The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Nestled in the woods along the southern edge of the White River, west of Riverwood and just off the main road, Anise’s Cabin appears at first glance to be a humble, peaceful homestead. The small timber structure is tucked among tall pines, with a chopping block, garden patch, and gently smoking chimney lending the impression of a quiet life lived in seclusion. The front room is simple—stocked with food, herbs, and a bedroll, all carefully arranged with the care of someone used to living alone. But beneath the floorboards, a hidden cellar tells a different story. Arcane symbols, alchemy equipment, and dark tomes clutter the secret room, suggesting that Anise is no harmless recluse, but a practitioner of forbidden magic. Though she insists she’s just an old woman keeping to herself, travelers who wander too close or ask too many questions may quickly find her demeanor shift.
