The Arms of Chaos are a collection of weapons and gear inspired by the Staff of Chaos, a stave central to the plot of the firstElder Scrollsgame –The Elder Scrolls: Arena.

The Arm of the Moon and the Arm of the Sun are two new staves introduced with the addon, the Warlock’s Mark is an Amulet, and the Sovereign Band is a Ring. Each has unique effects that are the envy of Mages across the province, particularly the Ring and Amulet, though they are all locked behind a lengthy cross-country questline.
The Arms of Chaos Effects And Stats
The Arms of Chaos are powerful Artifacts that require players to undertake a multi-step questline, travel back and forth between several locations, andultimately take down threeextremely powerful Dremora.
Each of the Arms of Chaos requires players to have access to a Staff Enchanter, so don’t begin hunting them down unless you have completed the quest Reluctant Stewart in Tel Mithryn or have unlocked Myrwatch (anotherAnniversary Editionaddon) which includes one as part of the creation.
Arm of the Moon and Arm of the Sun
The Arm of the Moon and the Arm of the Sun are traditional staves that cast spells with a random chance of inflicting other effects – the Arm of the Moon is essentially an Illusion staff, while the Arm of the Sun is essentially a Destruction staff.
Warlock’s Mark and Sovereign’s Band
The Warlock’s Mark is a powerful Conjuration-oriented Amulet that reduces spell cost, while the Sovereign Band is a more all-around Magicka-boosting ring that Mageswill find hard to replace, even later in the game.
How To Get The Arms of Chaos
The Arms of Chaos are unlocked through the same-named quest that begins in Skytemple Ruins, a short journey North from the College of Winterhold. Look for Hyenni’s Journal in this dungeon, next to both Staves and the Warlock’s Mark. The quest then takes players to Windhelm to locate a sunken ship by investigating the city’s East Empire Company offices.
Inside the sunken ship at Pilgrim’s Trench (West of Skytemple Ruins) is the Sovereign Band next to two books. Returning to Skytemple Ruins after this, players areinstructed to summon three Daedraone after the other to find Sigil Stones necessary to unlock the Arms of Chaos' full power. Both staves require the player to use a Staff Enchanter, the Warlock’s Mark requires a regular Forge, and the Sovereign’s Band doesn’t need to be refined to access its Enchantments. Building each of these three pieces completes the quest.
