{{Lore Link|Blackreach}}, also called '''Fal'Zhardum Din''' ("Blackest Kingdom Reaches" in Dwemeris),{{ref|name=DI3|{{Cite book|Dwemer Inquiries Vol III}}}} is an immense cavern located deep beneath {{Lore Link|the Pale}} and {{Lore Link|Winterhold (region)|Winterhold}} in [[Lore:Skyrim|Skyrim]]. Many giant glowing mushrooms grow throughout the cavern, providing natural light. The cavern is rich in minerals, including rare geode veins, and a subterranean river flows through it. Blackreach is home to many dangerous creatures, including {{Lore Link|Giants}}, {{Lore Link|Frost Troll}}s, {{Lore Link|Chaurus}}, {{Lore Link|Falmer}}, and {{Lore Link|Wispmother}}s. The cavern is filled with [[Lore:Dwemer|Dwarven]] ruins, which provide access to the surface.{{ref|name=Skyrim|Events of [[SR:Skyrim|Skyrim]]}}<noinclude>

==History==
Blackreach was originally colonized by the [[Lore:Dwemer|Dwemer]] of Skyrim. They built Great Lifts to provide quick transport to the surface, and connected Blackreach to three of their settlements: {{Lore Link|Alftand}}, {{Lore Link|Mzinchaleft}} and {{Lore Link|Raldbthar}}. {{Lore Link|Irkngthand}} may also have contained an entrance, but it was no longer accessible as of {{Year|4E 201}}.{{ref|name=DI3}} They constructed roads and buildings, culminating in the Silent City in the center of Blackreach. Dwarven Centurions were installed to guard the cavern's roads. The Dwemer farmed mushrooms in the damp environment. The Tower of Mzark, located in Blackreach, contained a device used to transfer the knowledge of an [[Lore:Elder Scrolls|Elder Scroll]] onto a lexicon. Blackreach also acted as the lair of the dragon {{Lore Link|Vulthuryol}}.{{ref|name=Skyrim}}

In the early [[Lore:First Era|First Era]], the Dwemer took in [[Lore:Snow Elf|Snow Elves]] seeking refuge from the invading [[Lore:Nord|Nords]], but only if they blinded themselves. The Dwemer would later betray the Snow Elves by using them as slaves. They rebelled, overthrowing their Dwarven masters, and fleeing to the darkest corners of Blackreach. The cavern became the stage for the [[Lore:War of the Crag|War of the Crag]], a war fought between the Dwemer and Falmer for many decades. When the Dwemer disappeared from [[Lore:Tamriel|Tamriel]] in {{Year|1E 700}}, the devolved {{Lore Link|Falmer}} were free to spread throughout Blackreach.{{ref|name=TFAS|{{Cite book|The Falmer: A Study}}}} Over the centuries, the Falmer came to inhabit the abandoned halls of their former masters. By taming the Chaurus, they were able to use its chitin to create primitive camps, many of which were set up in Blackreach.{{ref|name=Skyrim}}

The cavern remained largely unknown to the surface-dwelling people of Tamriel outside of scholarly texts. An adventurer named Obeth Arnesian was the first outsider reported to have discovered Blackreach. In {{Year|4E 58}}, the master alchemist [[Lore:Sinderion|Sinderion]] arrived in Blackreach to study the [[Lore:Crimson Nirnroot|Crimson Nirnroot]], having been directed there by Obeth. The Crimson Nirnroot was a variant of the common [[Lore:Nirnroot|Nirnroot]] found exclusively in Blackreach, where it grows symbiotically with the cavern's mushrooms.{{ref|name=SFJ|{{Cite book|Sinderion's Field Journal|ns=Skyrim}}}} Sinderion set up a field laboratory in one of the abandoned Dwemer houses, but he was then murdered by one of the still-functional Dwemer animunculi.{{ref|name=Skyrim}}

In {{Year|4E 201}}, the scholar {{Lore Link|Septimus Signus}} sent the [[Lore:Hero|Last Dragonborn]] to Blackreach on a quest to retrieve the Dwemer's {{Lore Link|Elder Scroll}}. The Dragonborn also uncovered Sinderion's remains, and by collecting several samples of Crimson Nirnroot, was able to continue his research. Through use of the [[Lore:Thu'um|Thu'um]], the Dragonborn awoke Vulthuryol. The two did battle, and the Dragonborn absorbed the dragon's soul.{{ref|name=Skyrim}}
