An exceptional example of the sacred architecture seen in Morrowind ancestor worship. The red cloth acts as a resting place for idols, a vibrant space for one's predecessors to luxuriate. You can see clearly where the Velothi influence has shaped this altar. These are usually seen in temples or tombs, but I believe this might have spent some time outdoors in a Dunmeri necropolis. If you've never had the opportunity, attending a ceremony on one of the Dark Elf high holy days is incredible. Seeing generation upon generation of the dead walking between the gravestones is a moving, and sometimes terrifying, experience.
