Solstheim

The frozen island north-west of Vvardenfell, setting of Bloodmoon and Dragonborn.

Solstheim is a frigid island to the north-west of Vvardenfell, added to The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind by the Bloodmoon expansion, whose setting is modelled on Norse mythology. In Bloodmoon the player travels to the frozen island to investigate the uneasiness of the soldiers stationed there.

Lore & Background

Bloodmoon was a larger expansion than Tribunal in area and content, and grew from executive producer Todd Howard's three core ideas of werewolves, Nords and snow. Solstheim returned as the primary setting of Dragonborn, the 2012 expansion to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which added the island to the north-east of Skyrim; its main settlement, Raven Rock, is governed by House Redoran.
