Lore:Bitter Coast

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

The Bitter Coast is the largely uninhabited area in the far southwest of Vvardenfell that lies between the mountains of the West Gash to the east and the Inner Sea to the west. The northern boundary of the region is generally considered to be marked by Khartag Point, just north of Gnaar Mok, and it follows the coast south and eastward through the tiny fishing/smuggling village of Hla Oad, the Imperial outpost at Seyda Neen, and finally merging into terrain more reminiscent of the Ascadian Isles just west of Vivec City.

The Bitter Coast is dominated by humid, putrid swamps and salt marshes. The giant Bull Netches float gently through the air, fearing no Cliff Racer or mud crab. Off the coast, divers find kollops with pearls, but even more Slaughter Fish and the man-like Dreugh with their hard shell and tentacles. The region is also known as The Smuggler's Coast, the secluded coves and islands are littered with smugglers, operating out of their hidden caves. The ever-present fog and rain provide additional cover for their boats. No major action has been recently taken to curtail their actions, as many smugglers count on support from locals unhappy with high taxes on liquor.
