Lore:Skaal Village

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

The 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 marked on the Bloodmoon paper map. Skaal Village features prominently during Bloodmoon's main quest.

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 strict code of honor; punishment is often swift and severe. In these hostile surroundings, being able to trust each other is vital for the very survival of the members of the tribe. Still, there are temptations...

The Skaal have a rich and colorful culture with ritualistic hunts and bonds with nature which you may explore during The Skaal Test of Loyalty. Mythical beasts like the Spirit Bear and Kaarstag are part of the lore here.

Hunting is the main source of income for most, the Horkers on the northern coast and nearby Lake Fjalding are a relative easy and lucrative prey. More adventurous Skaal hunters go after the elusive Snow Wolf or Snow Bear, whose pelts are valued highly among them.
