Need Help Identifying Background

TheGamerSeal

Would anyone have a concrete idea of where the preview images for some of the Dark Brotherhood crate items were taken? For personal use, I like to match a mount or pet to a specific location based off its tooltip or background image but I can't seem to pinpoint the location for the following items.

Dark Brotherhood Crew Steed
Dark Brotherhood Durzog
Dark Brotherhood Kagouti
Dark Brotherhood Sabre Cat
Dark Eliminator's Garb

These five items all seem to be in the same location, and based on my knowledge of the game, the building in the background of the Dark Eliminator's Garb appears to be an Argonian structure. And yet, in another, there's an archway that makes me think of Western Skyrim. I'd appreciate any help with this, and maybe pictures if you know the location in question?

ADDITIONAL REQUEST: If anyone can identify the background of the Moorpecker Magpie or Snowclaw Senche-Serval, I'd appreciate that as well.

    Hm...

    Funny thing, my first association was Bleak Falls Barrow (near Riverwood, which is not in the game yet). Had to check it and at least the shape of the pillars is correct:

    I'm not saying that's what it is. I'm just amused about what strange things I keep in mind subconsciously.

    Moorpecker Magpie might be somewhere near Forsaken Citadel.

    The senche-serval looks like it's posed in front of Labyrinthian maybe.

    The apex mounts background could be from shadowfen due to the swamp like nature and the pine trees.

    Dang.
    When did I miss that mount you have pictured?
    :/

    I think there are none of these broken arches (but I'd have to check again):

    This I was focussing on mostly because I don't think they are common. In most of the Nord ruins they are either not broken or it's a different shape altogether, or there are animal/eagle(?) head adornments on them or such.

    No idea where you guys are getting full promotional renders for mounts already, because those are usually what I rely on for figuring out this sort of thing on my own.

    Thanks for the help so far, though!

    Thank you so much!
    I got out of the habit of looking in the box sales, i was looking into mounts (specifically) every week.
