The '''Skaal Village''' is an isolated settlement located on the [[Felsaad Coast]] of the isle of [[Solstheim]]. The [[Skaal]] is a tribe of [[Nords]] who worship the [[All-Maker]], the true creator of the Earth, possibly a variation of [[Lorkhan]].

==Description==
===Geography===
The Skaal Village is located on the northern peaks of Solstheim along the Felsaad Coast. The road to the Village is perilous since a typical traveler would have to deal with a series of Ash Storms and Blizzards to even see the Village from a distance. The Skaal are very unaware of outside problems because of how isolated the village is from the mainland. The Village has no walls and is merely a few houses surrounding a well and the [[Greathall]]. The Village is a very simple one.

==History==
===[[Third Era]]===
{{Main|Skaal Village (Bloodmoon)}}
====Hircine's Hunt under the Bloodmoon====
In [[3E 427]], the [[East Empire Company]] rediscovered the island of Solstheim and established [[Fort Frostmoth]] on the southern coast. By this time, the only settlements on Solstheim were the Skaal Village, [[Thirsk]], and several unnamed [[Riekling]] camps. In the same year, the [[Bloodmoon Prophecy]] had occurred on Solstheim and [[Hircine]], the [[Daedric Prince]] of the Hunt took the three greatest heroes on Solstheim. There was [[Karstaag]] of [[Castle Karstaag]], [[General Falx Carius]] of Frostmoth, and [[Tharsten Heart-Fang]] of the Skaal. The three along with the [[Nerevarine]] took place in the Hunt and the outcome of the Hunt is unknown. Heart-Fang's fate is also undetermined.<ref>Events in {{Bloodmoon}} Main Quest</ref>

====The Return of Miraak & The Last Dragonborn====
[[File:Fate of the Skaal.png|thumb|300px|The Skaal performing the ritual to protect themselves.]]
In [[4E 201]], a group of Cultists gathered together to initiate the return of [[Miraak]], one of the original [[Dragonborn]] that was eventually cast to [[Apocrypha]] to become [[Hermaeus Mora]]'s Champion. The [[All-Maker Stones]] that dot the island were used as a base for temples dedicated to Miraak and the people of Solstheim were hypnotized into building these unholy monuments. The [[Wind Stone]] was used by the Cultists to control the Skaal and to build the temple. The local shaman, [[Storn Crag-Strider]], created a barrier protecting the few remaining citizens in Skaal. The [[Last Dragonborn]] arrived into town after defeating the Skaal at the [[Temple of Miraak]], Storn asked the Dragonborn to travel to [[Saering's Watch]] to learn the ultimate power to defeat Miraak.<ref>Events in {{Dragonborn}}</ref><ref>Events in [[The Temple of Miraak]]</ref>

====Freeing Solstheim; The Summit of Apocrypha====
The Dragonborn learned the words of the [[Bend Will]] [[Thu'um]] and used it to dispel the hypnotic effects of the All-Maker Stones. Miraak's influence began to dwindle and was vulnerable enough to finally perish. The Dragonborn required all three words of the Shout to successfully defeat Miraak but Hermaeus Mora had the final word, he gave the Dragonborn the power in exchange for Storn Crag-Strider's life. The Dovahkiin traveled to Apocrypha to finally defeat Miraak at the Summit of Apocrypha.<ref>Events in [[Cleansing the Stones]]</ref><ref>Events in [[At the Summit of Apocrypha]]</ref>
