Hjaalmarch or Hjaalmarch Hold[1] is a lowland coastal hold in Skyrim.[2] Roughly half the hold consists of the Drajkmyr marsh,[3] south of which is the capital and only major settlement Morthal (although Stonehills and some farmsteads lie on the tundra of Hailstone Valley).[2] The region is veined with waterways that empty into the Sea of Ghosts, and the Skyborn Range further isolates the area from the eastern and southern border.[4]
Hjaalmarch is home to the Karth delta,[5] also called the Mouths of the Karth,[6] where the mighty Karth River and the smaller River Hjaal (from whence the hold's name is derived)[7] empty into the Sea of Ghosts through a variety of intricate channels. The Deathbell flower is known to be abundant throughout the swamps.[8] Many ruins dot the hold, including the legendary Labyrinthian.[9][10] Combined with the fog that surrounds the marshes and the creatures that stalk the land (Wispmothers purportedly originated here), Hjaalmarch is considered one of the more mysterious holds in Skyrim.[9][11]
Hjaalmarch has the lowest taxes of the nine holds, but it is also the poorest hold.[3]
