Cheydinhal Castle

Cheydinhal Castle is on top of a hill in the northeast of Cheydinhal. It is the seat of the Count of Cheydinhal, Count Andel Indarys.

The Castle is composed of the Cheydinhal Castle County Hall, Cheydinhal Castle Great Hall, Cheydinhal Castle Private Quarters, and the Cheydinhal Lord's Private Quarters. The tower in the southwest corner of the Castle's courtyard houses the Cheydinhal Castle Guard Barracks and the Cheydinhal Castle Dungeon.

The County Hall

Cheydinhal Castle County Hall[edit]

The entrance to the county hall reveals a lavish entrance with flowering gardens throughout. A total of fifty-six fly amanita mushrooms can be found in these indoor gardens. The stairs opposite the entrance lead into a hallway with a doorway opposite into the throne room and a door at the west end of the hallway into a small bedroom. A crate containing clutter and two food barrels sit next to the door. The westernmost of the two beds against the south wall belongs to Ra'qanar. The eight sacks in this room all contain clutter, as does the crate on the north wall with a loaf of bread sitting on top. The three barrels on the north wall hold food, and the chest of drawers in the northwest corner contains clothing.

The throne room features two thrones on a dais at the north end of the room. In the northeast corner of the room, two barrels hold food next to a clutter chest. The sack on the floor in the corner, the two on the bookshelf, and the one on the table also contain clutter. In the northwest corner of the room, another clutter sack sits between two bookshelves, and four gold pieces sit on the table. The stairs on the east and west ends of the room lead up to a balcony along the north wall. The door on the west end of the balcony leads to the Great Hall, and the door on the east end of the balcony leads to the private quarters.

The Great Hall

The entrance to the Great Hall leads into a hallway with a door on the west end and a door on the south side. A barrel and sack sit in the corner; both hold only clutter.

Five of the seven barrels in this room also hold clutter; the two on top of crates hold food.

The door on the south wall of the hall leads into a large dining room. Four indoor gardens surround the dining table in the middle room. Along with the garden in the adjacent meeting room, fifty-eight fly amanita mushrooms grow here. The table is set for eight with fourteen strawberries, nine apples, five pieces of boar meat, three cheese wedges, two loaves of bread, two carrots, and an ear of corn.

The door in the southwest corner of the room leads into a meeting room, with two chairs and two benches surrounding a small table upon which sits three apples, three cheese wedges, a cheese wheel, two bottles of Tamika's West Weald Wine, and a bottle of Surilie Brothers Wine.

Notes[edit]

  • As a memorial to the deceased countess, a bouquet of flowers sits on the unoccupied throne in the County Hall. If the player chooses to sit in that seat, the bouquet will be displaced and may fly some distance away.
    • PC Only This issue has been addressed by the Unofficial Oblivion Patch; it assigns an owner to the throne, meaning you can no longer sit on it.
