The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Nestled in the foothills south of Falkreath, Halldir’s Cairn is a mysterious Nordic barrow shrouded in fog and unease. From the outside, it appears as a simple burial mound flanked by standing stones and overgrown grasses, but within lies a twisting series of tombs and chambers haunted by restless spirits. Echoes of ancient voices drift through the dark halls, and flickering lights lead travelers deeper into the ruin, often to their doom. The cairn is named after Halldir, a powerful conjurer whose spirit still lingers in the depths. According to legend, he attempted to bend the minds of his own brothers using foul magic, ultimately dooming them all to an eternity of undeath. His influence remains strong—illusions twist reality, and draugr rise to defend the crypt. Though not large, Halldir’s Cairn is perilous, its halls warped by madness and filled with ancient grief. Those who enter rarely leave unchanged, if they leave at all.
