The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Perched at the far end of the sprawling Dwemer ruin of Mzinchaleft, the Gatehouse is a fortified chamber that once served as a final checkpoint before entering the depths of Blackreach. Built from brass, stone, and ancient machinery, the gatehouse hums with dormant energy, its gears locked in silence and its passage sealed by time. Inside, narrow walkways wind past massive pistons and rusted control panels, while the air carries the scent of oil and cold metal. Though still and forgotten, the Mzinchaleft Gatehouse remains a guarded threshold—marking the boundary between lost Dwarven halls and the world below.
