The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Built into the base of the city’s cliffs beneath the Temple of Kynareth, the Hall of the Dead is a solemn, stone-walled crypt where Whiterun’s departed are laid to rest. Maintained by the quiet and dutiful Priest of Arkay, Andurs, the hall is dimly lit by flickering candles and lined with alcoves holding ancient urns and stone sarcophagi. The air is cool and reverent, filled with the scent of incense and the weight of centuries. Despite its eerie silence, the hall is a place of peace, where the dead are honored and protected from profane disturbance.
