Narfinsel (or Narsinfel) is an Ayleid ruin located deep in the Great Forest of Cyrodiil, southeast of Chorrol.

History[edit]

In the late Merethic Era, an event known as the Narfinsel Schism marked the beginning of a violent internal conflict among the Ayleid city-states of Cyrodiil. This conflict between the Aedra-worshipping Barsaebics and the Daedra-worshipping Daedraphiles reached a climax in 1E 198 at the Scouring of Wendelbek, which ended all organized opposition to Daedra worship. However, the Alessian Slave Rebellion began less than fifty years later, forcing most Ayleids to flee Cyrodiil or perish at the hands of the Nedes. Narfinsel subsequently fell into ruin.

Following the Soulburst of 2E 578, the ruins of Narfinsel became haunted by dangerous ghosts. One such ghost was a guard captain named Captain Minwe who perished at the ruins. Circa 2E 582, her friend Lliae the Quick continually sent Alliance War soldiers to the ruins to put her spirit to rest. Her efforts proved fruitless, as Minwe's ghost would always return after a time. The Rock Bone Tribe also attempted to take over the ruins and fought against the spirits of the Ayleid ghosts.

By 3E 433, the ruins had been taken over by monsters from the wilderness.
