The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Towering above the snow-clad mountains south of Winterhold, the Shrine of Azura is one of Skyrim’s most awe-inspiring landmarks—a colossal statue of the Daedric Prince of Dawn and Dusk, carved from dark stone and eternally gazing toward the horizon. Standing with arms outstretched, cradling a star in her hands, Azura's statue dominates the peak, her serene yet commanding presence felt by all who approach. The shrine is tended by Aranea Ienith, a devoted Dunmer priestess who awaits the fulfillment of Azura’s prophecy. During the quest The Black Star, the Dragonborn is called to retrieve and purify Azura’s Star, a powerful soul gem capable of trapping infinite souls. The shrine’s windswept solitude and celestial alignment reflect Azura’s duality—beauty and sorrow, light and twilight. The Shrine of Azura is not merely a monument—it is a beacon of fate and mystery, where the threads of mortal lives intertwine with divine will under the cold, unblinking eye of eternity.
