Vitharn is a ruined village at the southern middle of Madgod's Boot in Shallow Grave (quest-related). [edit] It contains five zones: Vitharn Sump, Vitharn Reservoir, Vitharn Keep, Vitharn's Mausoleum, and Vitharn Bailey

Vitharn was overrun by its own brethren three generations after its founding, and because of the cowardice, inaction, and incompetence displayed by the defenders, the ghosts of the residents were cursed by Sheogorath to relive their battle over and over for eternity.

Notes

• Two test zones related to this ruin did not make it into the final game. "XPVitharn" is the console code for an entirely empty zone, while "XPVitharn05" leads to an Ayleid Ruin-like zone with no exits.
• This settlement contains 3 Root Stalk plants and 24 Withering Moon plants.
• A small graveyard stands in a corner of Vitharn Bailey. Some of the citizens have tombstones there and their inscriptions may be read in a similar way to those in New Sheoth Graveyard.
