Solitude Lighthouse

Solitude Lighthouse is a outpost on the very northernmost coast of Haafingar Hold, within the province of Skyrim. The lighthouse is very important for the capital city of Solitude, because it warns the sailors and helps prevent shipwrecks. The lighthouse as accompanied by a small dock, sometimes used by sailors as a rest point before sailing into the trecherous Sea of Ghosts. The region is also home to pirates with the formidable Blackblood Marauders docked in the cavernous Broken Oar Grotto very nearby. These pirates continually harras the popular sea trade route between Solitude and the coastal cities of High Rock, contending most often with East Empire Company ships that frequent the route.   The lighthouse itself sits very nearby Brinewater Grotto, a tiny cave that seems inconspicous to the untrained eye but has deep warm waters leading down into an underwater crystal cave system filled with volcanic vents. There is also a road leading from Solitude through the snowy mountains of Northern Haafingar, along which sits the idylic Shadowgreen Cavern. A strange green oasis in the frozen wastes of the mountains, rich in wildlife and danger. Broken Oar Grotto itself lies Northwest of the lighthouse, a cavernous ocean intlet built into a fortress by years of industious pirates making it their home. Turning it into an expansive outlaw settlement complete with a fishery, general store, alchemists shack, blacksmiths, fletchers, wizarding supply shop, thieves guild outlet and a tavern by the name of the Fallen Anchor that serves rougeish patrons of all stripes.
