Cloud Ruler Temple

Cloud Ruler Temple is a large mountain-top fort inhabited by ghostly Blades, located north of Bruma. It once served as the headquarters of the Blades, but now lies in ruin after it was besieged and destroyed by the Aldmeri Dominion during the Great War.

It contains four zones: Cloud Ruler Temple Great Hall, Cloud Ruler Temple Armory, Cloud Ruler Temple East Wing and Cloud Ruler Temple West Wing.

Walkthrough

Exterior

In the courtyard of the temple you will find a burnt corpse and the skeletal remains of a Blade carrying a worn Akaviri katana, as well as five Clouded Funnel plants, four Wormwood plants, three Cairn Bolete plants, three Milk Thistle Branch plants, three Motherwort Sprig plants, three Tinder Polypore plants and two Nightshade plants.

Cloud Ruler Temple Great Hall

The ruins of the Great Hall

The once great hall of the temple is now in ruins: the wooden ceiling beams have collapsed inwards and all around you will find detritus and overturned furniture. The signs of battle are also evident with a Blades skeleton and Elven arrows littering the floor. At the end of the related quest, Raaslan, Alina and Corvon will all gather round the now-lit great fireplace so that you can free them from their watch.

Cloud Ruler Temple Armory

The Armory is accessed from the East Wing and bears the scars of what must have been a furious fight: two Blades and two Thalmor skeletons can be found here, along with Raaslan's skeleton, with his katana still nearby. Strew across the ground you will also find Glenroy's Akaviri katana, a worn Akaviri katana, a worn Elven sword, a Blades cuirass, gauntlets and boots, as well as two shields and three helmets.

Cloud Ruler Temple East Wing

You can enter the East Wing either from the Great Hall or directly from the courtyard. Similarly to the hall, it is in a state of total ruin, with ruined books, wood detritus and rubble covering the floor. Here you will find Alina's skeleton, her katana, another worn katana and some human bones.

Cloud Ruler Temple West Wing

Similarly, you can enter the West Wing either from the Great Hall or directly from the courtyard. Raaslan will be waiting for you here during the related quest, and Corvon's skeleton, along with his katana, can be found near the door to the Great Hall. In between the collapsed roof beams and rubble you will find an unidentified skeleton, a Thalmor skeleton, a worn Elven sword and a Blades shield. Inside an open chest are a Blades sword and a coin purse.
