For this mine in Online, see Shor's Stone Mine.

Redbelly Mine is a mine found north-northwest of Riften, within the settlement of Shor's Stone.

History[]

The locals describe Redbelly Mine as an iron mine with a red mist of unknown origin, which can be seen at the bottom of the dig. Even though it is supposed to be an iron mine, the miners have found quicksilver and ebony as well.

Walkthrough[]

The mine is located just west-northwest of Filnjar's House.

The path from the entrance leads down to the west to a wooden bridge that crosses a large circular pit containing several frostbite spiders. Halfway across the bridge is a spur to the right which leads to a dead end. Further along the bridge is another dead end alcove. However, from this end, a ramp leads down to the left (west), guarded by several more spiders. The ramp spirals down along the walls of the pit to the floor, where there are several iron ore veins.

Notable items[]

  • Ebony ore from three veins. Vein locations are:
    1. Just before the last ramp down to the bottom of the pit, on the floor.
    2. Immediately at the bottom of the final ramp on the floor.
    3. On the opposite side of the floor of the mine from the last ramp.

Quests[]

Mine or Yours[]

The Redbelly Mine has been overrun by frostbite spiders. Fortunately, no one has been hurt, but the spiders are keeping the miners from their work and so the flow of money in the settlement. Filnjar asks the Dragonborn to clear them out.

Trivia[]

  • Even though the ore that Filjnar pulled from the mine is seen to be quicksilver ore when it is given to Hafjorg, there is no actual quicksilver that can be found within the mine.
  • It is possible to Whirlwind Sprint to the opening in the side of the mine wall just above the ramp. However, there is only a corpse suspended from the ceiling.
  • It is possible that the "red mist" in Redbelly Mine may be related to the Redwater Spring, as it contains the same red mist and is located nearby west of the mine.
