Ivarstead

Ivarstead is a small milling town at the base of the Throat of the World.

It is on the shores of Lake Geir, with one of the forks of the Darkwater River powering the sawmill on its way to join the White River. The town consists of five buildings, with Shroud Hearth Barrow just to the east overshadowing the settlement. Some of the town's residents believe the barrow to be haunted; the innkeeper Wilhelm willingly tells you more. He runs Vilemyr Inn at the southern end of the town opposite Klimmek's house. To the north is Fellstar Farm opposite Temba Wide-Arm's sawmill, and across the river is Narfi's destroyed house.

It is a town in decline, with fewer travelers visiting since the haunting of the barrow began. Some residents fear for the town's survival, as many of the townspeople have either left for Riften or want to move away. Pilgrims and travelers often pass through the town on their way up the "7,000 steps" to High Hrothgar.
