Overview

Eorlund Gray-Mane

The Skyforge is located in the Wind District (Location), just besides the mead hall, Jorrvaskr (Location), in the city of Whiterun (Location). The Skyforge’s blacksmith, Eorlund Gray-Mane, is a member of The Companions. According to Adrianne Avenicci (Character) -- herself a Blacksmith working at Warmaiden's -- Eorlund Gray-Mane is the best Blacksmith in the whole of Whiterun. He crafts his well-made weapons, shields and armor here. The Skyforge got its name due to its elevated location. The forge is larger than most forges in Skyrim.

The Underforge

Underforge

Underneath the Skyforge is a hidden place known as the Underforge. The Circle, a secret society, uses Underforge as their meeting place. This is only available for those that join The Circle (Concept). The Underforge is only accessible during the Companions quest line.

History

The Skyforge is ancient and predates Jorrvaskr (Location) by many years. Not much is known from the time before Ysgramor, the founder of the Companions, and the 500 companions. The ancient forge is said to be older than both men and Snow Elves. The discoverer of the Skyforge was a captain in the Companions known under the name of “Jeek of the River”.

Jeek of the

River followed a rumor he had heard from captured Snow Elves. The discovery led eventually to a settlement. Just twenty-one of the 500 companions settled down here and they built their headquarters, Jorrvaskr. This led to the founding of a city named Whiterun (Location).

The Skyforge is also where members of the Companions are cremated when they died.
