Crafted from Adamantium Ore, Adamantium Armor adds some much needed variety to the Medium Armor selection. While it is inferior to Indoril Armor in terms of defense (except for the Helm, and the Greaves since there are no Indoril Greaves), it makes up for it by being much more enchantable, and also it will not anger Ordinators when you wear it.
The easiest way to obtain a complete set of Adamantium Armor is by installing the official Adamantium Armor plug-in, in which case several vendors on Vvardenfell have sets of armor available for purchase. The only missing piece in this case is the Helm, but that can be obtained from the Helm of Tohan plug-in.
Otherwise, obtaining a complete set is likely to require killing Apelles Matius or Yagak gro-Gluk. Yagak is necessary for the Tribunal main quest, so this is not a good idea. Apelles' part in the Tribunal main quest is completed before you actually enter the city, but he is surrounded by friends in the Imperial Legion in Ebonheart, so attempting to get the armor from him could be a bloody affair unless you can taunt him into attacking you.
Without killing Apelles or Yagak, all pieces of armor except the Adamantium Greaves and Pauldrons can be found in various locations under the city, as detailed below. The greaves and pauldrons can be custom-made, but doing so requires twenty pieces of Adamantium Ore, even though you will typically only mine about a dozen pieces of ore. To obtain a full twenty pieces of ore it is necessary to save before mining each piece of ore so that you can reload if the ore is not found.
