The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

A narrow stone jetty stretching from the base of the island cliffs, the Castle Volkihar Docks serve as the only accessible landing point for boats approaching the fortress. Constantly blanketed in dense mist and the scent of brine, the docks are eerily quiet, broken only by the soft lapping of waves and the creak of old mooring posts. Jagged rocks loom just beneath the water’s surface, making navigation treacherous without guidance. A rusted iron gate blocks access to a winding stair that climbs toward the main keep, often watched from the shadows by silent thralls or feral vampires. Moss clings to the slick stones, and scattered bones suggest the occasional unwanted visitor. Though small, the docks are deceptively well-guarded—no ship arrives unnoticed, and few depart without a purpose granted by the Volkihar clan.
