Tamriel:Solstheim

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

Solstheim is an island to the northwest of Vvardenfell and east of Skyrim. Despite being in the general area of Morrowind its climate is more that of Skyrim. Unlike the other islands of Tamriel it is not part of any province. The Empire has a small foothold at Fort Frostmoth in the warmest southern reaches of the island, and the ambitious East Empire Company has sent mining expeditions slightly further north to Raven Rock. The local Nords live in isolated tribal communities such as the Skaal, and many of them resent the outsiders' claims to the island.

The game Bloodmoon was set in Solstheim.

[edit] Note

The reason that Solstheim isn't part of a province is that it never existed before the Bloodmoon expansion, making it a bit of a lore contradiction.
