Mackamentain was an Ayleid ruin located next to a lake of the Silverfish River in the eastern Nibenay Basin of Cyrodiil.[1] It was among the only modern Ayleid sites that still bore their ancient names by the time of the Third Era.[2] Its lower sections were referred to as the Tombs of the Undead and the Necromancer's Asylum.[1]

History[edit]

During the Alessian Slave Rebellion, Mackamentain became home to one of the Ten Ancestors, Ayleid statues originally held in the White-Gold Tower which were dispersed to cities across Cyrodiil for safekeeping.[2] Mackamentain subsequently fell into ruin.

Circa 3E 433, the ruins were inhabited by necromancers and zombies. The Hero of Kvatch entered the ruins and retrieved the ancient Ayleid statue, which was later sold to Umbacano.[3]
