Wellspring Cave is a natural cave found on the shores of Lake Rumare, in the Heartlands of Cyrodiil. The cave is connected to an island containing the Wellspring Grove, in the eastern waters of Lake Rumare.[1]

Like various other natural caves in Tamriel, Wellspring Cave is theorized to have served as a capillary for the living body of Nirn, and once pulsed with the divine essence of the Aedra who created it.[2]

Wellspring Cave is used by the Mages Guild at the Arcane University. When an associate is promoted to Apprentice, they are tasked with acquiring a staff from the Wellspring Grove. The wood found at the grove is used to craft mage's staves, and so several guild mages tend to the cave and grove.[3]

Circa 3E 433, the Order of the Black Worm had begun to make their appearance in Cyrodiil, targeting the Mages Guild in various ways. A group of cult members attacked Wellspring Cave, killing the mages that resided there. An Apprentice of the Mages Guild arrived at Wellspring Cave in time to witness the aftermath and deal with the last of the necromancers in order to retrieve wood for a staff.[4] Afterward, the Council of Mages began to investigate the situation.[3]
