Fanacasecul was an Ayleid settlement located on the southwestern shore of Lake Rumare, in the Heartlands of Cyrodiil.

History

At the height of the Ayleid Empire, Fanacasecul was a pleasure garden of the Ayleids. Above ground was a delight of flowering trees and plants, pleasing to the eye and nose. Below ground were saunas and torture chambers, where the Ayleids would amuse themselves with the torture of human slaves.

At some point, an Ayleid sculptor crafted a statue and magically bound the spirit of his rival to it. This talking statue was a source of much amusement for the Ayleids for many years, much to the torment of the spirit trapped within. The statue went on to outlast Ayleid civilization itself, and Fanacasecul fell into ruin after the Alessian Slave Rebellion of the early First Era.

By 2E 582, all that remained of the enchanted statue was a broken pillar, to which the Ayleid spirit still remained bound. The statue lamented its ruined and vandalized state, and would beseech passersby to help restore it to its full glory. The subterranean passages of Fanacasecul were sealed at this time.

By 3E 433, the enchanted statue had been restored. The exterior of the ruins were used as a campsite by bandits who preyed on travellers along the Red Ring Road, while the subterranean passages swarmed with undead.
