Cheydinhal

[josefsollerer]

Cheydinhal is a city in eastern Cyrodiil whose architecture and culture contains heavy Dunmer influence, due to its close proximity to Morrowind's border. Located in the foothills between the Valus and Jerall Mountains, Cheydinhal sits on the northeast edge of the Nibenay Basin, a river valley of tributaries to Lake RuFirst Seede and the Niben River.


The City of Cheydinhal

Cheydinhal consists of three districts: Cheydinhal Castle, First Seedket, and Chapel. The dominating feature of the city is a tributary of the Corbolo River, which bisects the city from north to south. The river is crossed by three bridges: a single bridge to the north connects the First Seedket district to the Chapel district, while two smaller bridges south connect the southwest plaza and Chapel via a small island park. The current Count is Andel Indarys of House Hlaalu.


Cheydinhal Castle

Cheydinhal Castle is the home of Count Andel Indarys. Situated at the top of a hill overlooking the rest of the city, it dominates the northern quarter of Cheydinhal. The Castle Barracks is located west of the castle's plaza and houses both the local guards and the city's dungeons.


First Seedket District

The West Gate serves as Cheydinhal's main entry point from the Blue Road, and here a weary traveler will find both of the city's inns as well as a bookstore, general goods trader and a smithy. South of the First Seedkets, along the western bank of the river, the Fighters Guild and Mages Guild stand along with a few of the city's residences.


Chapel District

The eastern half of Cheydinhal lies on the opposite bank of the river, dominated by the Chapel of Arkay and holds most of the city's residences. Hidden beneath an abandoned home is a sanctuary of the Dark Brotherhood. The East Gate near the Chapel opens to a few mountain trails leading into both the Jerall Mountains north and the Valus Mountains east.


County Cheydinhal

County Cheydinhal is rugged territory that contains river valleys and mountain ranges in close proximity to each other. The eastern half of the towering Jerall Mountains stand just to the north of Cheydhinal, but the Valus Mountains southeast of the city are considerably harder to scale due to the steep slopes and lack of established trails. Spreading south and west of Cheydinhal, the terrain of the Nibenay Basin is still hilly due to the carving actions of the rivers and lakes in the region. The Blue Road runs west of Cheydinhal, connecting it to the rest of Cyrodiil through the Red Road encircling Lake RuFirst Seede. Various farming communities and settlements lie within the county, the largest being Harlun's Watch just south of the city walls. A much newer farming community, Cropsford, lies south-southwest of Cheydinhal. The lonely abode of Drakelowe, on the east bank of the Reed River south of Cheydinhal, is the home of whom is rumored to be a witch of the Glenmoril coven.

The Dark Brotherhood

The Dark Brotherhood resides in this city at the Abandoned House (see map). Rumor has it that Count Andel Indarys knows about its existence, but threats and bribes from the Dark Brotherhood have managed to keep the Count quiet. See Joining the Dark Brotherhood for more information.
