Hackdirt is a village with an inn between Chorrol and Skingrad (quest-related). [edit]

Hackdirt is a small mining village founded by Vlanhonder Moslin's grandfather, Irlav. The town's residents turned to worshiping the "Deep Ones" they encountered in their mines, but the cult's activities apparently got out of hand, and the village was burned to the ground by the Imperial Legion in the ensuing hostilities. Its citizens took this as oppression by the "outsiders" and have since rebuilt the town and are notoriously intolerant of outsiders.

The village and quest appear to be based on the town of Innsmouth from the novella A Shadow Over Innsmouth by H.P. Lovecraft.
