Lore:Ald'ruhn

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

Ald'ruhn's Under-Skar is the main focal point for the city and is the area where many important Redoran councillors reside.

The town of Ald'ruhn (sometimes spelled Ald-ruhn) is the second largest settlement population-wise on Vvardenfell. It is a dusty cluster of Redoran-style buildings nestled against the southwest slopes of Red Mountain, just outside The Ghostfence. It is the seat of House Redoran's council, and all of the councilors maintain expansive mansions in Under-Skar, the manor district built in the hollowed shell of an ancient land-crab known as Skar. There are many smaller houses clustered about the giant shell, including both the Fighters Guild and Mages Guild. Representatives of the Thieves Guild are to be found in "The Rat In The Pot"' inn, and on the east side of town is a large Tribunal Temple. The Morag Tong guildhall is actually located in a mansion Under-Skar. Close to the south is the Imperial Legion fort, Buckmoth Legion Fort.

[edit] Notes

• In Oblivion, NPCs will say:

I've heard it said that the daedra have overrun the town of Ald'ruhn. The entire town has been destroyed.

• Other rumors indicate that the Redoran are being besieged by Nords from Skyrim. They do not specify Ald'ruhn specifically, but this may be implied, given that Ald'ruhn is the main stronghold of the House.
