The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Hidden in the snowy mountains south of Helgen, Haemar’s Shame is a dark and winding vampire lair tucked beneath the ruins of Haemar’s Cavern. What begins as a quiet cave with scattered remnants of past travelers quickly descends into a bloodstained network of tunnels steeped in death, necromancy, and the worship of Clavicus Vile. The cave is inhabited by vampires, thralls, and wild animals corrupted by proximity to the shrine deep within. At the heart of the lair lies a Daedric shrine to Clavicus Vile, where the Dragonborn meets his faithful hound Barbas during the quest A Daedra's Best Friend. The air is thick with decay, and the flickering light of braziers casts long shadows on the stone walls, each turn more dangerous than the last. Haemar’s Shame is more than a vampire den—it’s a place where pacts are made in blood, where daedric whispers echo through the dark, and where the line between servitude and damnation is as thin as the dust-covered air.
