The Nordic Mace comes from the Dragonborn add-on and the carved Nordic smithing tradition of Solstheim. It deals 13 base damage, weighs 16 and has a value of 410.
Unusually, Nordic gear is tied to the Advanced Armors perk rather than a material perk of its own. It fits alongside Nordic Carved Armor for a heavy, Solstheim-style warrior.
