Topographical Overview

Centuries of constant eruptions from Red Mountain—the towering volcano located on the island of Vvardenfell to the east—have devastated the once-thriving settlements and fertile pine forests of southern Solstheim. The land here has been strangled by continuous ash deposits and beset by terrifying creatures seemingly risen from the ash. Still, many continue to eke out an existence here despite the formidable danger.

Routes and Pathways

When traversing the choking ash wastes, it is important to situate yourself by locating the landmarks that are easiest to spot. Obviously, the volcano in the far distance is one such object. The giant fungal tower of Tel Mithryn to the southeast is another. Highpoint Tower, the aptly named tumbledown fortification in the middle of the ashlands, is your midway point. To the southwest is Raven Rock, your first port of call and the largest settlement on the island.

Move farther inland and you’ll note a lack of thoroughfares; there is only a single north-south path. Try to trek along the coast first, to get a feel of the lay of the land; then use the Harstrad River, which is now little more than a stream that winds south from Ashfallow Citadel to the Sea of Ghosts just west of Tel Mithryn, as another helpful orientating point. As you trek north, be aware that once you step from ash onto snow, you’re venturing into the Northern Mountains—a helpful way to realize how far across the island you’ve traveled.
