The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Rising from the heart of a quiet marsh in Hjaalmarch, east of Morthal, The Apprentice Stone glows with a soft, verdant light that reflects off the surrounding still water and tangled reeds. Standing alone on a small island, this ancient Standing Stone is said to bestow heightened magical affinity upon those who touch it—greatly increasing magicka regeneration at the cost of vulnerability to spells. Shrouded in mist and solitude, the stone is surrounded by twisted trees, mud-crusted roots, and the distant croaks of unseen frogs. The atmosphere is both peaceful and unsettling, as if the swamp itself holds its breath around this beacon of arcane power. Mages and scholars sometimes seek it out in quiet reverence, drawn to the promise of power despite the peril. The Apprentice Stone is a place of balance disrupted—a pact between brilliance and risk, hidden in the wetlands of Skyrim.
