=============================
1. Description
=============================
Deep beneath the surface of Cyrodiil lies a long-lost Ayleid Ruin known as Minlorada. It is a legendary location, and it is said that a special Ayleid Well resides inside. This well is said to have been a gift to the Ayleids from Meridia, and it grants extended or eternal life to whoever draws from its power. Discover the lost ruins of Minlorada. Reveal the truth in the legends. Find the many secrets inside its walls!

Begin the journey by exploring the exterior of the Ayleid ruin of Elenglynn, an equal distance South of Chorrol and North of Skingrad. NOTE: It is advised that you be around level 15 to 20+ before attempting this quest.

This is the first mod I have ever made, outside of minor tweaks here and there, so be patient with me. If you encounter any bugs, conflicts, or issues, contact me with a comment on this file or in a private message and I will address the issue ASAP.
