The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Tucked along the White River in the southern edge of Eastmarch, Mixwater Mill is a small, quiet lumber operation nestled among misty marshes and hot springs. Surrounded by dense pine forest and geothermal steam rising from the earth, the mill’s wheel turns steadily in the river’s flow, powering the humble life of those who call it home. Operated by Gilfre, a no-nonsense woman who runs the sawmill alone after being abandoned by her hired workers, the mill reflects the grit and resilience required to survive in Eastmarch’s untamed terrain. Despite its isolation, it serves as a modest waypoint for travelers journeying between Windhelm and Riften. Mixwater Mill is more than a sawmill—it’s a symbol of quiet perseverance in a land of fire and frost, where even in the shadow of volcanoes and civil war, the rhythm of honest labor endures.
