Karthwasten (Skyrim)

 is a small settlement in The Reach.

Summary
Karthwasten has several houses that contain silver ingots and ore and two silver mines. The Dragonborn visits here in order to complete the quest The Heart of Dibella. When the Dragonborn first arrives here, two groups are in a heated debate over the mine. There is a miscellaneous quest to determine who has control of the mine.


 * If all of the Silver-Blood mercenaries are killed, or persuaded to leave, the reward is a leveled amount of gold.


 * It is also possible through talking with the Silver-Blood leader to persuade Ainethach to sell his mine. Report back to the Silver Blood leader in the mine and he will give a leveled reward in gold.
 * One can then kill him and his entire crew then report back to Ainethach to get another reward.

Notable loot

 * Silver Ore x 5 outside near the entrances to the mines.
 * Silver Ingot x 2 near the ores outside Fenn's Gulch Mine.

Trivia

 * Two smelters are located here, one outside of each mine.
 * In Season Unending, it is stated that a massacre took place here.
 * Oddly, sometimes when leaving Sanuarach Mine (the largest of the two mines) the corpse of a hagraven will be lying outside by the smelter. Very rarely, this hagraven will carry an empty black soul gem.

Quests

 * The Heart of Dibella
 * Convince Atar to leave Sanuarach Mine or Convince Ainethach to sell Sanuarach Mine - Settle a dispute over Sanuarach Mine

Bugs

 * Directly southeast of Karthwasten near where a Nirnroot plant is found, another Nirnroot plant can be heard on the opposite side of the river, near the canyon wall. Using console commands, the Nirnroot can be found below the ground where the cliff meets the water.
