The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Lying broken and frost-covered off the northern coast near Dawnstar, the Wreck of the Winter War is the shattered remains of an old merchant or military vessel, now half-submerged in the icy waters of the Sea of Ghosts. Ice clings to its ruined hull, and jagged splinters of wood jut from the shoreline where the ship was dashed against the rocks. Once a proud ship braving the frigid northern trade routes, it now serves as a bandit hideout, with makeshift campfires, loot-filled crates, and signs of recent activity scattered across the wreckage. The masts are snapped, the deck is split, and the bitter wind howls through the remains—yet danger lingers amid the wreck, as its new occupants defend their claim with steel. The Wreck of the Winter War is a frozen tomb and a warning—where commerce met catastrophe, and the cold sea swallowed both hope and hull beneath the ever-falling snow.
