Wendelbek (Oblivion)

Wendelbek is a large, multi-level elven ruin in eastern Cyrodiil. Located quite off the beaten path, it can be found by heading east from Bravil across the Niben Bay, following the Panther River until you hit Black Dog Camp. Once at the camp, head east-northeast. Wendelbek lies on the edge of the Panther River. If you find Leafrot Cave, you've gone too far.

Outside a necromancer's altar awaits sacrifice. And inside, despite its cavernous chambers and long, winding hallways, Wendelbek is fairly devoid of enemies. There are some necromancers and their summoned undead. There are plenty of ayleid casks, Welkynd Stones and chests to find good loot. Even a couple of Varla Stones are present.

Lush like most of the Nibenay Basin, Wendelbek has an variety of abundant plants. Foxglove are scattered thoughout the ruins in strong numbers, a clump of Dragon's Tongue is hidden among the extensive above ground structures. A couple of Domica Redwort, some Green Stain Cup and a few Summer Bolete are on the edges.

Rooms
The area inside Wendelbek is vast and extends through four levels.

 * There is a small remotely opening door that is filled with three zombies. It is possible to shoot arrows through the hole in the middle of the door without the zombies detecting you, making them easy to kill using sneak attacks repeatedly. Near the door, there is a secret door next to it, only opening after going to the last room.

 * There are several lowered staircases which can be raised by the button in the middle of the room, below the raised platform.
 * In the middle of the room on the raised platform, there's a Varla Stone near the necromancer.
