Karndar Watch (or Kardnar Watch)[1] is an ancient village located in the Diren Valley region of Summerset, within the province of the Summerset Isles. Karndar Watch is a small but historic settlement, as it is the origin of the Laws of Karndar Watch, created in ME 1180. The laws are ancient and very comparable to the ones established by the Dwemer in the northeast.[2]

By the year 2E 582, Karndar Watch had become a derelict ruined settlement. Though one of the main roads on the island led up to it, it received little contact from the populace outside of worshipers who'd set up shrines at the ruins and the occasional traveling merchant.[3][4] The grounds were overrun by imps and an indrik inhabited the area.[3] The settlement was still marked on maps during the Tiber War, but it is unknown if it was re-inhabited by that time.[1]

By the Imperial Simulacrum in the late Third Era, Karndar Watch was once again an active settlement, being ruled by Lady Zenosara. It had a rivalry with Silsailen Point.[5] It was neighbored by several settlements, one of them being Cloudrest in the west, and was located across the sea from Belport Run.[6]

Notes[edit]

  • Cut map files from ESO: Summerset indicate that Karndar Watch extended far deeper underground than the small exterior would suggest, including an underground cavern with numerous elven structures.[UOL 1]
