Bthardamz

Bthardamz is a location in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

It is located in The Reach, just northwest of the Shrine to Peryite. It is mostly inhabited by the Afflicted, but the player will also find Dwemer automatons.

layout
Bthardamz is comprised of nine sections: Bthardamz Exterior, Bthardamz Interior, Bthardamz Upper District, Bthardamz Lower District, Bthardamz Dwelling, Bthardamz Workshop, Bthardamz Study and Bthardamz Arcanex.

Bthardamz Exterior
The exterior appears much like any other Dwemer Ruin in Skyrim. There are a few lootable urns outside. It is patrolled by the Afflicted.

Bthardamz Interior
The interior of Bthardamz consists of five different levels.

Bthardamz Upper District
This is perhaps the largest section of Bthardamz. Afflicted mages, fighters, and archers patrol the ruins, along with a few leveled Dwarven Spheres and spiders. The Upper District appears to be the living quarters for Peryite's Afflicted.

Bthardamz Lower District
There are more Dwemer automatons here than in the upper level. Plenty of Afflicted patrol this area as well. There is some mineable ore here, including at least two gold veins.

Bthardamz Dwelling
A single room with two afflicted, a chest and an apprentice locked gate with a speech skillbook Biography of the Wolf Queen.

Bthardamz Workshop
This section is fairly small. There are several chests, some traps, Dwarven Spiders, and more Afflicted.

Bthardamz Study
Another small section with automatons and traps.

Bthardamz Arcanex
The only enemies on this level are Dwemer automatons, most notably a Dwarven Centurion and Orchendor, the priest of Peryite. There is one Quicksilver Ore Vein you can mine here.
