The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Perched at the southern end of Riften, Mistveil Keep stands as the seat of power for the Rift. Its formidable stone walls and elevated position contrast sharply with the city's timber architecture, symbolizing authority and resilience. Within its halls, the Jarl's court convenes in a combined throne room and dining area, where decisions shaping the hold are made. Adjacent chambers house the steward, court wizard, and military advisors, each contributing to the governance and defense of the region. The keep also encompasses the city's barracks and jail, underscoring its role as both administrative center and bastion of law. From its balconies, one can overlook the city and the surrounding landscapes, a constant reminder of the responsibilities borne within its walls.​
