[edit] County Anvil

County Anvil is a hilly territory and is dotted with Ayleid ruins and caves. The prevalence of Ayleid structures matches that of the rest of the province although the written histories of that time period never mention any events that deep in the Colovian west. Given their final flight into Valenwood the region may have been a late bastion of their declining influence, or perhaps the settlements were used as stepping-stones during the original colonization of Cyrodiil, Ut Cyrod. North of Anvil, along the Gold Road, lies the Brina Cross Inn that provides accommodation for weary travelers and merchants.

[edit] The City of Anvil

Anvil consists of five districts: Castle Anvil, Chapelgate, Westgate, Guildgate and Harborside. The Countess of Anvil is Millona Umbranox. Her husband, the former Count Corvus Umbranox, disappeared ten years ago. Several citizens will comment on the Redguard influence on local house architecture, which are built in a similar style to that of nearby Hammerfell.

[edit] Castle Anvil

Castle Anvil is the seat of the Countess of Anvil, Millona Umbranox and the power center for County Anvil. It is located outside the city, on an island connected to the city proper via a bridge.

[edit] Chapelgate

The area around Anvil's Chapel of Dibella is commonly called Chapelgate. To the south, a city gate leads to Castle Anvil. The city's graveyard is located across the street from the Chapel. North of the graveyard lies Benirus Manor, one of Anvil's stately manors.

[edit] Westgate

Westgate, near the Harbor Gate comprises the city's residential area. The city's inn, The Count's Arms, is also located here.

[edit] Guildgate

Guildgate, south of the Main Gate, is known for its Mages Guild and Fighters Guild chapters, located directly on the main concourse. Along with Chapelgate, it is one of the most prestigious districts of Anvil.

[edit] Harborside

The Harborside is located directly outside the Harbor Gate, in Anvil Harbor. There are berths for large ships, and smaller vessels. Two inns are located on the Harborside, The Flowing Bowl and The Fo'c's'le which is reserved for seamen only. Anvil Lighthouse is located on a peninsula south of the Harbor.
