Arpenia is a small Ayleid ruin between Bravil and Leyawiin containing animals (quest-related). [edit] It contains only one zone, Arpenia.
[edit] Related Quests
- Azani Blackheart: Help Modryn prove that the Blackwood Company lied about completing a contract to kill Azani Blackheart.
[edit] Notes
- This cave can be entered, fully explored and all items retrieved without starting the related quest. If you do have the quest active, once you reach the marker at M, a quest update wil be triggered.
- This seemingly un-interesting ruin presents one curious feature: some rooms are illuminated by peculiar white crystals, set on the pedestals which usually hold Welkynd Stones.
[edit] Exterior
- The exterior is located at coordinates: Tamriel 27, -24
- This location's map marker (M on map) is named Arpenia (editor name ArpeniaMapMarker). The entrance door is E of the marker, 70 feet away.
- 2 Road Bandits (each 67% probability melee Bandit, 33% archer Bandit) are near the entrance
- The following plants can be found near the entrance: 9 Clouded Funnel Cap plants and 33 Green Stain Cup plants
[edit] Zone 1: Arpenia
Arpenia, while large, is fairly unpopulated. The enemies present are the standard nuisance animals, and the only real danger is therefore posed by the multitude of traps that dot the ruin. Your first taste of what's to come is the Ceiling Spikes trap (C) in the second large room you enter. In the center of the third large room are an Ayleid Cask and a Dark Welkynd Stone (D). Use the walls to protect yourself and dash for the chest when the trap is recharging. Opening the Hidden Door at H by standing on the pressure plate in from of it (cyan dot on map), will give you access to a minor loot chest.
After going through two sets of Swinging Blade traps (G), you will arrive at a room with an intersection. Take the north-west exit and then head right, following the corridor to a minor loot chest. If you go straight, you will find yourself in a room with six Gas Traps (F) and a bridge overhead; at the other end is a corridor leading to yet another minor loot chest. If you backtrack to the original room and take the southwest exit, you will find yourself on the bridge itself. After passing two Falling Blade traps (E) you will gain access to two minor loot chests.
