Weynon Priory is situated along the Black Road, that runs between the Red Ring Road and the city-state of Chorrol. The settlement serves as the point that connects the Black Road, with the Orange Road that runs between Chorrol and Bruma. Weynon Priory is a typical Imperial priory, with a large building called Weynon House, which serves as the residency for the priest, a farm and stable controlled by a herder, and the Weynon Priory chapel, the place of worship in the settlement. In earlier years, Weynon Priory had small walls and a fountain in the middle, but these were lost to time.

During the Interregnum in 2E 582, the region of Central Cyrodiil was engulfed in war as the Alliance War ravaged the entire land. Weynon Priory was neutral in the conflict, but it was located in what was considered territory of the Daggerfall Covenant. At this point, Weynon Priory was an abbey dedicated to Akatosh, the chief deity of the Divines. With the city-state of Chorrol in utter ruin, the Priory was a noteworthy target by the alliances. During the conflict, the Priory would be attacked by passing bandits and even vampires, resulting in numbers dwindling. Passing travelers aided a local priest, Mael, by burning dead friends at the ruins of Lipsand Tarn and even face enemies such as the Shadowed Path and the Black Daggers.

Now, the Weynon Priory had been a temple to Talos, ever since the Emperor's rise to power.
