The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Southwest of Rorikstead, nestled among the rugged hills of the Reach, Serpent’s Bluff Redoubt is a crumbling Nordic ruin now occupied by a warlike band of Forsworn. Its ancient stone walls, partially sunken into the earth, are covered in crude paint, bone totems, and tattered banners bearing the serpentine sigil of the clan that claimed it. Tents and wooden scaffolding litter the grounds, while fires burn at all hours, filling the air with smoke and the sharp scent of blood and herbs. Inside the ruin, remnants of old Nord architecture blend with Forsworn shrines to the Old Gods, and captured prisoners are sometimes held in makeshift cages. Dangerous and fiercely defended, Serpent’s Bluff Redoubt is a stronghold of rebellion, where the wilds of the Reach rise up against Imperial order and the past stirs with primal fury.
