Solstheim

Solstheim is a fictional island featured in the Bloodmoon expansion to The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.

[edit] Geography

Solstheim is located north-west of Morrowind and north-east of Skyrim. It is disputed territory, with both provinces claiming the island.

There are several distinct regions on Solstheim:

Hirstaang Forest in the south of the island covers the area to the west of the Iggnir River and south of Brodir Grove. This area is covered with pine trees and thick grass.
The Moesring Mountains are a mountain range in the north-west of the island. The mountains are located west of the Harstrad River and are continually covered with snow and ice.
The Insifer Plains comprise the central area of the island and are thinly forested (when compared to the rest of Solstheim). The ground is usually frozen and covered with snow.
The eastern shore of Solstheim is known as Felsaad Coast. It is located east of Lake Fjalding and the rivers that run from it in both southerly and northerly directions. The environment of the Felsaad Coast varies from place to place and has some land that is similar to each of the other areas.

Fort Frostmoth, an Imperial Legion fort at the southern tip of the island.
Raven Rock, an ebony mining village run by the East Empire Company. It is located in the south-west of the Hirstaag Forest.
Skaal, a Nord village in the north of the Felsaad Coast region.
Thirsk, a Nord mead hall in the centre of the Felsaad Coast region.

Lake Fjalding, a large ice covered lake just east of the center of the island. It is also the Horker mating ground.
Hrothmund's Bane, a strange ice formation that looks like a wolf from the air.
Mortrag Glacier, a large ice glacier on the north-west tip of the island.
Castle Karstaag, a large ice castle just west of Motrag Glacier. It is home to the ice troll Karstaag and his Rieklings.
