Blackrose

Blackrose is one of the eight major cities in the province of Black Marsh, situated on the southern end of the legendary forest, Murkwood. Blackrose was once a community created by the Lilmothiit, until they were no longer around, though the city is still made entirely from Lilmothiit ruins. The site is known for the Blackrose Prison, perhaps the notorious prison in all of Tamriel.
