The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Located northeast of Valtheim Towers in Eastmarch, Gallows Rock is a grim, half-ruined Nordic fort steeped in blood and shadow. Crumbling stone walls and wolf-adorned banners mark it as the stronghold of the Silver Hand, a brutal faction of werewolf hunters whose hatred for lycanthropes borders on obsession. Once a place of justice in ancient times, the fort has since become a prison and torture site for Companions and suspected werewolves. During the Companions questline, the Dragonborn joins Skjor and Aela the Huntress in launching a bloody assault to avenge fallen kin. Inside, narrow halls are filled with torture racks, silver weapons, and cages where beast-blooded captives met their end. Gallows Rock is no longer a place of judgment—it’s a slaughterhouse cloaked in righteous cruelty, where the line between hunter and monster is drawn in silver and soaked in blood.
