The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Carved into the rocky cliffs of Dawnstar, Quicksilver Mine is a vital source of the rare and valuable ore that bears its name. Operated by a small team of seasoned miners, the site is lit by lanterns that flicker against the cold stone walls, casting long shadows over carts, tools, and rich silver-veined rock. The air inside is thick with the metallic scent of earth and sweat, and the rhythmic clang of pickaxes echoes day and night. Though less trafficked than larger mines, Quicksilver remains essential to the town’s economy—quietly fueling trade, crafting, and coin beneath the snow.
