The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Perched high above the crashing waves south of Daggerfall, Tarnwatch Bluff is a windswept cliff crowned by the crumbling remains of an old lighthouse, its beacon long extinguished. Built during the early Second Era to warn ships of the rocky coastline, the tower fell into disuse centuries ago and was later claimed by smugglers, who carved hidden storage alcoves into the cliffside below. Now, only the lower shell remains—weathered stone, rusted lanterns, and faded carvings obscured by sea mist and gull droppings. Local fisherfolk say the bluff is cursed; ships still founder on the rocks beneath, and strange lights flicker in the tower during storms. Some believe the souls of drowned smugglers haunt the place, doomed to watch the sea they once used to their advantage. Despite the warnings, treasure hunters continue to scale the bluff in search of hidden goods and lost relics—but few linger after dusk, when the wind starts howling through the stones like a voice that remembers.
