The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Sprawling across the northern side of Falkreath, the Falkreath Graveyard is the largest burial ground in all of Skyrim—a vast field of weathered tombstones, family crypts, and ancient memorials shrouded in mist and silence. Surrounded by dark pine trees and the distant sound of ravens, the graveyard defines the identity of the town itself, casting a solemn presence over daily life. Generations of Nords, from fallen soldiers to lost children, rest beneath its soil, watched over by caretakers like Runil, priest of Arkay, and alchemist Zaria, who believes the land is blessed by death. Many quests begin or end here, including those tied to tragedy, justice, or remembrance. Falkreath Graveyard is more than a final resting place—it is the soul of the hold, where grief is a familiar companion, and where the past lingers not just in stone, but in the hearts of all who live in its quiet shadow.
