Ardan's Tomb is a large Ayleid ruin east of Bravil containing Shadow Hunters. It contains four zones: Ardan's Tomb, Ardan's Tomb, Chamber, Ardan's Tomb, Hunter's Realm, and Ardan's Tomb, Lower Level.
ExteriorEdit
- The exterior is located at coordinates: Tamriel 20, 10.
- This location does not have a map marker.
Zone 1: Ardan's TombEdit
From the entrance, go straight through the arches into a large room; you'll see a wall opposite with a plaque in it. This is actually three walls - see The Legacy of Ardan. Once you get through the walls and open the secret door, go through it to start the Trial. After completing that, go through the room with the spiderlings, open the secret door, and go down to Zone 2.
Occupants: 10 spiderlings, 1 spider daedra, 1 skeleton.
Treasure: None
Traps: None
Doors and Gates:
- There are three doors in/out of this zone.
- 1 door leads outside.

- 1 door (locked, key-only) appears after you enter the Room of Trials.
Zone 2: Ardan's Tomb, Lower LevelEdit
Go down the stairs and through the first gate, across the bridge, and through the second gate. It doesn't matter if you go left or right here - both ways end up at the same place. There are two open doors in the opposite side of the room; take the one on the right (the left leads to a dead-end room) and go through the door to the next zone.
