Location Messages[edit]
- Craglorn - Though crossed by caravans and Covenant troops going to and from Cyrodiil, this wild region of eastern Hammerfell is a virtual no-man's-land. It's anchored on the east and west by the towns of Elinhir and Dragonstar.
- Aetherian Archive - For untold ages this tower has loomed over Elinhir, its portals mystically sealed, all entry forbidden. Someone exerted immense effort to place impenetrable wards on this place—but now those wards are sundered.
- Balamath - It's said the Ayleids built a citadel at Balamath because the site is a natural juncture point where it is easy to pass between worlds. This story may have attracted the order of renegade conjurers who currently occupy it.
- Belkarth Outlaws Refuge - It's rumored that members of the Dragonstar Caravan Company are known to frequent the outlaws refuge beneath Belkarth—rumors the caravaneers hotly deny.
- Bloodroot Forge - Shunned by the Nords as a place of evil, this mystic forge site was constructed by an unknown Nedic sect that worshiped forgotten dark gods. Now it's been reopened by the Dreadhorn clan of Reachmen, who are meddling with dangerous forces of great power.
- Buried Sands - It's unclear whether the original name of this site was lost, forgotten, or deliberately expunged from the historical record. If they know, the sands aren't telling.
- Chiselshriek Mine - In Belkarth they say that when the Chiselshriek works were played out, the mine was taken over by bandits and raiders. But others whisper that the dig was abandoned because something far worse than bandits took up residence in its depths.
- Domus Phrasticus - No one has seen Phrastus the Scholar since his ill-advised return to the Imperial City. He's probably fine—he must be!—but in the meantime, his walled town house in Elinhir is available on an indefinite basis.
- Dragonstar Arena - Only the strongest and bravest warriors dare to face the challenges of the Dragonstar Arena.
- Earthtear Cavern - You want privacy? What could be more private than lost and forgotten Nedic ruins in a remote corner of Craglorn's backcountry? Especially recommended for overthrown despots, retired master assassins, and Ministers of Finance exiled for embezzling.
- Elinhir Private Arena - Pit Fighting promoter Crottus "Thumbs-Down" Lycus built this private arena atop the haunted ruins of Molavar because the land was cheap, and what could go wrong? He vanished mysteriously some time ago, and now his unique Arena Home is back on the market.
- Elinhir Sewerworks - The sewers beneath Elinhir were the greatest public work undertaken during the administration of Governor Pomptinus, who oversaw the region for the Second Empire from 1E 2820 to 2852.
- Exarch's Stronghold - The Iron Orcs have turned these ruins into the primary stronghold for their chieftain, Braadoth, the Ophidian Exarch of Undulating Destruction.
- Falkreath Hold - Since Hakkvild drove out the Orcs in 2E 467 Falkreath has been back in the hands of the Nords. But now the weakened hold is menaced by another threat: the savage Reachmen of the Dreadhorn clan.
- Fearfangs Cavern - Scorpions and snakes infest this ancient Nedic ruin, making it a perfect location for the Scaled Court's forces to occupy.
- Haddock's Market - Some caravans that enter Craglorn never leave it again. Others do make their way to the far borders—but "under new management." The new proprietors are often members of the Greycloak gang, for such is their illicit business.
- Hakkvild's High Hall - Hakkvild, former Jarl of Falkreath who freed the hold from the hands of Yashmag's Orcs, built himself this spacious hall on the heights above town, with convenient access to the crypts of his ancestors. And now it can be yours!
- Hel Ra Citadel - When the warriors of the Ra Gada came to the shores of Hammerfell, some of the fiercest cohorts marched far inland in search of domains to claim. Hel Ra was one of the easternmost of these domains, but its gates were sealed long ago.
- Hircine's Haunt - "The Offices of the Hunt, which the Huntsmen, Master, and Hounds are solemnly sworn to honor … states that the Hare must have a genuine chance to escape the Hunt, no matter how slim." — The Posting of the Hunt
- The Howling Sepulchers - Undead overrun the Howling Sepulchers, a windswept burial grounds once sacred to the ancient Nedes.
