The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

The grand gate of Solitude marks the entrance to Skyrim’s capital, rising from the stone bridge that spans the Karth River below. Flanked by towering walls and guarded day and night, the gate stands as a symbol of the city's strength and order. Travelers entering are met with the imposing archway carved from pale stone, adorned with Imperial banners that flutter in the coastal wind. The sounds of the city—market chatter, marching boots, distant horns—echo faintly beyond. More than a threshold, the Solitude Gate represents the crossing into one of Skyrim’s most powerful and politically charged strongholds.
