The Mace of the Crusader is one of the Relics of the Crusader, the holy gear of Pelinal Whitestrake from Oblivion’s Knights of the Nine. The Divine Crusader Creation returns it to Skyrim along with the matching sword and armor.
How to get it
Travel to Four Skull Lookout, far east-northeast of Markarth. The bandit thieves Eigorn and Oren hold the Crusader’s Relics there. Kill them and take the relics. The quest, Relics of the Crusader, does not appear in your journal.
Enchantment
Burns the target for 15 points of fire damage, and targets on fire take extra damage.
Stats and handling
16 base damage at a weight of 18 – as hard-hitting as a Daedric Mace but lighter. It uses the One-handed skill.
Smithing
Improve it with a 
Steel Ingot. It needs Arcane Blacksmith, and Steel Smithing doubles the improvement.
Strengths and weaknesses
- Strength: Daedric-mace damage with steel tempering.
- Strength: available early if you can handle the bandits.
- Weakness: modest fire enchantment.
Tips
- Pair it with the Sword of the Crusader and a shield for a paladin build.
- Maces ignore part of the target’s armor with the Bone Breaker perk, so it scales well for One-handed specialists.
