Solstheim’s ancient tales speak of a frost giant both frightening and furious. But this brute is said to have died more than 200 years ago, during the time of the Bloodmoon. Head up the steep snowy slopes toward Castle Karstaag Caverns and Castle Karstaag Ruins. The castle is a massive mound of sculpted ice and looks almost like a mountain.

Although the interior of Castle Karstaag has long since collapsed, its remains, worn down to glacial slabs, still form a near-impenetrable wall. Unless you can pick the lock on the massive front doors [Master], the only open path to the central courtyard (the Ruins) is through the icy, partially flooded tunnels under the castle (the Caverns), where a clan of Rieklings still defends its ancient home.
