Buraniim Isle is a small island in central Auridon, located off the coast from the town of Mathiisen. It is home to Buraniim, the ruin that was once part of the greater Buraniim Sea-Complex built by the Ancients from which the isle gets its name.[1][2][3]

At some point during or after the early Merethic Era the site of Buraniim was built on the isle by the Ancients, the ancestors of the Auridon Altmer. It was once a hub and presumably a part of a larger structure and a sea-complex that extended out into the sea. Over the years, during the times of the outburst of the Thrassian Plague the complex was abandoned and as of 2E 582 it was primarily used as a retreat from the city life in nearby Skywatch. Errinorne Isle was once part of this complex.[2]

The ruins were briefly reoccupied in 2E 582 by the Worm Cult and the Daedric minions of Molag Bal, acting as a lair within which the Daedra could sacrifice mortal souls to fill the Mortuum Vivicus. They were also making preparations to construct a Dark Anchor in the isle. This was discovered by the scholar and author, Fenlil the Wayfarer who intended to inform the local authorities about this. It is unknown however if he succeeded in this endeavor.[2] The Daedra were swiftly purged from island, however by the Fighters Guild, which was under the effective control of Meridia at the time.[4]
