The city is rumoured to house the Dark Brotherhood sanctuary and the housing of a few other illegal activies that link back to Riften. The city itself is an exile garrison city for those who are needing a change in scenery. It houses two very important mines; The Iron-Breaker Mine and the Quicksilver Mine. The two mines supply iron and quicksilver to the city itself and other cities throughout the holds. The city walls have long fallen and lay in ruin around the city, but are slowly being rebuilt as the population increases again.
