Ancient Falmer Ruins by Arx Vallium
Description
The Ancient Falmer were an integral part of Skyrim's history before the Atmorans arrived yet we never see their presence in Skyrim outside of the Dawnguard DLC. This mod changes that! Much like their Ancient Nord counterparts, you can now find the vast marble remnants of Ancient Falmer temples, fortresses, cities and other locales that have stood the test of time tucked away in Skyrim's landscape for the avid explorer to uncover! Delve into these Ancient Falmer sites and risk confrontation with the undead guardians who will rise again to defend their holy and arcane secrets locked deep beneath the snow!

Syrabane's Enclave
Lore: While most of the exterior courtyard has been washed and eroded away into the Sea of Ghosts, the main entrance still stands boasting a mighty fortress carved out of the Haafingar hills that meets the crashing waves. A great repository of Falmer knowledge, this location is dedicated to Syrabane, the elvish god-ancestor of magic also known as the "Warlock's God". The enclave is a temple that doubles as a library and is haunted by many vengeful Ancient Falmer ghosts versed in the icy school of destruction. The enclave contains a high volume of bookshelves
stocked with all manner of magical trinkets. The particularly lucky explorer
might stumble across priceless Ancient Falmer tomes still intact after all this
How to clear: Eliminate the boss inside the final chamber.
Iceberg Ruins
Lore: Where the mouth of the White River meets the Sea of Ghosts, a field of icebergs float in the freezing surf. These icebergs hide pieces of the once great Falmer city of Alasil Av Auta. While pieces of the city have assimilated with the surrounding icebergs, most of it lies at the bottom of the sea. While it's unknown how the city came to be in its current condition, what is known is that the city was famed for its astronomers and even housed a highly sophisticated planetarium. Any adventurer willing to hold their breath and brave the sub-zero temperatures to get at the riches inside will be well rewarded.
How to clear: Eliminate all enemies inside the final chamber.
