Fort Magia is located in the Heartlands region, east of the Imperial City on the Red Ring Road, south of the Blue Road heading towards Cheydinhal. It is a three-level undead tomb with lots of water and a large number of slaughterfish. It contains an undead boss and two boss chests on the bottom level.
The fort lays open to elements, and its upper levels have eroded away with time. A number of ancillary ruins lay about the area that have a small number of plants growing around them.
Preparation for exploration
Exploration of Fort Magia will include water exploration (with slaughterfish) and encounters with the undead. Exploring under these conditions will be done most efficiently if equipped with at least the following items or skills:
- A piece of equipment with Water Breathing or
- If the Go Fish quest has been completed, the Jewel of the Rumare (which grants the water-breathing ability)
- A shock damage skill or weapon since the slaughterfish are particularly susceptible to shock damage
- A silver, enchanted or if possible a Daedric weapon for fighting the wraiths and other undead

Ingredients
Fort Magia (Main)
The first level is a dungeon with the following:
Enemies
- Leveled Undead
- Leveled slaughterfish
Notable items
- Three random loot chests (two of which yield restoration items)
Fort Magia Memorials
The entrance to the second level (Fort Magia Memorials) is underwater. This level starts with a rather long underwater corridor, and air will be reached only after making it past, or fighting off, a couple of slaughterfish. Rushing to the air is possible but may not be wise for stealth builds. If adequately prepared, underwater looting is possible (although picking locks and taking loot is done in pause-time). It's also wise to check the underwater niches in the sides of pools/halls for chests. It is not recommended to use a bow.
