The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Clinging to the jagged cliffs southeast of Riften, high above the road to Ivarstead, Forelhost is one of the most foreboding and well-preserved Nordic ruins in all of Skyrim. Once a stronghold of the Dragon Cult, it now serves as the final resting place of their fanatical last stand—sealed off from the world during the rise of the Dragonborn rebellion in the First Era. Inside, the ruin is filled with deadly draugr, intricate traps, and the remnants of desperate resistance. At its heart lies the powerful Dragon Priest Rahgot, one of the few surviving leaders of the Dragon Cult, still clad in ancient armor and wielding devastating power. A Word Wall hidden deep within teaches a word of the Storm Call shout, making the site as rewarding as it is perilous. Forelhost is more than a tomb—it is a fortress of fanaticism and finality, where the dead still serve their dragon masters, and where the echoes of Skyrim’s oldest war still thunder beneath stone.
