Points of Interest

Forge

From this massive forge, hammered upon the runic inscribed anvil, quenched with Kyne’s blessed rainwater, one will find the finest steel this side of the Skyforge. It is here one will often find Rokthor, laboring long with utmost diligence to produce weapons and armor of the finest craft. While the hammer-song rings in his ears, tales of honor and glory are frequently forthcoming to those who visit his hillside bastion.

Shrine

If one were to ask Rokthor, he would claim the forge is his shrine. Yet despite this testimony the Harbinger felt it befitting to have a monument commissioned. After the forge was constructed, and the meadhall erected, Rokthor contracted the local stonecutters to create a replica of the monument at Companions Point on the southern coast of Bleakrock, in honor of the order’s founding father, Ysgramor.

Meadhall and Lodging

Feasting and fellowship abound both within the Hall and about the grounds. Inside, cozy barracks accommodate trainees and guests alike. The vaulted common room brims with feasting and merriment. In the courtyard, further camaraderie takes place amid mead and friendly sparring to hone skills for battle in the defense of Skyrim. And atop the bluff beyond the waterfall a solemn Shrine to the Storm-Mother awaits those seeking solace and reflection.
