Ald ' ruhn is the district seat of House Redoran , and one of the largest settlements on Vvardenfell . The three principal districts are Ald ' ruhn town , Ald ' ruhn - under - Skar , and Buckmoth Fort . Ald ' ruhn town is a large settlement in the Redoran village style , built of local materials , with organic curves and undecorated exteriors inspired by the landscape and by the shells of giant native insects . Most guildhalls , cornerclubs , and merchants are sited in the southwest corner of town , convenient to West Gate and the strider port , while the Temple is located on high ground to the east , and surrounded by a residential section . Ald ' ruhn - under - Skar is the most distinctive architectural feature of Ald ' ruhn - - a manor and council district sheltered beneath the shell of an ancient extinct giant crab . The large carapace encloses a central dome , from which radiate the entrances to the Redoran Council chambers , the manors of the Redoran councilors , and shops of a few upscale merchants . Buckmoth Fort is the Imperial legion garrison for the district . The strong walls and towers of this Western fortress lies a short distance to the south of Ald ' ruhn town , through South Gate behind the Mages Guild . Services . House Redoran services are in the Council House and Councilor ' s Manors of Ald ' ruhn - Under - Skar . The Ald ' ruhn Temple on the east side of town provides service for Temple . Buckmoth Fort offers services to the Imperial Legion and devotees of the Imperial cult , including an Imperial cult altar . The guildhalls of the Fighters Guild and Mages Guild are near the South Gate . Pricy but high - quality clothier , alchemist , and enchanter shops are under Skar as well . Commodities at reasonable prices , but with smaller selections , are available from the smith , clothier , trader , pawnbroker , and bookseller near the entrance to Ald ' ruhn - Under - Skar . The Ald Skar Inn and the Council Club cornerclub are found to the west , near West Gate and the silt strider port . The Rat in the Pot cornerclub is in south Ald ' ruhn , near the guildhalls .

Goren Andarys is the guild steward of the Morag Tong , whose guildhall is found in Ald ' ruhn - Under - Skar . Travel and Transportation . Roads lead northwest to Maar Gan and Gnisis villages and by a circuitous western route to Caldera , Balmora , and points south . The road to Balmora swings northwest to avoid the barren wastes , and curves around towards the west until it heads south again to Caldera . Between Ald ' ruhn and Caldera are many sidepaths ; watch for signposts , or you ' ll get lost . The silt strider port is along the western town wall , north of West Gate . Silt strider service goes from Ald ' ruhn to Balmora , Gnisis , Khuul , or Maar Gan . . Guild guides at the Mages Guild teleport you to Balmora , Vivec City , Caldera , and Sadrith Mora for a modest fee . Gnaar Mok is a LONG and exceptionally unpleasant walk west to the coast and then south ; there are no trails or marked routes . Casual travelers ill - equipped for the attacks of wild beasts and brigands should keep to the roads and travel services .