- Ilthag's Undertower - The ruins known as Ilthag's Undertower serve as a training ground for the Iron Orcs' growing army of trolls, under the tutelage of Ilthag Ironblood.
- Loth'Na Caverns - A valley surrounded by dozens of caves built into the valley walls, the Loth'Na Caverns contain numerous sites important to the ancient Nedes.
- The Mage's Staff - Whatever this colossal onyx shard may be, one thing is certain: it comes from somewhere beyond the bounds of Tamriel. And the fabric of Tamriel may not be strong enough to contain its power.
- Molavar - Roughly translated, the ancient Elven word "molavar" means "fire mouth," though it's unknown whether that was this ruin's original name in Ayleidoon or a description of the doom that overtook it.
- Mtharnaz - Mtharnaz is one of the youngest known Dwarven ruins. Indeed, it was still under construction when the Dwemer disappeared.
- Rahni'Za - "Who has not heard of the Trials of Rahni'Za? Five they are, each a test of a warrior's mettle, until the hopeful champion is faced at last by the Trial of the True Path. Though many attempt it, few succeed." —The Unveiled Azadiyeh
- Reinhold's Retreat - The water swirling through the ancient structure and the darkness of the ruined depths hide a multitude of secrets within this forgotten Nedic temple.
- Rkhardarhrk - There have been reports of dreugh infesting the Dwarven ruins of Rkhardahrk. Impossible: how could a colony of dreugh survive so far from the sea?
- Rkundzelft - Not all the Rourken Dwemer who came to the Dragontail Mountains ventured as far west as Volenfell. The lofty halls of Rkundzelft seem to indicate that the Dwarves built it for some great purpose—but what?
- Ruins of Kardala - Great statues of Yokudan warriors stand like sentries before the entrance to the ancient crypts of Kardala. What age-old secrets do they guard?
- Sanctum Ophidia - The Sanctum caverns are works of art, carved masterpieces sealed long ago. Unfortunately for Craglorn, the Ophidians were always the most … fervent of the Celestial sects.
- Shada's Tear - "Weep for Shada, tears of grief. The endless years bring no relief." —Old Hammerfell Ballad
- Seeker's Archive - "The Seeker's Archive"—a curious name for something that appears to be a Yokudan temple. A dry, dusty draft seeps out from beneath the door, bearing the scent of a thousand, thousand libraries ….
- Serpent's Nest - Snakes and serpents of all sizes slither through the caves and passages of Serpent's Nest, including (if the rumors are to be believed) a trio of deadly lamias and a contingent of Scaled Court cultists.
- Skyreach Hold - The ancient city of Skyreach extended around, through, and beneath the Dragontail Mountains. One theory suggests the ancient Nedes took shelter in the ruined section known as the Hold when the Yokudans invaded.
- Skyreach Catacombs - The ancient Nedes interred the dead of Skyreach within the massive chambers and passages beneath the city, both commoners and nobles alike.
- Skyreach Temple - This ancient Nedic temple, located in the depths of the Loth'Na Caverns, has been appropriated by agents of Regent Cassipia and the Scaled Court.
- Skyreach Pinnacle - The highest section of the Skyreach ruins, Skyreach Pinnacle appears to have been some kind of Nedic summoning or experimentation chamber.
- Tombs of the Na-Totambu - "Know, O my prince, that in that forgotten time there arose a ruler of great wickedness, who unjustly took unto himself the title of Emperor. Cruel was he, utterly without ruth, and his name was Tarish-Zi." —The Unveiled Azadiyeh
- Zalgaz's Den - The scholar Phrastus of Elinhir claims that "Zalgaz" is Old Nedic for "lizard lady." But his rival, Cinnabar of Taneth, dismisses this as "A reeking load of guarwash."
