Santaki (or the Santaki Ruins)[2] is a dwarven ruin located in the northwestern Alik'r Desert, in the province of Hammerfell. In its heyday, it was a Rourken settlement but unlike other ruins that have been plundered and explored, sites like Santaki have remained largely untouched.[3] The metalworks of Dwarven smiths in Santaki are identifiable by its repeating squared-arrow pattern.[1]
After settling in Volenfell in 1E 420, the Rourken Clan of Dwemer found the Alik'r Desert rife with untouched, rich minerals and spread themselves out to build deep mines and workshops. Santaki was one of these sites,[3] constructed just outside of present-day Sentinel to the south.[4]
The smiths of Santaki contributed with other Rourken workers to create the Rourken Steamguards, the gauntlets of King Rourken's high honor guard, by making its plating with its signature style.[5] The Guardian's Eye, an artifact of immense power and importance in Volenfell once stopped in Santaki for a brief maintenance.[6][7]
In 2E 582, bandits led by the Dunmer named Tarrent Hareno took up residence in Santaki. At around the same time, the explorer Tharayya delved into Santaki and found her first Dwemeris inscriptions of the Guardian's Eye. With this clue, she tracked the artifact in Volenfell.[6][7] The right leg of the Precursor, the first factotum created by Sotha Sil was used by the Dwemer in Santaki as a sphere fabricator. It was collected by an adventurer, who helped repair the Precursor.[8]
