Dive Rock is a mountain peak located in the Jerall Mountains, as part of the province of Cyrodiil. Dive Rock is reportedly the highest natural observation point across the entire province, with a clear shot view of the Imperial City and the Niben Bay. Not only is it known for its visage, but it is also the source of a local legend called the Horror of Dive Rock, a monster that killed dozens of people, and even cattle.
HistoryEdit
By the mid-Second Era, the northeast portion of central Cyrodiil was occupied by the Ebonheart Pact and the mountain ranges, including Dive Rock fell under their border.
Sometime in the late Third Era, the chieftain of Thirsk, Agnar the Unwavering, and his wife, Svenja Snow-Song traveled all over Tamriel in the hopes of finding the Uderfrykte Matron, the progenitor of the monster that assaulted the mead hall in 3E 427. By roughly 3E 433, found their lead in the mountains of Skyrim and eventually crossed the border into Cyrodiil to find the Horror of Dive Rock, whom they believe was the matron. They built their camp on the overlook in Dive Rock and eventually discovered the matron. Once they confronted the matron, Svenja was quickly struck down and devoured, forcing Agnar back to the camp. The chieftain made final preparations to attack the beast only to fall the same fate as his wife.
In that same year, a traveler discovered Agnar's camp and his journal, which detailed his quest and last moments. Following Agnar's trail, the traveler discovered the matron and defeated it in battle. Also at that same time, a Breton noble named Andre Labouche scaled Dive Rock to basque in the view, but slipped off the edge and fell down the cliff.
