Notes

• This ruined fort lies just south of Bravil, on top of a hill next to the road.
• It has been taken over by Fathis Aren, the court wizard of the city of Bravil.
• The main entry is locked and cannot be opened without a key, however, there is another way in. Fathis Aren has a secret passage from the Bravil castle into caverns beneath the city, and the caverns also have an entry into the base of the tower. The key is found on the body of one of the conjurers. In the ruin you will encounter several daedric creatures. Note that if you are a member of the Mages' Guild, you will be banned from it if anyone or anything sees you take the arrow of Extrication.
