Morrowind armor analysis [screenshots]

Edit: Updated! One of the styles has been confirmed as Hlaalu!
The armor styles of Morrowind are iconic for the whole TES franchise, so I think it would warrant its own thread to discuss what we know so far.
The Morag Tong style will likely (finally) show up.
However, Naryu's armor shown in the trailer and in the screenshot below is not "Morag Tong" style.
It's most likely a costume, as you can tell by the seamless integration of armor parts.
The following screeenshot is a headscratcher.
It appears to be light Morag Tong armor in cut and style (see concept art above).
However, it bears the emblem of house Redoran.
This would suggest that there are armor styles associated with the Great Houses.
Taking a closer look at other screenshots, the rounded pauldrons of the Gah-Julan bonemold style.
The style has since been confirmed as Hlaalu style.
The following screenshot shows the Hlaalu style very prominently.
Both screenshots also feature classic bonemold style helmets.
The one in the next screenshots also has spikes on top, suggesting heavy/medium variants again.
Alongside is a shield of an uncertain house. The shape would fit either Redoran or Hlaalu.
The armor with the tabard has been seen in several screenshots, but cannot be identified as belonging to a certain house or armor weight.
Next, we can spot the Telvanni Emblem on the shield of the character on the right.
The same armor is visible in the next screenshot on the character on the right.
Notice the rounded elements on the shin guards compared to those on the character to the left, who most likely wears a variant of the Hlaalu style seen in previous screenshots.
The armor is visible once more in this screenshot, this time with a helmet.
The style is difficult to associate with a house. It could be Telvanni by association with the shield in a previous screenshot.
However, the helmet by itself most closely resembles the Redoran Watchman's helm from TES3.
Overall, there are at least three discernable styles. One that resembles classic bonemold and has been confirmed as Hlaalu, the one seen in the last screenshot, and the known Morag Tong style.
Some house emblems appear on some of these armors, but it is difficult to establish a clear link between the styles and the houses.
If you have anything to add or object to, please reply!

True, didn't think about that. I have the costumes so I won't have to worry about farming, at least

The Red Mountain set is in Ashlander style. I also believe the motif has been datamined, so we might eventually see it somewhere.Alandrol Sul: He's making another Numidium?!?

Wonder why it have Redoran emblem on it. Also wonder if there will be armor of House Dagoth. It would be so cool. @ZOS_GinaBruno can you reveal us if it will be in-game pleeease
?
Judging from this screen and screen in first post - it seems some kind of tabard. As on 1st picture she have cleavage, on this last screen this cleavage removed with clother part and emblem on it. It also somekind a bit different but than why morag tong wear redoran armor..Edited by Cinbri on February 5, 2017 12:22PM0 -

also...prior to One Tam when you could get special drops from Dolmens in Cyro there was a set called Voidgod (or something like that as I can't quite remember) which was Ashlander. I recall the head piece had that full cover over the front of it.0 -

This means we're still lacking Redoran, although its emblem can be seen on that Morag Tong style light armor.Alandrol Sul: He's making another Numidium?!?

I thought that helmet would be the Redoran Watchman's Helmet, maybe he is confused?
The Telvanni clearly need a cephalopod helm.
Also, what is a Telvanni guard doing in Balmora?Edited by MythicEmperor on February 7, 2017 7:35PMWith cold regards,

I thought so too. Now I'm really curious what Redoran helmets are going to look like?
And I'm crossing my fingers we'll get a Cephalopod helmet as a costume piece. Please.Alandrol Sul: He's making another Numidium?!?

That would be amazing! I just hope that the post is a blunder, because I can't see a Telvanni wearing a Redoran-styled helm.With cold regards,

It's all moot to me. I want molecrab armor, complete with full crab-on-head helmet.
I also want the Dreugh armor from Morrowind. I can't want to hear people asking if they can buy some "Drew Armor."0
