The Great Forest

Ione is a small village in the province of Cyrodiil, a short distance southeast of the village of Pell's Gate.

It was established at the end of the Oblivion Crisis, and is named after Imperial Legion Captain Tertius Ione. In the center of town are the large, ivy covered ruins of an Oblivion Gate. This gate opened in the middle of Captain Ione's Legion encampment. He and his men went into the gate, but were never heard from again until a Bosmer soldier closed the gate and appeared in the forest weeks later. He had been driven insane, and died days after he was recovered.

During Captain Ione's absence, a few of the legionaries who stayed behind in the camp built what were originally intended to be temporary buildings. Instead, a town grew up around them. It is filled with structures made of rotting wood, but is still a favorite town of Crown Prince Attrebus, who inherited a hunting lodge there.
