The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Hidden deep in the forests southeast of Falkreath, Peak’s Shade Tower is a weathered stone watchtower long abandoned by the hold’s guard. Time and nature have overtaken the structure—its upper levels crumbled, vines snaking through its stairwells, and moss coating its broken battlements. Though its origins are unclear, the tower once served as a lookout over the nearby road and forest paths, offering a clear view toward the Jerall Mountains on a rare clear day. Now, the tower shelters bandits and beasts alike. Faded banners and scattered gear hint at past conflicts, while local hunters report strange howls echoing from the ruin after dusk. Despite its ruined state, the tower remains a point of interest for those seeking shelter, salvage, or a place to disappear. In Falkreath’s shadowed wilderness, Peak’s Shade Tower stands as a crumbling monument to forgotten vigilance and the creeping return of the wild.
