Ayleid ruins, sometimes referred to as Elven ruins, are the archaeological remains of the settlements of the ancient Elven race, the Ayleids.
As well as a number of random leveled enemies, Ayleid ruins typically contain various traps (such as corridors with swinging blades, poison chambers, and Dark Welkynd Stones), and Ayleid casks filled with random loot.
Below is a list of Ayleid ruins found in Cyrodiil.
