There is a barren dirt road leading into the Dwarven ruins of the Pale and the lightly-forested area of Western Winterhold. This region has a massive mountain range that separates this area with the Pale in the west, on the other side of the mountain. The reaches of Western Winterhold are barren, virtually void of living beings, only the dying wolf packs and the demented Falmer Elves live in this frozen wasteland.
The Frostflow Lighthouse watches over Winterhold and the Sea of Ghosts.
