This is a print depicting the city of Winterhold, the headquarters of the Black Dragon Trading Company around 2a146. It was created by the artist Voranil, an Altmer printmaker whose works were featured heavily in the publication Black Horse Newsletter. This makes him the first artist to utilize the print, mainly through woodblock.



Birthed in Northpoint and trained in the Bedraud Citadel Hall of Ivy. He soon developed a talent in carpentry and was sent to Greymoor Citadel's Hall of Ivy as a teacher. It was there that he began to experiment in print and found new employment with Black Horse Newsletter based in Whiterun. The administrator had seen Voranil's work and sought to add a new element to the publication.



At the time his employment was somewhat controversial since Voranil was a Gilded Altmer, a lower class of High Elf who descended from the Thalmor of the Third Aldmeri Dominion. Their ancestry marked by the hereditary clipped ears. Said to be a curse passed down through the generations.
