ARGH! I hate this location in SkyrimSolstheim! Every time I go there I get a little more annoyed with it.
So there's this house. Reavers have taken over the cellar and killed the person who came to check on his lover, who'd been sending increasingly crazy letters. The lover is nearby in a boat, killed as well, apparently having tried to leave to get away from the noises that were plaguing him. Those noises, when you go to the house, sound a lot like, if not exactly the same as, the freaky lovecraftian Black Books you find around in Solstheim. In the cellar, you can find a hidden passageway which leads to a single room of Dwarven origin. In this room is a chest and a large spherical wall/machine/something which I don't think is seen anywhere else in the game. Noclipping through it shows that it is nothing but just that - a wall. The room looks special, has a story behind it, but does nothing at all. There is no Black Book, even noclipping around everywhere, either. It's like an Aborted Arc, which is infuriating! There is nothing to go on - what caused the madness, why can you hear a Black Book but there isn't one, what the hell is that machine/wall/thing and why is it under someone's house, completely unconnected to any other Dwemer ruins in the area?! ARGHHH!!!! They could have made an interesting questline out of this, but there's nothing. It's just a miscellaneous location with literally nothing of importance.
