Skaal Village is home to the Skaal, a nature-worshipping tribe of Nords. The village is located in the Felsaad Coast region of Solstheim, north of the Mead Hall of Thirsk, and is the northernmost settlement in Tamriel. It consists of small, sturdy wooden dwellings, arranged around a central Greathall which hosts feasts and other gatherings. Clad in traditional Nordic mail armor, Skaal Honor Guards protect the village from intruders, man and beast alike. At first, the villagers of Skaal are not very friendly to outsiders, but they are more welcoming once they accept you.
The Skaal have a rich and colorful culture with ritualistic hunts and bonds with nature; mythical beasts like the Spirit Bear and Karstaag are part of the lore here. Hunting is the main source of income for most, as the horkers on the northern coast and nearby Lake Fjalding are a relatively easy and lucrative prey. More adventurous Skaal hunters go after the elusive snow wolf or snow bear, whose pelts are valued highly among them.
Skaal Village is also home to the shaman of the tribe, who leads them in matters of ritual and spirituality.
ServicesEdit
The blacksmith Snedbrir the Smith can repair your weapons and armor. Bronrod the Roarer is a healer who offers sundries, potions, and a good selection of spells.
Getting There and AroundEdit
Travel to Skaal Village is restricted mainly to walking and swimming. The surrounding terrain is difficult and blizzards often drop visibility to a few feet. Since there are no Tribunal Temples or Imperial Cult shrines in the region, the only magical transportation (or teleportation) is restricted to Mark and Recall spells. There is no travel by boat, mainly due to the weather and lack of a port. Divine Intervention from here takes you to Fort Frostmoth, Almsivi Intervention to Gnisis.
NotesEdit
- Skaal Village also appears in Skyrim's Dragonborn add-on.
