You think someone go into the ruins and not only don’t take the jewels and incredibly expensive looking shiny weapons and armor but also leave their own food and money? And repair the very aggressive centurions or reraise draugr they would need to destroy to get into the place first time?

As i said, dragon breaks. Second Era had millions of adventurers being the same person adventuring all at the same time. What is some food and cash in dungeons compared to this.

Yes I know all about dragon breaks. My point is that dragon breaks are the writing equivalent of “I give up” even if they’re conceptually funny.
