Following the path that leads North out of the Spirit Woods you will be entering the Borg where Saebjorn Longhall is located. You will be able to recognize the Saebjorn Longhall because it will be the biggest structure in the town. It has a large mammoth skull hanging above the threshold inviting kin and guests for hospitality. You will be able to hear people laughing and carrying on with the bustle and hustle that is familiar to this little trading port.

Temple Entrance

Across from the Saebjorn Longhall on the West side of the path coming from the Borg, you will find the entrance to our Motherhouse. There is a large stone gate at the bottom of a large rock formation at the base of the mountain where the High Temple exists.

Bakery

Walking through the town, you will see the Saebjorn Longhall in the East right after passing a stage platform. In the west, there is the entrance to the Motherhouse at the stone gates embedded within the large rock structure. Moving along the cobblestone path your first stone building will be the bakery. Here we make all our bread and specialize in traditional Nord sweet cakes.

The Inn

Nestled between the Temple Entrance and the Bakery is the gate opening to the local Tavern and Inn, The 500 Flagons Inn. Here one will find further food, drink, and a place to rest one's head after celebrations at the Saebjorn Long Hall wind down. Adjacent to the Inn is the Borgmester's personal Quarters, who oversees much of the town's day to day operations.

Clothier

Heading North up the path after you pass the Saebjorn Longhall on your right, you will come to the Clothier Shop. There are scissors and pins with cushions, measuring tapes. A variety of sewing utensils such as needles and colorful threads and yarns are available to those working in the Clothier Shop, as well as an abundance of furs and leathers. If you need your shirt mended, this would be a good place to start.

Carpenter and Blacksmith

If you continue along the path, you will see a large stone well, sheltered with a wooden roof. On the West side of the path past the Bakery resides the Carpenter Shop and Blacksmith side by side. Next to the Carpenter Shop lumber of local and imported trees is piled beside the structure under a shingled roof to protect from the weather. You will find an anvil outside the Blacksmith to let you know you are in the right place to get your weapon or armor repaired, or your horses shod when a ferrier is on site. Inside the shops, there are tools and materials available and ready to work with.

Herbalist and Enchanter

The Apothecary Shop is across the street from the Blacksmith. Its wooden grid window panes are painted bright evergreen and are very hard to miss. Inside you will find balanced scales to measure and portion ingredients and jars of reagents regularly stocked from our suppliers and local gatherers. Lingering with the smell of Nirnroot the Apothecary Shop is perfect for those beginning or adept at their craft in alchemy and enchanting.

Dock Entrance

Just past the Herbalist and Enchanter Shop you will find wooden gates leading to the Docks. You will be brought to the water's edge when you step through these gates. You will know you are close to the gate when you can smell the sea air and hear seagulls squawking. Any import and export is done through this gate and will be watched by our town guard to avoid any trouble to suppliers and patrons.
