Mournoth Keep advice

Peacatcher

So I have started to plan my first Necromancer in advance of the new chapter being released. He's a Priest of Arkay but has fallen in with the wrong crowd and now associates with various shady (but 'honest') merchants....

His house is going to be a temple dedicated to the mighty Arkay of course. But it needs to have a few hiding places in case he needs to make a quick exit or hide something from potential visitors or pretend that he isn't at home.

My main requirements for his house are:
Not too big - I'm thinking medium sized at the largest
Plenty of hiding spots, or areas that could be disguised
Doesn't need major structural adjustments although I'm happy to try to add a few false walls etc
Location not important
Workable item limit (have ESO+)

I'm thinking of buying Mournoth Keep for him. Does anyone who owns this house think it would be suitable or can anyone suggest an alternative? I

Thank you!

It’s one of the best houses you can get

It’s orc style for one so very gothic fits necromancer, it classed as classic I think so a decent item limit you can have collectibles of three merchants, pets and couple of mounts easy (can’t remember if busts are collectibles but have few of them on show in the house I do have eso+) and the most important part of this house is it is right next to a Wayshrine so you free port to house leave house go to Wayshrine port to easy to get refuge Wayshrine and clear bounty

My first house and have never regretted it and it’s cheap for a whole lot of house benefits

Maybe its worth holding off a little to see what Frostvault Cavern sells for.
It has a thematic feel that would suit nefariousness.
The central building could easily be converted to a temple structure and one of the side rooms could be concealed to make for an interesting den of depravity!!
Actually.... now you have me really thinking!!
Hmm, looks like I need to go onto the PTS for a few hours

Thank you both, the comments are appreciated! I haven't looked at Frostvault yet, will check it out later today. I like the sound of the side rooms and central area, sounds like there would be useful hiding places.

The Orc style really appeals to me for this one though, the cold hard stone seems quite appropriate for a temple.

The other home I considered was Bouldertree but I couldn't see how I could create a temple there without having to be more creative than I am!

Of course my character is an honest Priest/merchant so will not have a bounty...whatever are you implying...?

Cant go wrong with Mournoth. I have all the houses and it is the only one I use.

Although the Drauger Crypt House would be awesome, but that was a limited time offering I think.

@Nestor , Drauger Crypt House??? when was that? I don't recall this house

I think they mean Hakkvild's High Hall, which was a limited-time manor (has been offered at least twice so far). It definitely has Draugr-style crypts.

EDIT:
I bought Hakkvild's by accident, but luckily its price was reduced at the time.

Peacatcher

Hakkvilds would work well for this character but I'm reserving it for a different one and haven't got enough items to do the place justice. Amazing house though.

Thank you!

Mournoth was the first house I purchased - and is still my favorite. I think it's amazing and has great potential for custom builds. If you want an idea of what you can do, and you're on PC/NA whisp me in game and come visit. @mayasunrising
