The Pale

The Pale is one of the Nine Holds of Skyrim. It is one of the four oldest holds in Skyrim, known collectively as Old Holds

The Capital City in The Pale is Dawnstar. The Jarl of Dawnstar and The Pale is Jarl Skald The Elder.

The Pale is located on the mid-north area of Skyrim and extending to the northern coast where Dawnstar is situated. The hold borders Hjaalmarch to the west, Whiterun to the south, and Winterhold and Eastmarch to the east. Most of the region is treacherously cold, with almost the entire hold being covered in a snowy winter tundra. Only the southernmost part of the hold towards Whiterun becomes grassy plains.

The Pale may take its name from the real world Pale, the Medieval name for the area surrounding modern day Dublin, in Ireland. The area was controlled by the English until the full conquering of Ireland.
