Leyawiin (Oblivion)

Leyawiin is a forted coastal city located in County Leyawiin, in the Blackwood Region of southern Cyrodiil. County Lewayiin is nestled around the Lower Niben Bay, bordered by Black Marsh to the east, Elsweyr to the west and the Topal Bay to the south. Lying on the southern west bank of the Lower Niben Bay, the city of Leyawiin guards the passage up the Niben River from Topal Bay to the Imperial City.

The rather prosperous city of Leyawiin consists of large, comfortable timbered and stucco structures, colorfully painted and well maintained. The landscape is dotted with lush trees, flowering shrubs, and abundant flora pleasing to the eye. The common areas of the city are dotted with peaceful plazas where a body can spend hours in quiet solitude, enjoying the scenery. There is a larger than average population of Argonians and Khajiiti located in Leyawiin, most probably due to the proximity of their respective homelands of Black Marsh and Elsweyr.

The local nobility of Leyawiin are Count Marius Caro and his lovely wife, Countess Alessia Caro, daughter of Countess Arriana Valga of Chorrol. They reside in Castle Leyawiin, located in the southeast corner of the city. The Chapel of Zenithar, dedicated to the God of Work and Commerce, is the local house of worship, and can be found in the northwest portion of the city. Lodging can be found at the Five Claws Lodge, across the street from The Chapel of Zenithar to the north, or at the Three Sisters Inn, located near the center of town, across the street at the southeast corner of The Chapel. If you're seeking a more permanent locale to rest your weary head, there's a house for sale at the center of town, directly behind and to the east of the Five Claws Lodge.

Both the Mages Guild and the Fighters Guild have guild halls in Leyawiin, which are located on the town square in the southwest corner of the city. The Blackwood Company, a mercenary fighting company competing with the Fighters Guild for work, is also located on the town square near the Mages Guild and the Fighters Guild halls. The Blackwood Company is aggressively competing with the Fighters Guild on both price and service, and is giving the Fighters Guild a run for their money.

One of the more unusual feature of Leyawiin can be found in the southwestern corner of the city. There in a nicely landscaped plaza is a statue dedicated to Torval the Pilot, an Altmer explorer who charted the sea lanes around Tamriel in the First Era, and was responsible for the discovery of the Niben River.
