Based on what little is known about the Dwarven ruin of Avanchnzel, some scholars of Dwemer architecture believe it must be the outer chambers of a much larger site, access to which is now blocked. The automatons defending the place make it too dangerous to inquire further.

Avanchnzel

Avanchnzel is a Dwemer ruin in the southern Rift, south of Honrich Tower, containing dwarven automatons. There are several bookshelves in the ruin, as well as a lorebook ^{which one?}. A Skyshard can be found in the southwestern chamber, while Thzallek Eft occupies the south hall.

There is a dead Dunmer named Solvar in front of the ruin. If you head through the crevice north of his corpse, you'll find another skyshard, which is guarded by a sleeping bear. A chest can spawn just east of this skyshard.

Layout

A Steam Pipe full of Swarming Dwarven Spiders is located in the middle of the first hallway. A Dwarven Ruin Explorer's Journal is located in the nook just north of the entrance. If you take the path leading east in the first hallway, you'll come across the northern chamber. A chest can spawn in the northeastern corner of this room, behind a Dwarven Centurion and some rubble in a patch where sunlight is filtering in through the ceiling. There's a Steam Pipe south of this chest, in the southeast corner of the room. Another Steam Pipe is located in the hallway leading east from this chamber. This hall leads to the southern chamber.

The boss resides along the northern wall the southern chamber. A Steam Pipe lies on the west side of this room, and a Dwarven Centurion patrols the southern end of the room. The hallway leading west of here brings you to the southwestern chamber. A chest can spawn behind a pillar near the Steam Pipe in the middle of the room, between the east and west sections. The interior skyshard is guarded by a Dwarven Centurion. There are four bookshelves near the skyshard. Heading through the northern hallway brings you back towards the entrance.
