Daedric equipment and other queries

I am looking to complete my set of Daedric equipment. I have most of the weapons but I still need a spear, a long bow and a two-handed battleaxe. I have virtually no armour save for two shields

Anyone know where I can find the loot?
I hung around the Ravel ancestral tomb for a while and the nearby Daedric shrine - great for rapid respawning high-level enemies, Dremora Lords, Golden Saints and the like. Unfortunately a few Daedroths too. I hate Daedroths, they never have any loot and I have despised poison, ever since playing Baldur's Gate all those years ago
Speaking of Daedroths, does anyone know where Kora Dur is, there is a Daedroth monarch whose span is a lot shorter than he thinks

Daedric Armor:
- Helms:
Mask of Clavicus Vile - dropped by Sorkvild the Raven
Daedric Face of Inspiration - found in Mamaea
Daedric Face of Terror - Forge of Hilbongard
- Cuirass: worn by Divayth Fyr
- Greaves: Dren's Villa
- Boots: Galom Daeus (vampire lair NE of Molag Mar)
- Pauldrons: worn by Divayth Fyr
- Gauntlets: found in Bleeding Heart (cavern below Kogoruhn)
Spear: Berandus underground
Bow: Maelkashishi shrine
Axe: Ibar-Dad
If you do the Temple and Imperial Cult quests - you get directed to a lot of these areas.
Edit: Kora-Dur is in the Ashlands region due east of Kogoruhn as the crow flies.

You can also get daedric greaves if you are part of house telvanni and do later quests for the insane councilor (Mistress Dratha I believe) to get Ariels bow-she gives you greaves with constant effect feather

The Daedric armor is hard to find indeed, but weapon ... Just on level 25 or 26 i had 3 Claymores, 9 Dai-Katanas, 5 Hammers, 16 Katanas, 16 Wakazashi, 21 Dagger (those i have sold some to the crab, the cost is quite right), about 10 Spears (have sold some as well) etc. - not counting less interesting Daedric weapons and a pile of Ebony. All because i took the Book of Daedra rather personally, so i visited the places Daedras used to wander around on any ocassion i was near and rather often (about 700 Daedra heart in my store in spite of using them in alchemy and in development of Merchant skill) ...

I hang around Daedric Shrines alot too - trying to nab Golden Saints. It's interesting how in one game, Golden Saints seem to pop out of the woodwork, then in the next game, about the only time I see them is when I summon them. (I always visit the shrines at high levels.) I'm encountering a lot of Dremora Lords this time around (good for daedric weapons, bad for glass items).

Thanks to everyone for your help.
The Daedric Battleaxe is fantastic, it puts down Atronachs with one blow!
I will have to continue frequenting Daedric shrines to find things worth fighting. I get very tired of cliff racers whenever I try to walk anywhere.
I haven't really explored inside the ghostfence yet, are there some good things to fight in there?

Oh yea, especially at higher levels. Bring plenty of Grand Soul gems - you'll see why soon enough. Make sure you have a decent supply of Cure Blight & Common Disease potions and other staples. I'm currently making a second trip into the Red Mountain area this game - there is a lot of loot to be found.

Be sure to explore all of the dwemer ruins in that region, too. There are plenty of items in there. Also there are a couple daedric shrines, but not a whole lot in them. They are worth exploring, like any other shrine. I just hate the dang dagoth creatures, though. I find them more annoying than cliff racers.

I'm having fun exploring at the moment. I haven't met enough of those Dagoth thingummies for them to become really annoying yet. Though I would have thought cliff racers would be extinct on Vvardenfell by now!!!
Ascended sleepers provide some amusement, though Dremora Lords are the best, at least they have some fight in them. Golden saints just aren't strong enough and are frequently armed with glass weapons which don't do enough damage to make them worthy opponents.
Having done the main quest segment involving Lord Fyr, is there any reason not to murder him for his Daedric armour? Other than a moral one, that is?

*spoiler*
If you have already beaten Dagoth Ur, then no worries killing people you want to kill, the plot is over.
And Goldent Saints and Dremoras are not dagoth things-im reffering to the ascended sleepers, gouls, slaves, zombies, etc. Though the most annoying thing in the game is the Bonewalker-blasted drains strength and endurance-I HATE them!

Good point, I had forgotten how annoying that was. Luckily I have not met all that many of them, but I note that no matter how quickly you put them down, they always get a shot in and drain you. After the first couple of meetings I went out and bought all the restore attribute spells! My strength is currently 124 which means I can take a hit or two and still keep going.
As for the Dagoth creatures, I don't find them desperately irritating, at least not yet. I haven't met any ash vampires so far, I wonder if they will be good to fight.
