The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Carved directly into the towering stone cliffs of the Reach, the gate to Markarth is a massive Dwemer-forged archway that serves as both entrance and defense for the ancient city. Flanked by brass-toned towers and guarded by vigilant soldiers, the gate blends seamlessly into the mountainside, hinting at the city's deep Dwarven roots. The stone path leading in is slick with mist from the nearby river, and the sounds of water echo off the stone as travelers approach. Passing through the gate is like stepping into another age—one shaped by stone, steam, and the enduring legacy of the Deep Folk.
