Shor's Stone (Skyrim)

It is a settlement in the northeast of The Rift. It can be found by heading in between north and northwest from Riften, past Fort Greenwall.

This location consists of a blacksmith's shop with workstations and a smelter, two houses, and Redbelly Mine from which Ebony Ore can be mined.

Interactions
Arriving at night, one can see all of Shor's Stone's residents gathered around a campfire discussing personal troubles. Approaching Filnjar and inquiring about troubles with the mine will initiate a miscellaneous objective to clear Redbelly Mine of frostbite spiders.

Notable items

 * 3 Ebony Ores next to the Smelter
 * 3 Ebony Ore Veins in Redbelly Mine

Inhabitants

 * Filnjar
 * Sylgja
 * Grogmar gro-Burzag in Odfel's House.
 * Odfel

Marriage
Speaking to Sylgja will initiate a quest to deliver a satchel of letters to her father Verner in Darkwater Crossing for her. After completing the quest for her, she then becomes eligible to marry if the player has the Amulet of Mara equipped giving you joint ownership of her house.

Speaking to Filnjar will initiate a quest to clear the Redbelly Mine of Frostbite Spiders. He will become eligible for marriage after the quest is completed.

Trivia

 * The Bethesda Softworks Official Guidebook, written by David S.J Hodgson and Steve Stratton and in some cases sold bundled with the game, lists Redbelly Mine as an Iron Ore Mine when the only ore that can be found in it is in fact Ebony. This incongruity is also present in character dialogue when speaking to Filnjar, the blacksmith. He says that the mine was only an iron mine, but they discovered a new ore he wanted to identify. He is referring to a Moonstone (or Quicksilver) ore the player brings to the alchemist's wife in Riften. He states that Redbelly Mine is an Iron Mine (implying that it was, before the Ebony, and Moonstone or Quicksilver was discovered).
 * Dragons constantly attack over the mountain behind Sylgja's house. There can be as many as 3 every five days that attack.

Bugs

 * The Frostbite Spiders in Redbelly mine will respawn even after the miscellaneous quest is completed and may kill any named characters, but Filnjar will give you a reward after killing them.
 * It is possible for Filnjar to die while you are inside the mine. This will cause your miscellaneous quest "Retrieve an ore sample from Shor's Stone" to be written off as "Failed".
