Caves are underground areas resulting either from natural formations or mines (or both). Caves are common throughout Cyrodiil, and they usually contain , such as bandits, and creatures. Most caves include rats, various undead and goblins. While in a cave the Hero must fight enemies while collecting loot and experience. Although they can be dark, most caves have enough light to see, much of it coming from holes to the outside. If more light is needed, the Hero can use a torch, magic or simply turn up the brightness in the game settings.
