Wayrest

Wayrest, a large city in the province of High Rock, has always been seen as a rival to Daggerfall, which was already well established when it first was founded at the mouth of the Bjoulsae River. Wayrest, however, prospered greatly after the Fall of Orsinium in 1E 980 when the commerce of all of Tamriel began to pass through its gates. Today the city can boast the largest and richest population in High Rock.

Western Reach

The Reach is actually the Eastern most section of the province of High Rock and its name is derived from its location on Skyrim's western border. It was one of the Skyrim Holds during the First Empire which was retaken by the Aldmeri during the Dissolution of Skyrim's Empire, at a great cost of Nordic life. As a prevention against further incursions from Skyrim, the Elves fashioned the Western Reach into an impregnable barrier. It was because of this that the Reach remained under Elven rule the longest of any part of High Rock which can still be seen today.

Even for Bretons, Reachmen are a mongrel breed composed of nearly every race on Tamriel. Although the Elven Overlords were killed when the Reach was 'freed', Aldmeri blood is still strong in the Reachmen and share many Elven traits. They also learned customs and magic from the Orcs who share the mountains of the Reach. The Reachmagic is still widely studied although banned by the Mages Guild who fear it as dangerous and wild. Reachmen are often refered to as the Witchmen of High Rock.

Windhelm

Once the capitol of of the First Empire, the old palace of the Ysgramor dynasty can still be seen in the center of the city. The palaca is in fact one of the few original First empire buildings left as the city has been sacked twice, during the War of Succession and by the Akaviri army of Ada'Soon Dir-Kamal. Windhelm is the only substantial city in the Hold of Eastmarch and is a base for Imperial troops guarding the Dunmeth Pass into Morrowind.

Winterhold

One of the nine Holds in the province of Skyrim and one of the four known as the Old Holds.

Wrothgarian Mountains
