The dusty city Ald'ruhn, situated on the south-western slopes of the Red Mountain is controlled by House Redoran.

Districts of Ald'ruhn
Ald'ruhn is the district seat of House Redoran, and one of the largest settlements on Vvardenfell. The three principal districts are Ald'ruhn town, Ald'ruhn-under-Skar, and Buckmoth Fort.

Ald'ruhn Town
Ald'ruhn town is a large settlement in the Redoran village style, built of local materials, with organic curves and undecorated exteriors inspired by the landscape and by the shells of the giant native insects. Most guildhalls, cornerclubs, and merchants are sited in the southwest corner of the town, convenient to the West Gate and the strider port, while the Temple is located on high ground to the east, and surrounded by a residential section.

Ald'ruhn-under-Skar
Ald'ruhn-under-Skar is the most distinctive architectural feature of Ald'ruhn, a manor and council district sheltered beneath the shell of an extinct giant crab. The large carapace encloses a central dome, from which radiate the entrances to the Redoran Council Chambers, the manors of the Redoran Councilors, and shops of a few upscale merchants.

Buckmoth Fort
Buckmoth Fort is the Imperial Legion garrison for the district. The strong wall and towers of this Western fortress lies a short distance to the south of Ald'ruhn Town, through South Gate behind the Mages Guild.
