Description[]
Geography[]
Davon's Watch is one of the largest cities located along the Inner Sea compared to cities such as Blacklight, Ebonheart, Vivec City, and Firewatch. Its architecture share similarities with the city of Mournhold, possibly because both cities are House Indoril owned. Davon's Watch is located in the Daen Seeth region of Stonefalls and right next to the Ash Mountain volcano. Davon's Watch has two entrances on the southern end of the city. The southern end of the city has the Market District on the west and the Artisans' Row on the east.
Central Davon's Watch has the local Mages Guild, inn, and bank located here. Its northern district is where the residents in Davon's Watch live on top of the Daen Seeth bluffs overlooking the Inner Sea and Vvardenfell in the distance. The center of politics in the Watch is Indoril Manor located near the port. Davon's Watch ports are located on the northern shores.
Traditions[]
- The Dunmer of Davon's Watch and Ebonheart celebrate the New Life Festival with the Lava Foot Stomp. The Lava Foot Stomp has the local patrons in inns and taverns dance with each other.[2]
History[]
Early History[]
Darnim Watch began as an ancient Indoril fortress dating back to Veloth's time.[UL 1] During the Chimer war with the Rontha Nedes, the town had been constructed, but did not yet have a wall completely surrounding it.[3]
Second Era[]

In 2E 582, the Daggerfall Covenant had conquered Bleakrock Isle and assaulted the Bal Foyen reserve to gain a foothold in Ebonheart Pact territory for an imminent invasion. Their first big attack was the Siege of Davon's Watch which left the people of the Watch on high alert. The Covenant warships destroyed the residential district to the north, and they would raid trading ships coming into the Stonefalls coastline. Holgunn One-Eye and Tanval Indoril lead the defense in Davon's Watch, but the Covenant Armada was too powerful to handle. Tanval resurrected Balreth of the Brothers of Strife to destroy the armada. After obliterating the armada, Balreth rampaged across the Stonefalls countryside until he was put to rest atop the Ash Mountain.[4][5][6]
Third Era[]

During the Imperial Simulacrum, the Darnim Watch township existed in Morrowind under the leadership of House Indoril in between the towns of Eagle Moor and Dragon Glade. At one point, the Eternal Champion had visited the town on their quest for a piece of the Staff of Chaos to defeat Jagar Tharn at the Imperial Palace.
