Arkved's Tower

From the OblivioWiki – your guide to everything Oblivion

Arkved's Tower is an abandoned tower directly north of Nornal, near the Corbolo River. Unlike other ruins, there is no dungeon connected to the tower. The tower is well-preserved with much of the exterior still intact, the secondary ruins cover a large area, but hold no special value. Plant-life is sparse: scattered Monkshood with a few Viper's Bugloss and Lavender. Ideally the fort is similar to an Oblivion gate, with a large bridge connecting the two worlds.

It is a key area in the daedric quest for Vaermina, given at the Vaermina's Shrine.

[edit] Bug

In one of the rooms in the tower, a dining room, complete with tables, chairs, and silverware appears on the ceiling. With a high enough acrobatics score (compounded by the Boots of Springheel Jak), it is possible to jump up and "sit" in one of the chairs. This will propel you beyond the mapping, essentially outside the game.
