Bloodmoon:Felsaad Coast

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

Bridge between two regions: Felsaad Coast and Moesring Mountains. Across the Isild river.

The Felsaad Coast is the north eastern or eastern region on the island of Solstheim, depending on whether the game is played on the PC or Xbox, respectively. The region is bordered by the Isinfier Plains, Hirstaang Forest and the Moesring Mountains. It borders Isild River to the west, Skaal Village to the north, the Inner Sea to the east and Glenschul's Tomb or Himmelhost Barrow to the south. The Felsaad Coast is the snowiest region of all of Solstheim.

The Felsaad Coast is home to the two largest Nord settlements in Solstheim: Skaal Village to the north and the Thirsk mead hall east of Lake Fjalding. Visitors are welcome to Thirsk and the Chieftain provides free mead as well as beds for the weary traveller. Thirsk is home to one of the most skilled armorers in Solstheim, who offers to make very rare (and expensive) Snow Bear and Snow Wolf armor. Skaal Village is not as hospitable as the former unless one has been chosen to live among the Skaal after completing a series of tests (see the Main Quest).

The Felsaad Coast is also home to various barrows, i.e. Glenschul's Tomb, Gyldenhul Barrow, Himmelhost Barrow (Xbox only) and the Tombs of Skaalara. The Felsaad Coast also boasts some of the most famous caves on the island, like Frossel cave, the Lair of the Udyrfrykte and the Caves of Fjalding.

Weather in and around the Felsaad Coast can be very adverse, as blizzards are fairly frequent and travel becomes relatively difficult. At night, in a blizzard, travel becomes very difficult for inexperienced players and one can only see a few metres to the front. All players are advised to seek shelter until at least the morning, if not for the next few days until the blizzard ends.

Like the rest of Solstheim, the Felsaad Coast is home to various species of shrub, belladonna, holly and the Solstheim Pine tree that provides building materials, firewood, food (holly and belladonna) as well as an integral part of the Solstheim food chain. Fauna is very much the same as elsewhere around Solstheim. Tusked Bristlebacks, Plague Wolves, Plague Bears, Spriggans, Rieklings, Draugrs, Bonewolves, Horkers, Fryse Hags, Reavers, and Beserkers all call the Felsaad Coast home.

Players travelling in and around the Felsaad Coast should be familiar with the various landmarks that frequently assist even the most experienced players in finding and reaching their destination. Lake Fjalding and Thirsk are situated in the southern part of the Felsaad Coast. On the northern tip of the Felsaad Coast is the Skaal Village and the large Nordic stone bridge. West of the Tombs of Skaalara, close to Lake Fjalding, is the Beast Stone, and east of the Halls of Penumbra (Xbox only) is the Sun Stone which is south of the large rock arch that is above Valbrandr Barrow.

[edit] Getting there and around

Travel in and around the Felsaad Coast is mainly restricted to walking and swimming. 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. As there are no ports that have been built (mainly due to the weather), there is no travel by boat.

[edit] Notes

• PC and Xbox differ greatly on what is part of this region. See Talk for more information.
