The Ceporah Tower is an ancient structure on the Isle of Artaeum, an island originally in the Summerset Archipelago.[1] The Tower serves as the headquarters of the monastic Psijic Order, who call Artaeum home.[2] While parts of the Tower were constructed by the Psijics, its foundations are far older, having an entirely unique architecture, and was built by unknown ancient beings.[3] Directly beneath Ceporah Tower lies the Dreaming Cave, which houses a portal that can be used to travel to any realm of Oblivion;[4] it has been used for this purpose by many, including Sotha Sil—a member of the Dunmer Tribunal—who made a compact with many of the Daedric Princes in the late First Era.[5]
Ceporah Tower is used by the Psijics in many of their rituals,[1] and is known as the location beneath which Vanus Galerion confronted Mannimarco about the latter's increasing fascination with necromancy and soul-trapping.[6] It was this confrontation that led directly to the founding of the Mages Guild.
Architecture[edit]
Many of the persistent enchantments in the Ceporah Tower can be modulated by Control Globes if one has the years of experience and delicate touch required.[7] The material the tower is constructed from is unknown but suspected to be coral or something similar.[UOL 1]
History[edit]
The bottom base structure of the tower was already present when Artaeum was first discovered. It is unknown who built it,[3] but it was certainly not the elves,[UOL 1] and is presumed to have been made by ancient beings as it isn't known to match any other ruins found within Summerset.[3]
The Sload lay claim to Summerset[8] and the oldest ruins on the island are made of coral, suggesting they had inhabited the area long ago.[9]
