The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Nestled between the jagged cliffs east of Winterhold, Tumble Arch Pass is a narrow, wind-scoured mountain route flanked by towering rock formations and half-buried Nordic stonework. Its name comes from the natural stone arch that looms above the trail—weathered by centuries of wind and ice, as if carved by time itself. Though once used as a minor trade path or hunting route, the pass is now largely abandoned, its treacherous slopes home to wolves, snow bears, or even more dangerous creatures. Occasionally, travelers stumble upon scattered ruins or old campsites hinting at its former use, but few linger long beneath the arch’s looming shadow. Tumble Arch Pass is more than a shortcut—it’s a silent threshold between regions, where history, wilderness, and the ever-present threat of Skyrim’s wild converge under stone and sky.
