The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Northwest of Markarth, rising from the jagged cliffs of the Reach, Broken Tower Redoubt is a crumbling Nordic stronghold seized by the Forsworn and repurposed into a fortress of defiance. Once a proud watchtower guarding the Karth River valley, its upper walls now lie in ruin, overtaken by overgrowth, ritual totems, and the stench of blood and fire. The Forsworn have fortified the structure with wooden barricades, spike traps, and guard posts. Inside, narrow stairwells and collapsing halls wind through the stone interior, echoing with chants and the clash of iron. Prisoners are sometimes held within its cells, awaiting sacrifice or ransom. Broken Tower Redoubt is more than a ruin—it’s a bastion of rebellion, a symbol of the Reach’s ancient fury reclaimed by those who refuse to forget their lost kingdom.
