weapons in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and its add-ons.
