First, nothing. But as he got closer to the mountainside and high enough to view down beyond it, he found a truly marvelling sight.

In the valley below, cradled by steep mountains on all sides, was a city of white marble. It was clearly Ayleid; its architecture resembled that of the ruins found all across Cyrodiil. Great spires arose from sprawling temples; long catwalks with golden balustrades were suspended between buildings erected on the mountainsides, supported by arches that seemed almost too delicate and gracious to support the weight. Wide, beautifully paved streets crossed between gorgeous houses with high, arching windows.

The layout of the city all led up to a great building built high on the face of the northern mountainside; the roads and streets all found their way up to a huge plaza in front of the great palace's main entrance. On the centre of said plaza, a circular well, seemingly at least thirty feet in diametre, shone with a bright golden light...

The majesty of this city was somewhat offset by two factors: one, the dark atmosphere of the Darkest Night, and two... the entire city was empty. Not a single living soul was in sight.
