The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Nestled near the border of Skyrim and Morrowind, east of Windhelm, Refugees' Rest is a solemn and snow-buried monument marking the path once taken by Dunmer fleeing the eruption of Red Mountain during the Red Year. The weathered shrine, flanked by stone pillars and a broken altar, serves as a quiet memorial to those who perished seeking sanctuary across the frozen mountain passes. Though now largely forgotten and untended, the site still carries a heavy stillness—its stonework half-buried in snow, and offerings occasionally left by passing Dunmer pilgrims paying respect to their lost kin. A few faded etchings remain, whispering tales of sorrow, hope, and the price of survival. Refugees' Rest is more than a waypoint—it is a place of mourning and remembrance, where the snow does not hide the pain of the past, and where the exiled are honored beneath Skyrim’s cold sky.
