Fort Homestead circa 3E 433

Homestead Ruins circa 2E 582

Fort Homestead (also called the Homestead Ruins) is a ruined fort located on the southern shore of Lake Rumare, east of the White Rose River in the Heartlands of Cyrodiil. It can be found just off the Red Ring Road, in the region known as the Southwestern Shore. It contains subterranean passages which lead to the Heroes' Hall, a large chamber deep underground.

At the start of the Alliance War of 2E 582, bandits moved into the ruins of Homestead as Legion patrols became less frequent. Eventually the Homestead bandits became emboldened enough to outright attack the settlement of Pell's Gate to the south, which they then occupied and destroyed. A bridge connected the ruins to City Isle at the time, although it was shattered by the Planemeld and subsequently put under heavy guard by Daedra. The ruins were within the territory initially controlled by the Aldmeri Dominion, although none of the participants in the war attempted to capture the fort.

By 3E 433, the fort's underground passages were home to bandits and marauders. No sign remained of the Second Era bridge to City Isle.
