Maybe a spoiler.
I was in Dagoth Ur's dungeon. Even though I hadn't picked up Sunder yet I was looking for him anyway. I didn't have any luck finding him. I found lots of weird things though. What appeared to be the shoes of a construct with valves on the bottom that appeared to be very old and were stuck. Certain valves didn't turn. Keys were needed that I didn't have. And all around I was seeing these strange cylinders that did nothing but had "?" marks appear when I hovered over them with the cursor. There was also a room with a shrine, and in that room, a "Sphere of passage". I couldn't figure out how to get in. After reading on some forum about ash statues being batteries I took them all out of the monolithes of the shrine. The sphere opened and inside was one of those tubes, but it was open and had a button to use a teleporter. It took me to "Dagoth Ur, Hall of Passage" or something of that nature. I picked one of the many cylinders in the room: One labeled "portal" I found myself in a room flooding with water. I found a secret door, travelled up it, And found myself in a "Lost Dwemer Ruin". In the ruin were numerous dwarven constructs and goblins (I have tribunal installed, but I haven't done anything past kill the assassins that showed up. When I checked my World Map the cursor was over Solstheim. I could also not levitate in these areas, and there was a black piece of wall that said something along the lines of passage to Mournhold. I took it and it was a dead end, though clearly part of the cities sewers. Another room appeared to be a factory for making constructs, there were about 10 in the room, which was filled with green light. A long table in the room had many pieces of the constructs not yet put together.
Can anyone else confirm this? Has anyone ever seen it before? Have I stumbled upon hidden content in the game? The UESP wiki says nothing about any of this. It only mentions the direct route to Dagoth Ur. o.O
