Welke circa 3E 433

Welke circa 2E 582

Welke is an Ayleid ruin located along the southern banks of the Panther River, in the northern part of Blackwood of Cyrodiil. Its subsections of Ceyede and Edesel translate to "Shadow-End" and "End-Halls" respectively in Ayleidoon.

During the Alessian Slave Rebellion, Welke 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. Welke subsequently fell into ruin after the Ayleids' downfall.

In 3E 433, the Hero of Kvatch entered the ruins and retrieved the ancient Ayleid statue, which was found in the deepest and smallest chamber of Welke Edesel along with a Varla stone. The entire compound was overrun by undead at the time. The statue was later sold to Umbacano.

Notes

• The Orrery of Elden Root contains the Pillar of Welke, which can be used in conjunction with the Heart of Anumaril to activate the Orrery. It is unknown if the pillar is named after the ruins or simply shares the same Ayleidoon name.
