I'd call my Hold "Ghostpoint". This Hold would consist of the ice floes north of the Pale, as crazy as it first sounds to have an entire population live that far north, and the main settlement would be built out of the former outpost of Septimus Signus (deceased since the completion of Hermaeus Mora's Daedric Quest).

It would be a full-fledged city, not a town or small village. I always wanted to make a mod (requiring the Dragonborn DLC installed) that requires bringing Stalhrim found in Solstheim back to Skyrim in order to create your own place for NPCs you befriend/hire (or new NPCs entirely) to come populate and work at. Of course, the buildings would be almost-entirely constructed of magical ice.

As for backstory and affiliation in the Skyrim Civil War? I've thought little of the city's backstory beyond it being the result of an Imperial NPC wanting to build an outpost to watch for possible Akaviri naval invasion of Tamriel from the north.

It would be neutral in the Skyrim Civil War, backing out of the conflict entirely. I have thought of level-dependent supplies being regularly sent to the city, based on which side won the Civil War (and how frequently supplies would be sent would also depend on the Civil War's result).
