The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Tucked into the mountainside above Shor’s Stone, Redbelly Mine is a small but vital iron mine that supplies ore to the surrounding region and feeds the livelihoods of the village’s hardworking residents. Despite its modest size, the mine has faced more than its share of trouble—most notably, a dangerous frostbite spider infestation that forced the miners to abandon their work until help arrived. The mine’s name comes from the red-tinged walls within, caused by an unusual mineral discoloration that gives the entire interior a faint crimson hue. Though primarily worked by local Nords, it’s watched over by Filnjar, the village blacksmith and community leader. Redbelly Mine is more than just a hole in the rock—it’s the lifeblood of Shor’s Stone, a symbol of honest labor and community resilience in the shadow of Skyrim’s wild frontier.
