Heart's Grief

Heart's Grief is Molag Bal's palace in his plane of Coldharbour, and serves both as a fortress and a temple to himself. No place is more feared in all of Coldharbour. Chock full of Daedric troops and monsters of all sorts, the Prince himself resides behind its walls.

Within the palace vestibule lies a number of daises and altars, where Molag Bal strings up those who have personally displeased him for all to see. It is here that those who evoke his ire are tortured for his entertainment. A statue to himself sits in the entryway, surrounded by burning corpses and cold fire braziers. In the back of the hall lies the Path of Woe, a corridor full of mechanisms forged of cold ebon-iron that leads to his courtyard and seat of power, the Seat of Tyranny.

The Path ends at the Shattered Temple, a structure that looks to be a temple reminiscent of those devoted to the Divines on Nirn. Of course, this section is dilapidated, seemingly a mocking parody of the mortal worship of the Aedra. The Blighted Causeway and the Broken Court follow, leading into the Garden of Ruin, where Molag Bal was famously defeated by the Vestige in 2E 582.

Notes

• Daedra invading the White-Gold Tower claimed that the "two Thrones" now belonged to Molag Bal and would be joined, referring to the Ruby Throne and Seat of Tyranny.
• While the Lightless Oubliette serves as a replica of the White-Gold Tower in Coldharbour, another tower resembling both structures exists in Heart's Grief.
