|description=On the mysterious destruction of an ancient Valenwood township
}}
Everyone knows what happened to {{Lore Link|Gil-Var-Delle}}. And at the same time, no one does.
Legend has it that {{Lore Link|Molag Bal}}, the dreaded {{Lore Link|Daedric Prince}}, set foot into that {{Lore Link|Wood Elf}} township—consumed it, according to the myth—whatever that actually means. Ancient tales employ metaphors like armies employ soldiers.
If Bal himself visited {{Lore Link|Mundus|this plane}} with evil intent, why do any of us remain? The stories about him would lead one to believe he would not have stopped with the razing of a single Wood Elf town—he wouldn't have stopped until all of {{Lore Link|Tamriel}} was in flames. Just one common question of many regarding the Daedric Prince's so-called visit.
Some retort that perhaps someone stopped him—possibly an opposing Daedric Prince, a {{Lore Link|Divines|Divine}}, or an agent of the {{Lore Link|Aedra}}. But again, where is the evidence for this? No mage or historian—that I've spoken to, at least—has been able to reference a specific text for this information.
Many a historical fiction piece has attempted to dramatize what occurred there, but none of those stories can be confirmed, except to say that a catastrophic event struck the town. Perhaps the residents were killed, perhaps they fled. None were ever heard from again, but for all anyone knows, a large fire could have been the culprit. I can't imagine anything more catastrophic than that to a Wood Elf dwelling.
Today, Gil-Var-Delle is a maligned place, and there are not many who dare to venture near. But not because of any tangible foes—save cowardice and superstition.
