Volsung is a corundum dragon priest mask obtained by killing the eponymous Volsung at the end of the Nordic ruin, Volskygge. The artifact's enchantment allows you to breathe underwater, carry an additional twenty units of weight, and increases your bartering abilities by twenty points. It can be tempered with corundum ingots.

- Volsung is the most valuable of all the dragon priest masks, with a value of 4,611. This is, in part, due to the waterbreathing enchantment having a high base enchantment cost of 100, and it's numerical value being set to 20. Waterbreathing enchantments function the same at any numerical value. Thus, Volsung is valued as if it has 20 individual waterbreathing enchantments placed upon it.
