Sundered Towers and surrounding ruins

Sundered Towers is a small pair of linked ruined Nordic towers inhabited by Forsworn and Hagravens.

They are found at the top of a series of stone staircases and winding paths, interspersed with landings inhabited by Forsworn camped at Red Eagle Redoubt.

Sundered Towers

The entrance is a level-locked iron door which can be unlocked with the Red Eagle Tower key carried by the Forsworn Briarheart for Red Eagle Redoubt who is located near the towers. Inside are a copy of The Legend of Red Eagle and a random pair of gauntlets on a sideboard opposite. There is a flight of stairs up to the right leading to a doorway outside to a wooden ramp up to the next level, where there are a raised wooden bridge on the right and a doorway to the left. Just inside on the right is a chain that lowers the bridge. At the back of the room behind a flight of wooden stairs is an urn, while the stairs lead up to another level with even more stairs up to the highest level; both of these levels are empty.

Once you have lowered the wooden bridge, you may cross to a second tower to the east. On the far side are a doorway ahead and a wooden ramp down to the left. Through the door the room contains a novice-locked chest and a flight of wooden stairs leading up, with another flight above these leading to the top; again, these levels are both empty. Descending via the ramp brings you to a doorway with a broken sideboard opposite holding a random potion of magicka and a random empty soul gem. There are also stairs leading down on the right as you enter. At the bottom is a pile of rubble with a random potion among it, with an iron door opposite which is secured by a bar on this side preventing entrance from the other side.

Notes

• This location cannot be independently cleared. It will only show up as such when the boss-level creatures in Red Eagle Redoubt have been killed, as the game considers these zones one unit for the purpose of calculating clears.
  • Sundered Towers itself will never add to your count of cleared locations, and therefore does not contribute to the Delver achievement.

Bugs

• The key might not be on the corpse of the Briarheart.
