Summary
Karthwasten is a town in Skyrim that is southwest of Solitude contains several houses with Silver Ingots and ore. You must travel through here in order to complete the quest The Heart of Dibella, and A Daedra's Best Friend. When you first get there, two groups are in a heated debate over the mine. This is a miscellaneous quest to assist with ownership of the mine.


 * 1000 gold is gained either way (if you kill the Silver Bloods) or 1200 if you persuade the Silver Bloods without killing them, to leave. If you pay off the owner (out front on the porch of the house) and have him leave, the head of the Silver Bloods will pay you 1000 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 you a reward in gold. You can then kill him and his entire crew then report back to Ainethach to get another reward.

 * Silver Ore Vein x7 in Sanuarach Mine, x1 in Fenn's Gulch Mine
 * Silver Ore x5 outside near the entrances to the mines
