- The Mephalan Vales are a complex maze of canyons often wreathed with fog, which even the high ideals of the Tribunal have failed to fully penetrate. The local Indoril rulers lack a unified vision and feud with each other, while ancient forces continue to spin their plots unseen. This treacherous terrain of the Vales forms a natural northern border to the territories of House Indoril. Winding paths connect the fortresses of Ammar and Akamora, while ghosts, outlaws and worse dwell in hidden valleys and in the ruins of Dun Akafell. — Tamriel Rebuilt
