The Ancient Nord Mace is a draugr mace from the Fishing Creation with 10 base damage and a weight of 16. It turns up from the start of the game in the ancient Nordic ruins where draugr rest.
Ancient Nord Mace Location
Draugr and skeletons in ancient Nordic tombs carry it, so copies are easy to loot from them. It can also be caught while fishing.
Smithing Guide
Enchanted weapons require the Arcane Blacksmith Perk to upgrade.
Upgrades
Ancient Nord Mace is improved at a grindstone with one Steel Ingot per improvement. The Steel Smithing perk doubles the improvement, so each quality tier needs less Smithing skill. An enchanted copy can only be improved with the Arcane Blacksmith perk.

| Superior | 31 | 22 | +3 |
| Exquisite | 65 | 40 | +5 |

Weapon Levels
Some weapons in Skyrim are Levelled. The power of a levelled weapon is based on your charcters level when you get them. Some get stronger in both physical and magical aspects, while others only improve their enchantments. These items don't get better as your character levels up.
Ancient Nord Mace has the same damage at every character level.

In Play
The Ancient Nord Mace is one of the old weapons buried with the Nords in their tombs. Draugr and skeletons carry it, so the ruins of Skyrim hold many copies. It is a mace of roughly steel quality, a fair weapon for the early game until better metals turn up.
Maces suit a fighter who faces heavy armor. The One-Handed Skill tree raises its damage. Armsman boosts every one-handed weapon, and Bone Breaker lets maces ignore part of the target's armor.
Variants
Higher level draugr carry the Honed Ancient Nord Mace, a sharper and heavier form that hits harder. The honed mace gains more from tempering with the Dwarven Smithing Perk, while the plain one uses the Steel Smithing Perk.
After the Companions questline, the Skyforge in Whiterun can turn the mace into a Nord Hero Mace.
