The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Perched on a high ridge east of Markarth, Four Skull Lookout is a ruined Nordic watchtower with commanding views of the Karth River valley and the surrounding Reach. The stone structure, weathered by centuries of wind and war, is named for the four grim skulls mounted on stakes at its center—silent sentinels watching the land below. Though once a place of vigilance, the lookout has been overtaken by necromancers who use the ruins for dark rituals and arcane study. Magical sigils scorch the stone, and eerie chanting can sometimes be heard on the wind. The air around the site feels thin and charged, as if the veil between life and death has worn dangerously thin. Four Skull Lookout is no longer a guardian of the Reach—it is a beacon of corruption, cloaked in power and death.
