Guards in Ivarstead are called "Ivarstead Guard," but still wear the Riften Hold emblem on their shields.After the main quest is over, Odahviing may be seen flying around the Throat of the World.If Hearthfire is installed, one clay deposit can be found southeast of Narfi's broken down house and one stone quarry west of it.A troll's lair is nearby, in the direction of Riften, with two dead Stormcloaks carrying a note about investigating mysterious attacks.A Nirnroot plant can also be found just west of Vilemyr Inn by the riverside.If the Dragonborn has started the " Alduin's Bane" quest and heads down to Ivarstead without defeating Alduin, they will still be able to hear Paarthurnax's dialogue and see Alduin flying around the mountaintop.


Due to a faltering economical situation in Ivarstead, no leeks are grown in the village. If fast travel is not an option or not desired, the quartermaster at the Rift Imperial Camp due south of town (or alternatively the Rift Stormcloak Camp due east of town across the lake) constitute the only nearby resupply.īoti, resident of Fellstar Farm, buys leeks, wheat, cabbage and potatoes from the Dragonborn. The citizens are often heard complaining about how they want to leave Ivarstead as there is nothing there.Īpart from buying and selling food at the inn, no merchants are available in Ivarstead. It is, in fact the only town in Skyrim which is not along a major road travelling between two Hold capitals. It is still within the Rift and is therefore governed by Riften. Ivarstead is roughly halfway between Riften and Whiterun.
