The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Tucked beyond the reaches of Skyrim’s known world, accessible only through ancient passageways deep beneath the Reach, the Forgotten Vale is a vast, breathtaking glacial valley hidden high in the mountains and shrouded in eternal twilight. Towering ice cliffs, shimmering waterfalls, and silver-leafed trees line the horizon, while crystalline rivers wind through the frost-covered wilds. Once a sanctuary for the Snow Elves, the vale still bears the echoes of their lost civilization—ruined temples, sacred shrines, and the majestic Inner Sanctum of Auriel. Frost giants roam the tundra, dragons circle the peaks, and the final remnants of a noble race linger in sorrow and secrecy. Central to the Dawnguard prophecy, the Forgotten Vale is not only a place of surreal beauty—it is a sacred realm where myth and divinity still walk, and where the light of Auriel glimmers even in the deepest cold.
