Fort Fellhammer

Fort Fellhammer is found in The Pale region. This fort is originally occupied by Bandits, and then, after you clear them out, the Silver Hand. The fort also plays a role in the Stealing Plans quest given by Aela.

When you first enter the fort, it is infested with Bandits. However, the fort is easy to rid of these scoundrels. The fort's rounded, spacious perimeter, makes Bandit attacks easy to predict. After you've cleared the top of the fort, move on, to the officer's quarters. Once there, clear out the Bandit Chief, and Fort Fellhammer is safe.

In the fort you will find a handful of Silver Hand troops and their leader.

The fort consists of 3 parts:

The exterior is circular and houses 3-4 Silver Hand men. There is also a smelter.

Inside the keep, there is a small amount of loot, along with the item required to complete the quest and a key to the mine. The leader of the Silver Hand resides inside as well.

The mine is locked with an expert lock. You can bypass this lock or obtain the key by killing the group's leader. In the mine there are 3-4 Silver Hand members and 10 Iron Ore Veins.
