Detailed Walkthrough

Travelling to Solstheim

When you first run with the Bloodmoon expansion, there will not be any immediate difference obvious. You can see the new island of Solstheim on your world map (scroll by holding down the left-mouse button and dragging). To travel to the new island you can either take a long swim (or walk with Water Walking or a flight with Levitate), or you can simply travel to Khuul on the NorthWestern corner of Vvardenfell and speak with the Khajiit S'virr on the Khuul docks. Select the travel option as with any other NPC who offers travel options and select the his one destination, Solstheim.

Arriving on the Island

The trip is short and uneventful and you arrive on the docks on Solstheim. Speak with the Argnonian Basks-In-The-Sun on the docks who will welcome you to the island and suggests that you speak with Captain Carius in Fort Frostmoth or with Carnius Magius at the Imperial Cult Shrine. Use the lovely map provided with the expansion to find your way around. You arrived at the docks on the Southern end of the island and the fort is just to your North. The Argonian will also give you some basic info on the island and warns you about the Bears and Wolves found about. Basks-In-The-Sun also offers travel back to Khuul as well as to Raven Rock, a harbour West of the Fort where the Empire wishes to build a new mine.

Exploring

Take your time and explore the area around the dock and the fort itself to become familiar with it. The three people near the dock have nothing useful to say or do, yet anyways. Likewise, the guards in the fort are all tight-lipped. The Fort itself holds a few areas of interest such as the Prison, Armory, Imperial Cult Shrine and the General Quarters. The prison is small and empty but does contain an Evidence chest should you ever need to reacquire certain items. The General Quarters leads to the Upper Quarters as well as Captain Carius' chambers and a supply room. Carnius Magius can be found upstairs in the Shrine area. Most people will not speak regularily to you until you visit the Captain or Magius.

Other Helpful Tips

• As usual, be careful when poking about in the various crates, chests, barrels, sacks, etc... Sometimes you can take things without people minding, and other times they will most obviously object.
• If you cannot seem to get the required information out of someone, try raising their disposition by persuasion or bribery. Some NPCs won't divulge important information unless they really like you.
