One of the houses in Wayrest is haunted. Not like ghost NPC but like actual creepypasta haunted. If you stand around in there with your volume turned up for long enough, you can hear a woman start to cry and sometimes say depressed things.

Funny thing, I actually thought I was having a creepypasta moment when I first saw the ground map. VERY first thing I encountered was a tombstone icon in the middle of a big blank area. Then noticed some writing. I thought maybe it was a memorial to someone who passed during production or something. Eventually I pieced it all together as I discovered more, but that initial moment.

Miscarcand is a large Ayleid ruins between Skingrad and Kvatch. Maybe you found that.

You might be right, the location is about right, and I had thought this when I initially looked at a map, but when I looked for images of the place most of them depicted a wheel and spoke pattern whereas this was square. Revisiting it based on this comment I found this:



Looks like majority of it is a squared pattern. So it very well could be Miscarcand.

Interesting that it has grass and such though. When I found Skingrad, it had a checkered texture floor with a translucent 8-16bit map overlay on it where they were placing stuff.

Here's two screens I hadn't posted previously. These show some of the translucent mapping. Particularly the second one.

that's awesome I want to go there too.

The interesting thing was, the locations matched up with the position on that map. For example, inside Skingrad, you could see writing on the ground for it.

Interestingly, I couldn't find an actual map with the same look as that one. The Arena one is lower quality, Morrowind is too new, and I don't think Daggerfall had Skingrad on the map.

I do wonder what the place you found was. Usually if it it under the map, it is something in a door or whatnot. Occasionally I've seen texture glitches on walls when you went in a building where you could see people running around above, of at the door in the big boneyard in grahtwood you could see people below in the cave area.

in this link forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/122819/written-for-the-gods-or-maybe-even-extraterrestrials#latest is the post I made back when we were having huge lag spikes I got to the huge island southwest of Auridon And found some really cool stuff.

OOH I missed that when you posted it. That is rather intriguing. As you mentioned in that thread, it was lag spikes and weird disconnects which allowed me to find Skingrad. For a long while I was actually nervous to post it wondering if I would get in trouble. Bit by bit no one said anything about it and I know they monitor the threads, so I figure if they had a problem they would have said something by now.

I can't find where I posted my others, so I'll just reshare them with you here. Who knows maybe we can get a bunch of people to share places like this.









I also found a random ruins nearby Skingrad. It's been a while since I played Oblivion, but I really don't know what these are.

that's really epic.



Astrid needs to be started for locations like this everybody should share their pictures and where they were when they were taken and we should probably tag at least one mod in the original post to try to get some developer feedback on these.

there's just way too much weird stuff like this in the game not to get some feedback.

It would be awesome to get developer feedback, but I highly doubt it. We can barely get them talking about CONFIRMED content, let alone random bits like this.

Did you see the thread not to long ago with the houses that are fenced and you can only get in the fence by some crafty jumping. In the thread it was speculated guild housing, DB safe houses, and a few other things. There seems to be one in each alliance.

That particular one is Fyrelight Cave

Wow this is the most significant thread I've every seen on this forum. Congrats!

Oh, and I'm deeply infatuated with your clock and map mods. Which ones are those?

I got knocked through the floor in Normal Wayrest one time. (Boss that does the whirlwind attack) and found myself in a similar desert-like environment.

I could see hills, valleys and structures. I could watch the entire rest of the fight, from under the floor, though I could be on no assistance.

Is anyone else looking at the floor thinking "Where are all the chess pieces?!"....

danno816_ESO wrote: »

You guys should prepare yourselves for the possibility that these places are not "leftover" content or "future" content, but rather places that you are not suppose to access, thus confusing the game.

So when you reach these areas, the game ends up loading information from various other areas of the world and gluing it all together, kind of like the "Secret Worlds" in the original Metroid.

If you want to take a couple minutes...
http://www.metroid-database.com/m1/met-map.php

I actually watched a bunch of the metroid things last night after a comment about it.. then mario... and a few others. I don't think gluing is the case here. In the case of old 8bit games what happened is the player went out of bounds contained in one sector and it was forced to load something, so it pulled in whatever it could access quickly.

In most modern games particularly TES games, if you engage a fly mode and no collision, you can see other actual rooms in a dungeon or other such thing below the floor or above the ceiling. The areas are created within large 3d cubes. Even if you go outside of this box, typically all you get it unending nothing. In early TESO falling through the floor was common, and infinite. It didn't load scape code to have a place to fall to.

In the case of my finding Skingrad and the other places, these were beyond where the slaughter fish attack, but clearly from the images within the edge of the x plane. if you walk off that edge, you will still infinite fall. It probably should be noted, all the images I posted were in the same area from the same time.

The ground map actually would suggest this area was intentionally being designed as the placement of the locations were sat right upon their correct placement on the map.

@IrishGirlGamer‌

The clock skin is Harven's Dwemer Clock:
http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info642-HarvensDwemerClock.html

It's designed to work with Clock- Tamriel Standard Time which shows either real time or ingame time:
http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info241-Clock-TamrielStandardTime.html

The mini-map is MiniMap by Franklin:
http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info605-MiniMapbyFyrakin.html

@Tyx and a few others I think did A LOT of research, math, and such to get the Tamriel standard time down. They determined a standard day is 5.83hrs real time even though apparently ZOS said a day was supposed to be a little less than 5hrs. From what I've seen, this clock has remained consistent in timing. The real trick is synchronizing it properly.

Harven's Dwemer clock actually moves, it is a bit on the large side, but it's pretty cool.


The MiniMap has undergone a little cosmetic change(those pics were many months ago), but is still mostly the same, and can be changed around in the settings I think.

If you don't hear anything after a little while, try re-logging in the house, but I'm not joking/trolling, you can actually hear someone crying/saying things occasionally.

EDIT: If you are DC/NA server, I'll take you there myself, lol

I'm actually not on DC/NA anymore. I used to have a DC char but I never played it. I have two EP char that are there in the VR levels. I did hear something that sounded like crying at one point under the music, but didn't hear any speaking except as a part of the music and it wasn't sad like the crying. In true ghost hunter spirit, I had my char /sleep2 in the bed

It dawned on me after I was done, the name Benele's Home. It suddenly reminded me of Ben Drowned, one of the more popular creepypastas.

I was traveling due north of the Bergama Wayshrine and maybe 100 yards away from it or so I fell through the sand and landed in the area pictured

Oh, I don't have my music turned on (I listen to other game soundtracks as my mood decides lol) and I also had to turn my sound way up to hear it properly as well.

Miscarcand & Silorn are the closest ruins to Skingrad. Miscarcand is further along the road toward Kvatch & Anvil.
