The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Positioned just east of Markarth along the Karth River, the Markarth Military Camp serves as a key forward base for Imperial forces in the Reach. Surrounded by canvas tents and fortified with wooden barricades, the camp operates in constant readiness—watching both for Forsworn ambushes from the hills and Stormcloak activity from the east. A command tent sits at the camp’s center, where officers gather over maps to plan maneuvers across the rugged terrain. Legionnaires drill in the open, while medics tend to wounded soldiers returning from skirmishes in the wilds. Though temporary in structure, the camp is a strong symbol of Imperial presence in the volatile Reach, where every torch lit and every order given pushes back against the chaos beyond Markarth’s walls.
