The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Overlooking the forested lowlands east of Falkreath, the Falkreath Watchtower stands as a crumbling sentinel from a forgotten era. Built to guard against threats rising from the old roads and deep woods, the stone tower has long since fallen into disrepair—its top partially collapsed, and moss creeping through cracks in its weathered walls. Despite its ruin, the tower still offers a commanding view of the surrounding valleys and Lake Ilinalta’s distant shore. Local guards occasionally use it as a vantage point or resting post, though most consider it little more than a relic. Rumors persist of spirits haunting the tower—soldiers who died defending Falkreath Hold, their oaths unfulfilled. Travelers who camp nearby report hearing faint footsteps on the stairs and glimpses of flickering torchlight in the tower’s upper chamber. Whether protected by restless ghosts or simply forgotten by time, the Falkreath Watchtower remains a lonely outpost of stone and memory.
