LOCATION

Anvil is a city on the southwest end of Cyrodill.

==Overview ==

Anvil is a port city located on the Abecean Sea. The city is connected to the Imperial City by the Gold Road, which runs southwest through Skingrad and Kvatch. The city itself is home to 70 NPC's including a host of guards led by an Imperial named Langley. Millona Umbranox is the countess of Anvil; her husband Corvus Umbranox has been missing for many years. Anvil is home of the Great Chapel of Dibella, which contains 3 priests. The city also is home to Hauls-Ropes-Faster, the expert trainer in Athletics. M'aiq the Liar will make his way between Leyawiin, Anvil, and Bravil. It is possible to spot the rare Khajiitr outside the entrance of Anvil.

Anvil started out as a small settlement of huts that harbored pirates, thieves and criminals. During Camoran Usurper's invasion of Tamriel Anvil was let unattended and illegal activities flourished. It is during this period in time that the pirate Captain Torradan ap Dugal became famous. He was able to organize the Anvil pirates and form the Red Sabre with only one goal in mind; dominate the trade routes and supply lines between Hammerfell, the Summerset Isles, and Cyrodiil.

In 3E 267 after the defet of Camoran Usurper the Empire set a fleet of ships, under the command of Commodore Fasil Umbranox, to disband the Red Sabre. Fasil Umbranox was able to to kill and capture most of the Red Sabre pirates and force a showdown with Captain Torradan ap Dugal and his infamous Black Flag ship. Fasil Umbranox, with the help of the Imperial Battlemages, was able to collapse the large stone outcropping that Dugal was hiding in. Dugal and his crew survived the collapse and where able to live for years in the cave that formed. As for Commodore Fasil Umbranox, he burned Anvil to the ground. The Empire gave him the title of Count of Anvil and he was given the necessary gold to re-build the city. He also built his castle right on top of the collapsed outcropping in which the Black Flag lay.
