Unused Maps

This is a sub-page of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

This page contains a list of all exterior and interior cells that exist in data files but are not part of gameplay. These locations can be accessed only through console commands (coc [cellID]). PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 users will have to take advantage of glitches to reach specified areas.

Exterior Test Cells#

EmptyWorld#

This world consists of 4 cells, only one of which is not identified as Wilderness. Despite the name, this world is not empty—this is actually a blank version of Cyrodiil. It was used to make the alternative worldspaces for the separate towns and each Imperial district (including Prison and the Arcane University). It has transparent ground.

DaedricHoldingPen	000A947E		A dark void with no floor. A group of naked NPCs called "Corrupted Clones", one for each playable race and gender combination, float above the NPC Casta Flavus.

A small box contains an Iron Bow with 100 arrows, Black Hand Robes and Shrouded Armor, 20 Poison Apples, 1000 Gold, and 500 Lockpicks. Three NPCs exist here as well, named ND Conversation 1 and 2, and Imperial Female NPC. They will speak only of rumors, but will possess the topic Knights of the Nine if the plug-in is installed, also referring to the player as Commander. There are also four sets of doors, varying in lock strength, that will move the player to its double on the other side of the room.

Bit and Bridle#

Bit and Bridle was meant to be a horse-related store in the Imperial City's Market District. It would've been manned by the unused NPC Ris Fralmoton, possibly alongside the used NPC Hamlof Red-Tooth as a stablehand or assisstant. At one point the store was turned into Red Diamond Jewelry, which appears in the final game, manned by Hamlof. The store only exists in the form of a leftover key carried by both Hamlof and Ris, as well as the faction that they're both a part of.

Castle Varaldo#

A removed castle that exists in the form of both an interior and an exterior cell. The interior is named CastleVaraldo internally, and appears as "Castle Varaldo Interior" on the map. CastleVaraldoExterior still appears in the final game, but as an unnoteworthy wilderness cell. The cell is adjacent to the one containing random Oblivion gate "OBGateRandVM011". The interior is very barren and only contains a barely-finished court room, featuring the throne from Chorrol. Not much else noteworthy is present, and what the purpose of this place was, is unknown.

Curtis' House#

Nothing remains of this location, except for the key that was to be tied to it. The unused NPC Curtis was meant to reside here, and based on his internal data, the house would've likely been present in the Imperial City's Temple District.

Imperial Villa#

A cut humble house interior named "Imperial Villa". There's also a cut exterior cell named ImperialVillaExterior southeast of the Arcane University, on the water's edge.

Lissalda#

A removed Ayleid ruin that would've been tied to an earlier version of the main quest. It exists in the form of two blank dialogue topics: LissaldaTopic and MQ08LissaldaTopic. Its exterior cell LissaldaExterior also still remains in the final game, placing it south of Kvatch.

Spy Rock#

Spy Rock was an abandoned fort that was meant to play a role in the removed quest internally known as "MS17". Its exterior cell, SpyRockExterior, still remains in-game and shows that it was meant to appear west of Chorrol, where Battlehorn Castle is placed with the DLC of the same name. It also has a blank leftover topic called SpyRock internally. While no dialogue is linked to it, the voice files are still present and when transcribed, some of the lines hint at the backstory of the location: "It's an abandoned Imperial watch, in the mountains southeast of town. Ogres pass through there regularly from what I understand. It's the perfect place to try and make contact with the Ogres, don't you think?"

Statlilia Stables#

A location that was meant to appear in the Imperial City. It's named after its original owner, Restita Statlilia, who appears repurposed as a stablehand for the Chestnut Handy Stables in the final game. The location only exists in the form of unused rumors, and its leftover sign.

The Fox's Den#

A removed... something. Based on its name, it was likely a unique dungeon or cave of some kind. It only exists in the form of a leftover cell known internally as TheFoxsDenExterior. The cells TheBeastsMawExterior and TheDrunkenDragonExterior follow a similar naming scheme, with the former being a dungeon and the latter an inn, leaving the purpose of The Fox's Den even more unclear.

Lair of the Arzghul#

There's a cell named LairoftheArzghulExterior covering a mountainside just northwest of Sancre Tor, otherwise no clue as to what sort of dungeon it was or what an "Arzghul" is.
