Lore:Cheydinhal

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

Cheydinhal is a city in eastern Cyrodiil whose population is mostly of Dunmer origin, due to its close proximity to Morrowind's border. Located in the foothills between the Valus and Jerall Mountains, Cheydinhal sits on the northeast edge of the Nibenay Basin, a river valley of tributaries to Lake Rumare and the Niben River.

[edit] The City of Cheydinhal

Cheydinhal consists of three districts: Cheydinhal Castle, Market, and Chapel. The dominating feature of the city is a tributary of the Corbolo River, which bisects the city from north to south. The river is crossed by three bridges: a single bridge to the north connects the Market district to the Chapel district, while two smaller bridges south connect the southwest plaza and Chapel via a small island park. The current Count is Andel Indarys of House Hlaalu.

[edit] Cheydinhal Castle

Cheydinhal Castle is the home of Count Andel Indarys. Situated at the top of a hill overlooking the rest of the city, it dominates the northern quarter of Cheydinhal. The Castle Barracks is located west of the castle's plaza and houses both the local guards and the city's dungeons.

[edit] Market District

The West Gate serves as Cheydinhal's main entry point from the Blue Road, and here a weary traveler will find both of the city's inns as well as a bookstore, general goods trader and a smithy. South of the markets, along the western bank of the river, the Fighters Guild and Mages Guild stand along with a few of the city's residences.

[edit] Chapel District

The eastern half of Cheydinhal lies on the opposite bank of the river, dominated by the Chapel of Arkay and holds most of the city's residences. Hidden beneath an abandoned home is a sanctuary of the Dark Brotherhood. The East Gate near the Chapel opens to a few mountain trails leading into both the Jerall Mountains north and the Valus Mountains east.

[edit] County Cheydinhal

County Cheydinhal is rugged territory that contains river valleys and mountain ranges in close proximity to each other. The eastern half of the towering Jerall Mountains stand just to the north of Cheydhinal, but the Valus Mountains southeast of the city are considerably harder to scale due to the steep slopes and lack of established trails. Spreading south and west of Cheydinhal, the terrain of the Nibenay Basin is still hilly due to the carving actions of the rivers and lakes in the region. The Blue Road runs west of Cheydinhal, connecting it to the rest of Cyrodiil through the Red Road encircling Lake Rumare.
