Resources for Dawnstar and Northshore Reply to this Post Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Posts Report Post to a Moderator       Go to the top of this page
In a final attempt to stall before getting back to the tileset :) , I was looking at the map of Skyrim and reading some of the lore on this board to try to get a feel for this region. The very first thing that struck me is that this region would be utterly dominated economically by both Solitude and Winterhold, which seems confirmed by the regional economic entries on this thread. After all, Northshore is bracketed by two capes, and ships don't sail around capes without very good reason. So it makes sense that ships from other provinces would dock at the two major cities and offload without proceeding on to Dawnstar. This means that most traffic through Dawnstar would be from Skyrim itself, which would make Northshore essentially an economic vassal of either or possibly both regions. I can't imagine that sitting too well with the Northshoremen, who I picture as being in the mold of the old-style fishermen from Maine or Newfoundland.

I also noticed that Northshore was united via royal marriage to Solitude in this article. When did that happen relative to the Oblivion timeline, and what are your thoughts (from lore or just your ideas) on that regional union? Is Northshore as a whole seething, bickering, or OK with this?

Feel free to post any links regarding this region you find and any commentary is of course welcome. If the moderators will it, this could be the go-to thread for Dawnstar/Northshre lore and history. BTW, does the cellphone game contain any lore about Dawnstar or is it just a dungeon crawl?

Thanks,
Steve

Dawnstar isn't really reliable for much of anything, it's probably a worse source than Arena...

But really it doesn't have much to do with the Architecture...but Dawnstar is most likely to be a fishermen sort of area, you could model some warfs, etc.
