The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Half-sunken beneath the cold, still waters of Lake Ilinalta, Ilinalta’s Deep is the ruined shell of a once-proud Imperial fortress, said to have collapsed into the lake during a storm that lasted three days and nights. Cracked stone towers and broken battlements now jut from the shallows like the ribs of a drowned beast, while the flooded interior lies hidden beneath the surface—dark, cold, and choked with debris. Long abandoned, the ruin has since become a haven for necromancers, its flooded chambers repurposed for foul experiments and forbidden rituals. Inside, waterlogged books float between collapsed shelves, and the bloated remains of past victims drift through the flooded halls. Faint torchlight flickers through submerged passageways, and arcane sigils pulse faintly along the stone walls. Despite the dangers, relic hunters and mages are drawn to Ilinalta’s Deep in search of lost knowledge, though few return.
