Leyawiin ( Oblivion ) Leyawiin is a fortified coastal city , capital of County Leyawiin , located in the Blackwood region of southern Cyrodiil . County Lewayiin is nestled around the southern Nibenay Basin , bordered by Black Marsh to the east , Elsweyr to the west , and Topal Bay to the south . Situated on the South Western bank of the Lower Niben Bay , the city of Leyawiin guards the passage up the Niben River from Topal Bay to the Imperial City . Description . Pinned between the bestial provinces of Elsweyr and Black Marsh , the city of Leyawiin guards the vital passage up the River Niben from Topal Bay to the Imperial City . Leyawiin is a mighty fortress , with both tall stone walls and strong garrisons . Leyawiin is a bright , cheerful and prosperous town in the midst of Blackwood swampy wildernesses . It contains wide , bright streets , large , comfortable houses , half - timbered or painted stucco of which many are colorful and not too dirty or weather - worn . Trees and flowering shrubs flourish . Peaceful plazas and ponds for quiet contemplation also adorn the city . Its population is made up significantly from those of Argonian and Khajiit descent and many other peoples making Leyawiin a melting - pot of cultures from throughout the Empire . Climate . Leyawiin receives precipitation often , sometimes occurring daily . This is presumably weather systems coming off Topal Bay . This explains the ponds around town , and why the ground is grass , rather than paved . Count and Countess . Marius Caro is Count Leyawiin and his recent bride ; the lovely and cultivated Alessia Caro , daughter of the righteous and reliable Countess Arriana Valga of Chorrol . The Count and Countess are energetic supporters of Imperialisation and they work tirelessly to bring the traditional values of hard working , chapel going , and law abiding Nibenese Heartland Imperial culture to this frontier outpost . The Chapel of Zenithar , in conjunction with the Count and Countess , are partners in attempting to extend the benefits of Heartland Nibenese culture to the benighted frontier populations of Blackwood and the Lower Niben . Trade and industry are strong in Leyawiin , thanks to the patronage of Zenithar , and notwithstanding , the bandits troubling caravans and travellers along the Green Road through the recently annexed Trans - Niben . People . Not all of the Beastial peoples in Leyawiin are as presentable and industrious as the members of the new competitor with Fighters Guild , the Blackwood Company . Some Argonians and Khajiit are to be seen in the streets at all hours , lounging and gossiping . The town is mostly populated with Khajiit and Argonians as it is on the border between Elsweyr and Black Marsh . Layout . The town itself lies with tall curtain walls on the west bank of the Niben . To the east through two gates lies the inner keep and Castle Leyawiin , straddling the deep channels of the river . The Chapel of Zenithar lies in the northwest , near the West Gate . All the shops , inns , and guilds lie south of the chapel , in the western half of the town , except for a fine bookstore and general trader north of the road traversing the town east - west from West Gate . The residential part of town runs along a single wide north - south boulevard , backed on the east by deep ponds created by impounding one of the meandering channels of the Niben . Shops and guilds . Leyawiin boasts the finest collection of shops and tradesmen in Cyrodiil outside of the Imperial City . Even the craftsman and trainers of the Fighters Guild and Mages Guild are of a certainly higher quality . Something worth mentioning is Southern Books , a bookstore owned by an Orc always stocking multiple copies of A Children ' s Annuad ; a religious book appropriate for those ignorant of the mysteries of the faith and adapted to the meanest understanding . Competitor of the Fighters Guild . Recently , a new competitor of the Fighters Guild , a mercenary hiring hall called the Blackwood Company , has commenced operations here in a striking new building . They are notably staffed exclusively by Khajiit and Argonians and are lead by officers well spoken , polite , and deferential . They aggressively compete with the Fighters Guild for both price and service . Quests . Whom Gods Annoy . People in Leyawiin report strange noises and smells coming from Rosentia Gallenus ' house . She has accidentally acquired the Staff of the Everscamp , which produces a steady population of four scamps to follow the staff - bearer . Mazoga the Orc . Count Marius Caro in Castle Leyawiin wants to know why Mazoga the Orc will not leave his hall . He asks the Hero for help . Knights of the White Stallion . After the Mazoga the Orc quest , the Count will offer another task . The objective here is to locate Black Brugo ' s location and kill him . Mazoga the Orc will accompany the Hero and tell them the location . Tears of the Savior . A Khajiit named S ' drassa asks the Hero of Kvatch to find Garridan ' s Tear s . S ' drassa enjoys collecting crystals , especially those of a magic al nature , and is willing to pay a handsome amount of gold for each Tear recovered .
