Skaal Village is a small
village north-northeast of
Thirsk Mead Hall on
Solstheim that is home to the
Skaal tribe.
The Skaal strive to live in harmony with nature in accordance with their worship of the All-Maker. They live a simple existence in the frozen north of Solstheim, subsisting on hunting and minor agriculture, but are also familiar with the secrets of forging stalhrim.
The village's eight buildings circle the central well, with a communal tanning rack and a meat preparation shed sheltering a cooking pot on either side of the well. All other crafting stations are found outside the houses of Baldor Iron-Shaper, Deor Woodcutter, and Edla. Chief Fanari Strong-Voice's imposing greathall and shaman Storn Crag-Strider's more modest hut are at the east end of the village, while the remaining residents' homes are to the west and north.
† Found at the Tree Stone until completing the quest The Temple of Miraak.
‡ Found at the Wind Stone until the stone has been cleansed by completing the quest The Fate of the Skaal.
§ Found at the Tree Stone until the stone has been cleansed by completing the quest At the Summit of Apocrypha.
