Ivarstead (Skyrim)

 is a small community located far west from Shor's Stone and north-west from Riften. It serves as a rest stop for pilgrims before they make the journey up the Seven Thousand Steps to High Hrothgar.

Location
Ivarstead is roughly halfway between Riften and Whiterun. It is still within the Rift and is therefore governed by Riften. It is, in fact the only town in Skyrim which is not along a major road travelling between two Hold capitals. The citizens are often heard complaining about how they want to leave Ivarstead as there is nothing there.

Trivia

 * If the Dragonborn has started the Alduin's Bane quest and heads down to Ivarstead without defeating Alduin, they will still be able to hear Paarthurnax's dialogue and see Alduin flying around the mountaintop.
 * A Nirnroot plant can also be found just west of Vilemyr Inn by the riverside.
 * A troll's lair is nearby, in the direction of Riften, with two dead Stormcloaks carrying a note about investigating mysterious attacks.
 * If is installed, one clay deposit can be found southeast of Narfi's broken down house and one stone quarry west of it.
 * After the main quest is over, Odahviing may be seen flying around the Throat of the World.
 * Even though Ivarstead is in the The Rift, the guards are not named "Riften Guard". Guards in Ivarstead are called "Ivarstead Guard", but still wear the Riften Hold emblem on their shields.
 * According to the book, Holdings of Jarl Gjalund, the town of Ivarstead was originally known as "Hillgrund's Steading".

Bugs

 * All of the NPC's in Ivarstead may be duplicated, and, every time one is killed, they respawn the next time the location is loaded. There will always be two of every citizen.
 * At the beginning of the game, despite Riften being controlled by Laila Law-Giver and, therefore, the Stormcloaks, the bard there may still sing The Age of Aggression instead of the pro-Stormcloak's song, The Age of Oppression.
