Tel Vos is the home of the youngest of the Telvanni Mage Lords, Master Aryon. The tower is in the north-central Grazelands, and Master Aryon is the only Councilman whose tower is not on an island. Perhaps as a sign of his relative youth and openness to new ways, Master Aryon's tower is quite unique.
The land Tel Vos was built on was taken forcibly. Notably, large sections of Tel Vos are similar in design to Imperial Fort aesthetics. Aryon himself resides at the top, accessible only with levitation. As a living fungal form, the tower actually interpenetrates the stonework, and Aryon's experiment cannot be seen as a complete success.
While Tel Vos is worth a visit out of pure architectural interest, it also has a Dwemer museum, a small but excellent library, and a dungeon. Tel Vos is the primary regional center for the Grazelands, extending Telvanni influence beyond traditional reaches. The lack of services in Vos make what's available in Tel Vos all the more important. Services available in Tel Vos include an enchanter and trader in enchanted goods, an apothecary, and Milar Maryon who sells spells and potions. All can be found in the Services Tower.
Getting There and Around[edit]
A dirt road leads east to Vos. Tel Mora is very close from there, to the east across the water. The Falvillo's Endeavor at the docks in Vos can take you to Sadrith Mora, Tel Aruhn and Tel Mora. The ship also makes a nice home in this area. A path south leads through the Grazelands to the Ashlander settlement of Zainab Camp. A path west leads to the foothills of the Ashlands and some Dwemer ruins. Rotheran has the closest Propylon Chamber, to the north in the direction of Dagon Fel.

Notes[edit]
- Tel Vos makes a good starting point for hunting the free-roaming Daedra in the Grazelands.
- To reach the chambers of Master Aryon, you'll need some form of Levitate, though with a high Acrobatics skill it is possible to jump from the tops of some of the towers instead.
- Behind Aryon, on top of the ledge, behind the middle tendril lies a hidden grand soul gem.
- In Tel Vos, check the Northeastern Tower. Look for a Hidden Door on the first landing from the bottom of the staircase. This will lead to a trapdoor which in turn leads to a small room with Azura's Servant (an enchanted Daedric Shield), a Steel Spear of Impaling Thrust and a Last Rites axe guarded by a Dremora.
- A trapped Hidden Door is also in the Central Tower, at the bottom of the staircase that leads to the Imperial Museum. Behind the door you will find two crates; one contains a random steel weapon while the other holds a standard potion of night-eye, a quality potion of light, and an exclusive rising force potion. On top of one of these crates is a cloth sack containing 100 gold, and on top of the other is a cruel flameblade. Next to the crates is a barrel containing an assortment of loot, including up to 30 random marksman weapons, up to one random enchanted item, up to six other random items, and up to five gold. Finally, beside the barrel is a locked (35) and trapped chest containing one apprentice's lockpick and probe along with one journeyman's lockpick and probe.
- A third trapped Hidden Door lies behind a tapestry in the Services Tower near two merchants.
- In the jail and its dungeon, you will find five pages of Beram's journal, in which he describes his crew of laborers' attempts to clear the jail cells of the roots made by the Telvanni mushroom tower, before he and his companions fell victim to a Daedra in the dungeon ruins. There is also some valuable Limeware and Dwemer Clutter and ten Dwemer Coins in the dungeon.
- Dro'zharim, in the jail, has a dialogue option for "get me out". The game treats him as a prisoner, not a slave, so trying to free him as you would a slave will not work. Also, he cannot be freed while he is still in Tel Vos. He can be freed by moving him to any of three Imperial prisons: Pelagiad, South Wall, Hawkmoth Legion Garrison, or Buckmoth Legion Fort, Prison. You will also need to have the Fort Pelagiad Prison Key, Hawkmoth Prison Cell Key, or the Buckmoth Prison Cell Key, respectively. Using a Command spell to move him should work, but all three of those places are a long way from Tel Vos. Using
PositionCell
on him in the console to move him is known to work. Once you have him in the prison, you can free him with that prison's key.
