Castle Dour

"'My Castle. Made of stone, and beautiful throughout. A staple of medieval architecture.'""~Emperor Titus Mede II"Castle Dour is the main castle in all of Skyrim, and houses the Emperor of Tamriel. It is one of the largest structures in the entire province. The castle is also home to General Tullius, commander of the Imperial Legion.

Throne Room
The Throne Room is a wing of Castle Dour, and is where the Emperor of Tamriel resides. Lavishly furnished, the Throne area contains many valuable items.

When getting inside the interior, one will end up in the Emperor's dining room with another locked door.

Against the west wall of the audience chamber is a narrow wooden table with a stone bowl containing a bunch of lavender. To the left are stairs leading up to a passage with a door ahead and the passage turning to the left. The passage overlooks the room below. At the far end is the dining room. The room at the other end of the passage is the Emperor's sleeping quarters and contains a large four-posted double bed coming out from the southwest corner, with a long unlocked chest for the Emperor at the foot of the bed and an end table to the right with a common book on top. Against the west wall is a small wardrobe with a candlestick, and a green and two red apples on top. There is a chair against the north wall and a wooden bench and wash basin against the west wall. Against the south wall is another bench, a narrow table to the left and beside this a corner unit. Opposite this is a dressing area containing two tall wardrobes containing fine clothes.

Once entering the main area, one will be met with a large stone room with Imperial banners along the wall.
