The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Perched atop a craggy peak on the border of The Rift and Eastmarch, Northwind Summit is a towering Dragon Shrine that offers one of the most breathtaking views in all of Skyrim. Accessible through the winding paths of Northwind Mine, the summit rests high above the treeline, where cold winds cut through the silence and snow swirls around ancient Nordic stonework. A Word Wall stands at the edge of the cliff, glowing with the etched language of dragons and granting a word of the Elemental Fury shout. Often guarded by a dragon, the summit is both a sacred place and a battleground, where ancient power calls to the Dragonborn beneath open sky. Northwind Summit is more than a mountaintop—it’s a place of solitude, strength, and storm, where the voice of the past is carried on the wind, and the skies themselves bear witness to the awakening of forgotten might.
