Gallows Hall

Gallows Hall is a necromantic player home in Eastmarch, north of Mara's Eye Pond.

Unique necromancer features include a Bone Forge for creating permanent skeletal undead followers from raw materials, and an Altar of the Revenant which transforms 4 filled or empty Greater or Grand Soul Gems into 4 empty Black Soul Gems. Other useful features include a sleep bed, sleep coffin, cooking pot, anvil, workbench, grindstone, tanning rack, alchemy lab, arcane enchanter, 4 mannequins, 3 weapon plaques, as well as several bookshelves, display cases, storage cabinets, chests, cupboards, and wardrobes.

The home consists of a single zone spread across three circular floors. Design elements include coffins, skeletons, skulls, and bone piles.

ExteriorEdit

The exterior of the home is a simple wall and door just north of Mara's Eye Pond. The top of the tower is built into the rock formation directly behind it.

InteriorEdit

The interior consists of three descending floors, with the entrance at the top. The top floor is an expansive space for crafting, and is the only accessible area until the related quest is complete. It features stations for alchemy, enchanting, smithing and cooking, as well as various storage containers.

The Altar of the Revenant stands in the center of the room. The apprentice necromancer Naara lies dead leaning against the altar, with her notes scattered around her. During the quest to solve the Arch Necromancer's clues and unlock the door, Naara will despawn. The altar converts empty or filled grand or greater soul gems to black soul gems.

The famed Staff of Worms lies on a table on the other side (north) of the Altar, at least until it starts moving as a result of the poltergeist-like enchantments that also seal the exit door.

The smithing area is on the north side of the room, to the east of the staircase and the dining area. Several shelves of materials (4 ebony ingots, 3 gold ingots, 3 iron ingots, 4 orichalcum ingots, 2 quicksilver ingots, 5 refined malachite, 2 refined moonstone, 4 silver ingots, 2 leather and 4 leather strips), a workbench, an anvil and a grindstone are available for use. However, the nearest smelter is in Kynesgrove and the nearest wood chopping block is at Mixwater Mill.

The middle floor is a residential area, and offers multiple storage containers, seating, and both a double bed and an upright coffin available for sleeping. Two bedrolls lie side by side on the floor but neither can be used by you. Three weapon racks and two small bookshelves allow for some easily accessible storage and display. On the right side of the chamber, a small table holds the legendary Helm of Oreyn Bearclaw and the Arch Necromancer's notes about the artifact.

The bottom floor is a small dungeon, reached by winding stairs from either side of the middle floor hallway, and hosts the Bone Forge.

By the end of the related quest, the property will contain 7 empty black soul gems, 7 filled grand soul gems, 2 empty grand soul gems, 1 empty greater soul gem, 2 empty lesser soul gems and 2 empty petty soul gems, making it an exceptional source of free early game soul gems.

BugsEdit

  • Using either the bed or the Coffin may not grant any Rested or Well Rested bonus, despite the appropriate amount of time passing. ?
  • Looting the main room before completing the puzzle completely may stop the progress of the quest altogether, forcing player to reload from their initial entrance. ?
