The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Tucked beside the village of Kynesgrove, Steamscorch Mine is an active malachite mine nestled into the side of a steaming Eastmarch hillside, warmed by nearby volcanic vents that keep the ground snow-free year-round. Despite its modest appearance, the mine is one of the few sources of refined malachite in Skyrim—making it valuable to both local blacksmiths and traveling merchants. Inside, the air is thick with heat and the echo of pickaxes striking green-glinting ore. Run by a small crew of hardworking miners, the mine operates under the watchful eye of Ganna Uriel and Dravynea the Stoneweaver, the latter using her magic to keep the walls stable and safe from collapse. Steamscorch Mine is more than just a workplace—it’s a lifeline for Kynesgrove, where magic and labor work hand-in-hand to pull beauty from the earth in one of Skyrim’s most geothermally active regions.
