The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Perched on a windswept ridge northwest of Solitude, the Thalmor Embassy is a heavily guarded estate that serves as the Aldmeri Dominion’s political and intelligence center in Skyrim. Surrounded by stone walls and patrolled by sharp-eyed Justiciars, the embassy boasts elegant Elven architecture—sleek, angular, and coldly pristine, starkly contrasting the rugged Nordic landscape around it. Officially, the embassy hosts diplomatic gatherings and enforces the White-Gold Concordat’s ban on Talos worship. Unofficially, it is a fortress of surveillance, interrogation, and political manipulation. Beneath its main hall lies a hidden dungeon used to imprison and question suspected enemies of the Dominion. Feared by many and trusted by few, the Thalmor Embassy stands as a symbol of foreign control—beautiful on the surface, but steeped in silence, secrets, and suppressed rebellion.
