Bromjunaar is probably the second oldest city in Skyrim after Saarthal. After the Dragon War the city fell into a depression and was eventually abandoned most likely around the start of the 1st era, as it was long forgotten by the time Shalidor built the Labrinthian within the abandoned city sometime in the 3rd century of the 1st era. Then after the Labyrinthian was abandoned (due to it's brutality), the city was forgotten again until the 3rd era when the Eternal Champion found a tablet referring to the Labyrithian that was found within the Fortress of Ice. So were talking about a city here that has been unknown for around 4000 years here. it was probably just time that began to decay the forsaken city.
