Holds of Skyrim

The whole series in one post! Can't believe it's done :) I'm really proud of myself! Thank you all for the kind words and the warmest support! it means a lot to me 😳 Through this series, I wanted to convey this feeling of...awe that I had when I first played Skyrim. And I am delighted that this project made some of you feel this way. I love TES community that I have here very much 💗

Dominating the western border of Skyrim, the Reach is made up almost entirely of steep, craggy mountains. These are the Highlands of Skyrim, a rugged environment with few flat clearings, dotted with juniper trees and rich in valuable ores, especially silver.

Sitting on the southern edge of the Drajkmyr Marsh, dry ground can be hard to come by in Morthal. The Hjaalmarch Hold is often shrouded in a thick fog, and ominous twisted trees grow from the surrounding marsh. Many travelers choose to steer clear of the place altogether.

This hold occupies the southeast corner of Skyrim and is dominated by tall mountain peaks. The climate is milder than in the northern holds and there is more vegetation to be found here. Farming thrives as a result. Much of the Rift is composed of lush, autumn-colored valleys and rivers.

This central hold is characterized by wide, grassy plains that are home to numerous farms. Many roads pass through Whiterun, joining the more distant holds together.

I’ve been working on this series of landscapes for a while! More Holds of Skyrim ahead, hope you all will like it :’)
