Solitude is a major city on the northwest coast of Skyrim, and the capital of both Haafingar and the entire province. It is the largest city in Skyrim and seat of the province's High King, and is built on a natural arch over the Sea of Ghosts. The ruler of Solitude is Jarl Elisif the Fair, widow to the late High King Torygg, with her throne in the Blue Palace.

The city houses many important buildings, including the headquarters of the Imperial Legion in Skyrim, the East Empire Company Warehouse, and the Bards College. The Thalmor Embassy is also near Solitude.

When you enter Solitude for the first time, Roggvir is executed for treason.

For more information on Solitude, see the lore article.

  • Solitude also appears in Arena and ESO.

BugsEdit

  • With the Skyrim Special Edition a door to "Quick Test Cell" can be seen on the local map near the entrance to the city. This door is otherwise invisible and can't be interacted with. It is a placeholder door for the Saints & Seducers Creation which changes it to an entrance to the Solitude Sewers. Without the Creation it is just an exit from the CTest cell. ?
  • There are several reports on the net about CTD in Solitude. Possibly related to Return to Grace. ?
