Before the fall of Arlathan, even before Arlathan itself, the civilization of the elves stretched across all of Thedas like a great, indolent cat. This armor was made for temple guards in a time when the Creators still spoke to the elves. The techniques of its forging, even the name of the metal it is forged from, have long since faded from memory.
—From Codex entry: Ancient Elven ArmorThe Ancient Elven Boots are a piece of the unique Ancient Elven Armor Set.
The boots are found by asking Ser Bryant in the Lothering chantry if there is other assistance he can provide. He will give the Warden a key to a locked cabinet in the chantry that contains the boots.
