The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Perched on a high, wind-blasted cliff north of Winterhold, overlooking the Sea of Ghosts, the Skytemple Ruins are the skeletal remains of a once-revered Nordic shrine. Only scattered pillars and broken stone foundations remain, partially buried in snow and lashed by the relentless northern winds. Despite their dilapidated state, the ruins still hold an undeniable presence—silent witnesses to a forgotten era of sky-worship and ancient magic. Now inhabited by necromancers, the site has taken on a darker tone, with strange rituals performed beneath the stars and the dead walking freely among the ruins. Arcane symbols and conjuration circles hint at efforts to pierce the veil between life and death, and the cold air carries a tension thicker than the frost. Skytemple Ruins are no longer sacred—they are a desecrated monument to lost belief, where the beauty of the northern sky now shines down on the works of the damned.
