The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Hidden deep within the rugged hills of the western Reach, Harmugstahl is a crumbling Nordic ruin twisted into a den of danger and deception. Its moss-covered stonework and partially collapsed entryways lead into dark halls filled with deadly traps, locked doors, and magical wards—all set by the paranoid warlock Cornelius, who has turned the ruin into his personal fortress. The corridors echo with the scuttling of frostbite spiders and the sharp crack of misfired spells, while strange magical experiments lie abandoned in dusty side chambers. Though small compared to Skyrim’s larger ruins, Harmugstahl is deceptively treacherous—its puzzles and traps a reflection of Cornelius’s madness. For those cunning or careful enough to survive its winding passages, Harmugstahl offers both arcane mystery and the thrill of outwitting a mind long lost to isolation and obsession.
