Located high above the city of Markarth, Understone Keep is a gigantic dwarven structure, now used as the city’s keep.
Much like the city itself, the keep is built upon the ruins of an ancient Dwemer city of Nchuand-Zel; relics of their machinery and automata can be seen throughout.
The Castle Wizard, Calcelmo, has recently uncovered additional chambers. Both he and his nephew Aicantar, can be found here, leading an excavation effort of the ruins. The sheer size of this place and ability to be well guarded negates some of the instability the location has recently suffered from.
