==Background==
Greymoor Caverns is an expansive section of Blackreach constituting much of the subterranean area of Hjaalmarch and Haafingar. The caverns were originally occupied by the Dwemer prior to their disappearance, as evident by the many structures and animunculi left behind. Now, the caverns are home to Falmer and the vampires of the Gray Host, among various other creatures. Much of the caverns' landscape, like the rest of Blackreach, is open and expansive, covered in mist and fog throughout. Bioluminescent biota, including giant mushrooms, are prevalent, providing ambient hues of blue, cyan and purple lighting.
Arkthzand Cavern is a smaller section of Blackreach than the ajoining Greymoor Caverns, and constitutes the subterranean area of Skyrim's Reach.Events of Since their arrival in Skyrim and settlement of the lands around the Karth River, the Reachmen have claimed the caverns as their sacred land, despite the dangers left behind following the dissapearance of the cavern's original inhabitant's, the Dwemer.Loading screen for Arkthzand Cavern in
