Stonewastes is a medium-sized settlement located in the gloomy bogland of Blackwood, in the province of Black Marsh. The town is the home of the Four Winds, a legendary group of Argonian defenders that roam the region and protect the people from bandits and other dangers. They have been active since their ancestors "erected their first hut". The town's Hist tree is located in the center of town and at the west end is a large xanmeer keep called the Stonewastes Keep.
HistoryEdit
Sometime during the Interregnum, the members of the Four Winds, Elossi, Meer-Ta, Otumi-Ra, and Satul-Sa disbanded and went their separate ways after an argument. Each traveled to the outskirts of town while Satul-Sa stayed in the village, but their separation proved to be unbeneficial to the people of Stonewastes when the village was attacked in 2E 582, by the Lut-Eileel, a tribe of Argonian warmongers and their leader, the Warlord Nuxhosa. After an initial attack, Satul-Sa saved the village but after they enchanted their weapons, Warlord Nuxhosa had cut down the Wind and the Lut-Eileel secured the xanmeer keep to the west of the village. Stonewastes was ransacked and besieged, and the local blacksmith, Nuxul enlisted a traveler to reunite the Winds and defeat the Lut-Eileel. After some setbacks, the winds were reunited a prepared a final attack that liberated villagers and sabotaged the enemy weapons. In the end, the warlord was defeated, the village was saved, and the Winds were reformed.
During the Imperial Simulacrum in the late Third Era, Stonewastes was ruled by Lord Diocletian and had a rivalry with Glenbridge and Chasepoint. Stonewastes is neighbored by several settlements, including Glenbridge to the northeast, Rockgrove to the southeast, and Gideon to the northwest.
