The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

South of Markarth and hidden behind a cascading waterfall, Reachwater Rock is a secluded cave with an eerie stillness and deep historical significance. The entrance, tucked along the Karth River, leads to a quiet grotto that gradually descends into ancient Nordic crypts once sealed to contain the remains of powerful Dragon Priests. Used during the legendary Forbidden Legend quest, the site serves as the final resting place of Gauldur’s legacy. The deeper chambers reveal ceremonial altars, Draugr guardians, and a sealed sanctum where Gauldur’s sons were entombed after turning against one another. The air is thick with tension, lit only by flickering torches and the soft trickle of underground streams. Reachwater Rock is more than a tomb—it is a hidden shrine to betrayal, power, and the ancient magic that still stirs beneath Skyrim’s soil.
