The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

South of Markarth, near the Karth River, the Old Hroldan Inn stands as one of the oldest surviving inns in Skyrim, its stone foundation said to rest atop the ruins of an ancient fort where Tiber Septim once slept before his rise to Emperor. The inn is modest but sturdy, with timber walls, a warm hearth, and a quiet, weathered charm that speaks to centuries of travelers passing through the Reach. Run by Eydis and her son Skuli, the inn offers food, rest, and stories—some true, others wrapped in legend. The back room, known locally as "Tiber's Room," is a source of pride for the innkeepers, and strange happenings have been reported there, especially after dark. For pilgrims, historians, and curious wanderers alike, Old Hroldan Inn is more than a rest stop—it's a place where the past lingers just beneath the floorboards.
