The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Beneath Riften’s worn cobblestone streets lies the Ratway—a crumbling, shadowy maze of tunnels, chambers, and forgotten stonework. Originally part of the city’s old sewer system, it now serves as a refuge for the desperate, the dangerous, and the unseen. Rotting timbers groan overhead, flickering torches cast long shadows, and the air is thick with mildew and silence. Broken furniture, discarded belongings, and the occasional hidden door hint at the lives that pass through its depths. The Ratway is more than a passage—it’s a secret world beneath the city, where survival often means staying hidden.
