The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Nestled along the northern shore of Lake Honrich, just west of Riften, Heartwood Mill is a quiet, lakeside lumber mill run by Grosta, a determined Nord woman managing the property in her husband’s absence. Surrounded by golden trees, shimmering water, and the distant peaks of The Rift, the mill stands as a symbol of quiet perseverance and self-reliance. Though the mill’s operations have slowed due to a lack of support from Grosta’s husband, who has abandoned his duties, it continues to serve the region by supplying timber to nearby settlements. The Dragonborn can help settle the family dispute in the related miscellaneous quest, giving the mill a chance to flourish again. Heartwood Mill is more than a place of labor—it’s a humble but enduring outpost of family, hardship, and the hope that strength of will can weather even the loneliest storms in Skyrim’s wild and wooded heart.
