The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

South of Daggerfall, nestled in a low-lying forest glade, Hollowgrove Tarn is a mist-shrouded pond fed by underground springs and surrounded by leaning, vine-strangled trees. The water is unusually still and dark, reflecting the canopy like a mirror even in wind or rain. Flocks of silent, pale-plumed birds nest along its banks, their movements oddly synchronized, as if stirred by something unseen. Druids once tended this place, believing the tarn to be a site of hidden convergence—where ley lines touched and spirits gathered. Now, few approach it. Hunters say the air grows heavy near the water, and travelers who sleep nearby report waking to strange symbols traced in the mud. Some claim the tarn shows not one’s reflection, but a version of themselves from another time. Hollowgrove remains quiet, its surface undisturbed—but for those who linger, the stillness feels like breath held, waiting.
