Dear Road Administration of Gideon,

I was wandering back to Leyawiin from a business meeting in Murkmire when I noticed suddenly a concerning structure blocking the road.

I was not informed of any changes or upcoming construction projects on this road, and upon asking several other merchants from the area, I was told they also were not informed in any way of this matter.
Such a big undertaking should ideally always be first discussed and approved by the citizens as a whole through democratic process; but, at the very least it should without question be approved by the local Merchant Committee of Gideon. This kind of unannounced roadwork can be incredibly detrimental to the efficiency of our interregional trade routes! Furthermore, it damages the reputation of Blackwood as an influential trade figure in the eyes of reputable merchants all over Tamriel.

The material of the structure seems to be completely and utterly intangible, and with Ayleid influence. If this is the result of some secret experiments by some of the local magisters, then I have to express not only my displeasure with, but also my concern of the allowance of these kinds of activities in our region with no trace of preapproval.

In the name of the Trade Association of Blackwood & Gideon, we request to be informed and polled regarding projects of this size, especially if they would be affecting our day to day business.


Attached to this letter is an accurate painting representing the situation.

    Looks like a quicksand area, the structure must be sinking, eh?

    I noticed this too. It was weird, I was riding down the road and it all looked normal, then everything sort of flickered and I was in the middle of an Ayleid ruin with no collision. It looks very out of place and the road goes right through it so I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be there, but I have no idea how it happened.

    I did submit a bug report, but because of the way the menu works I couldn't include a decent screenshot or show the map, just describe it's location relative to nearby landmarks. Hopefully bug reports automatically log your position.

    (I'm not sure why they include the option for a screenshot, because you can only have 1 menu open at a time and the camera is forced in close to your character it's not going to be relevant unless it's about your character's appearence.)

    I agree and would say this was due to some wizardly shenanigans. I've done some asking around and for some adventurers the structure is continuously visible coming upon it on the road, but for this soldier in the clip, it suddenly appears over his head. If it doesn't actually physically maim citizens by crushing since it's intangible, it'll most certainly cause some type of mental trauma by shock.

    Isn't this why we pay adventurers literally several hundreds of gold?

    They're supposed to be stopping the plane melds!

    Found another one, on the road north from Blackwood Crossroads Wayshrine, not far from the pond with the wispmothers.

    They're multiplying, more of a threat than Mehrunes Dagon ever was.

    I ran into this tonight, the exact one in the OP. I thought it was weird as well, I just rode around it, but it felt very odd to be in the middle of the road, definitely out of place.
