Arkngthand

Not to be confused with Irkngthand or Arkngthamz.

Arkngthand is a large Dwemer Ruin found in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.

DescriptionEdit

It is located in the Molag Amur region, on the island of Vvardenfell. The towers of the ruins can be seen above ground, but most of the maze-like structure is underground. There are many different sections within, some have pools of lava running through them. The upper part of the building is inhabited by bandits, and the locked, lower level is guarded by Dwemer Animunculi and Dwarven Spectres.

TriviaEdit

• The entrance is opened by a nearby crank handle which moves the spherical door shield. This aspect is also present in the final dungeon of the main quest line, the Citadel of Dagoth Ur. Dagoth Ur uses the exact same mechanism to enter it during "The Citadels of the Sixth House."
• If the Nerevarine is unable to unlock the lower levels of Arkngthand, Hasphat Antabolis will propose to give a key after completion of the quest Antabolis Informant. This will allow for further exploration and access to several rare Dwemer artifacts (weapons, armor, etc.).
• Weepingbell Hall is a reference to Weepinbell from the popular video game, trading card, anime and manga series "Pokémon."
