User:Tovenam/Skyrim:Unmarked Places
The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995
Despite it being in my userspace, I encourage other users to add any relevant information to this page- it's still a long way from completion and it needs a lot more work!--Tovenam 02:21, 6 July 2012 (UTC) |
This page has been officially launched as Unmarked Places. |
A template for a future Unmarked Places page for Skyrim. I'm putting together a compendium of any locations of importance which do not have map markers on Skyrim's world map. So far, I have only explored Whiterun Hold and Falkreath Hold for unmarked locations, so more will be coming soon! Please feel free to add more unmarked locations to this page.
The reason I have created this in my user space is because the list is far from being complete and I'm still not entirely certain of what would be the best layout for the page. Any input/criticisms/recommendations would be much appreciated.
