The Best Defense is an armor store located in the Imperial City's Market District. [edit]

The Best Defense is a Light and Heavy armor shop run by a Redguard named Varnado and an Imperial named Maro Rufus which is located in the Market District of the Imperial City. You can buy new armor or get your current armor repaired here. There are two separate salesmen in this shop; Maro Rufus who sells light armor and Varnado who sells heavy armor. Varnado also provides Heavy Armor training.

In addition, their in-store smith, Gin-Wulm, is the Armorer master trainer. He lives in the basement where he has something of a Skooma habit.

The relationships between the inhabitants of the store suggest it isn't a very nice place to work.
