Nerastarel's House is a derelict manor in the northern half of Skingrad. [edit]

It is located between Lazare Milvan's house and Summitmist Manor and is home to leveled undead.

The only point of note is a hidden jewelery box located on the top floor. It is located above the doorway, hidden in much the same manner as the note in Rosethorn Hall. It is protected by a leveled lock and may contain:

• One guaranteed piece of leveled jewelry
• One other piece of leveled jewelry (50% chance)
• One piece of enchanted jewelry (10% chance)
• One potion (10% chance)

The box does not respawn.

No explanation is ever given to the presence of undead in the house and no NPC named Nerastarel exists in the game. No citizens of Skingrad ever make any mention of the house or its missing owner (except Amusei during the Thieves Guild quest Lost Histories), so it is assumed that no one knows about the undead inside. Although the interior of the house seems abandoned and ruined, there is no sign of any it being abandoned from the outside, with the exception of the tree in the backyard, which looks dead, toppled and burnt.

Behind the house is a well which is where you will find the book Lost Histories of Tamriel during the Thieves Guild quest Lost Histories.
