Nimalten[1] (sometimes called Nimalten City)[2] was an ancient settlement located inthe Rift, on the banks of the Treva River in Skyrim. Nimalten Barrow is a series of extensive vaults built beneath the town, which were extended for thousands of years due to the fact that certain families refused to bury their dead in the same chamber as certain other families.[3]
In 2E 582, Nimalten was ruled by Thane Fjora. The town was targeted by the Worm Cult, who overran the barrow and made several attempts on the thane's life before being driven off by the Ebonheart Pact.[1] Nimalten was still in existence during the Imperial Simulacrum,[2] but by 4E 201 no trace of the settlement remained.[4]
