The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Perched atop a wind-lashed peak west of Morthal, Skyborn Altar is a remote and sacred Dragon Shrine, one of many ancient Nordic sites where the Dragon Cult once communed with their winged gods. Surrounded by jagged cliffs and towering evergreens, the altar commands a breathtaking view of Hjaalmarch’s marshes and distant mountains—an eerie silence broken only by the howling wind and, on occasion, the thunder of wings. At the heart of the site lies a Word Wall, inscribed with the language of dragons and pulsing with the latent power of the Thu’um. A skeletal dragon often guards the altar, rising from the earth to defend the secrets bound in stone. Skyborn Altar is not just a monument, but a battlefield—where the Dragonborn may face the past head-on and claim the voice that once shook the world.
