Darkwater Crossing (Skyrim)

Darkwater Crossing is a mining settlement located in southern Eastmarch. The property is monitored by Stormcloaks or Imperial Legion soldiers, depending on events during the Civil War. Verner and Annekke's House is located near the entrance of the mine. The miners recently started to have a case of bad cough down in the mine and are seeking the help of the alchemist in Windhelm.
==Facilities==
There are sleeping bags beside a campfire near the mine, a wood chopping block near the house, and blacksmith equipment on-site.
==Notable items==
*The heavy armor skill book Chimarvamidium on a barrel, next to some bedding.
*Corundum Ore – 4 veins found in Goldenrock Mine.
==Residents==
*Annekke Crag-Jumper
*Derkeethus
*Hrefna
*Tormir
*Sondas Drenim
*Verner Rock-Chucker
The residents of Darkwater Crossing, particularly Tormir and Hrefna, often mention a pair of men, Dasturn and Meieran. Their dialogue implies that the two are also residents of Darkwater Crossing. Neither of the two actually appear here, however.
==Random encounters==
There is a random encounter spawn-point next to Darkwater Crossing, to the southeast just behind the mine. If the random encounter includes hostiles, they may wander into the town and start attacking the residents.
==Trivia==
*Ulfric Stormcloak, Ralof, Gunjar, and several Stormcloak soldiers were caught up in an Imperial ambush near this location and were subsequently taken to Helgen for execution. The horse thief Lokir was caught up in the same raid, as was the Last Dragonborn, who was caught while crossing the border from Cyrodiil. This is revealed in the quest "Before the Storm" by Ralof if the Dragonborn chose to follow him out of Helgen in the quest "Unbound" after starting a new game and creating their character.
**The residents of Darkwater Crossing make no mention of the ambush, and they cannot be asked about it.
==Bugs==
* Dragons may respawn here repeatedly after fast traveling to Darkwater Crossing every time. Dragon Souls may or may not be collected every time this happens.
