Aryon

High up on the cliffs overlooking Sol rests the idyllic mining village of Aryon.  Sightseers and pilgrims flock to this destination to take in its picturesque vistas and pay their respects to the nearby Shrine of Azura.  The frequent visitors coupled with the local mine keeps Aryon a bustling and thriving community.

Sol

On the eastern shore of Skyrim at the northern border of the Burned Coast lies the Dark Elven port city of Sol - the capital of the Dunmeri population on Solstheim.  Sol stands as a symbol of perseverance for the troubled race.  It's streets boast numerous stores, a thriving marketplace and taking chief of position in the centre of the city lies the Dunmeri Council House, the voice of governance on Solstheim.  But like all cities it has it's troubled underbelly, namely the Waterworks, housing the less fortunate of the Dark Elf population.

Special thanks to phitt for supplying the Dark Elf architectural resources.

Creature: Cliff Racer

Cliff Racer

Prior to the Red Year, Dark Elves told tales of how St. Jiub drove the Cliff Racers from Vvardenfell.  One thing is certain, these flying creatures find the awkward topography and rocky outcroppings of the southern Felsaad Coast enticing.  In particular the mountainous hill upon which sits the Sun Stone.  Here a number of Cliff Racers have roosted making the pilgrimage to this spiritual stone a hazardous one.

Thanks go to Phitt for creating the Cliff Racer modder's resource.

Region: Burned Coast

The Burned Coast

The Burned Coast is a new region occupying the southern and south-eastern coastline of Solstheim.  After the Red Year, thick ash clouds smothered the land and blotted out the sun devastating and ultimately destroying the local ecosystem of the southern shoreline.  The resulting dead, greyed flora is where this region acquired it's name.

Now the Burned Coast hosts a plethora of strange flora and fauna, thriving in the warmer, wet conditions and the newly enriched soil.  It is here where the Dark Elves have resettled, building a number of settlements along the coastline - Sathil, Oleen Mar, Girith, Aryon, Vilven and their capital - Sol.

Location: Frostmoth Ruins

The ruins of Fort Frostmoth

One of the more iconic locations from Bloodmoon was the Imperial fort.  Fast forward to the current timeline and the overgrown ruin is little more than a landmark.

The Frostmoth ruins are located on the shore of the western Burned Coast region.  A small group of Reavers lie camped at the docks.
