Falkreath (Skyrim)

Template:InfoboxSkyrimCity

Falkreath is one of the major cities located in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Description

Falkreath is the only major city within Falkreath Hold and thus, is home to its Jarl. The town lies in the southwest of the province of Skyrim, near the borders of Hammerfell and Cyrodiil. At one period in history, Falkreath was part of Cyrodiil. Later, the town became a settlement in Skyrim. The Jarl of Falkreath is Jarl Siddgeir.

The city lies in a valley near the centre of the Falkreath Hold, in the low-lying forest area some distance west of Helgen. It is one of the smaller major cities, with no real walls surrounding it and no large buildings. The town more represents a small farming village rather than a major city. The Hammerfell border can be accessed by road a short walk west of the city.

The graveyard of Falkreath contains many famous Nords who requested to be buried in Falkreath, next to the other honoured dead of past battles. Since they were constantly living alongside the dead, the people of Falkreath gave many of their shops and other buildings names related to death. As its residents will tell you, Falkreath was the place of many battles in the past, being the main reason for the large graveyard.

Notes

Due to the high likelihood of dragon attacks curbing the civilian population of Falkreath and the random nature of several quests occurring in Falkreath, quests which satisfy the 'assist the people of Falkreath' element of becoming thane can be difficult to come by and/or complete. It is worth knowing that taking Falkreath in the Civil War (at least for the Stormcloaks) counts as one of the three quests. Harvesting crops for Mathies, selling wood to Hert at Half Moon Mill, and investing in stores all count towards the 3 assists.
