Falkreath Hold

Falkreath Hold (or simply called Falkreath) is one of the main holds of Skyrim, known for its lush pine forest. Lake Ilinalta is the province's largest body of freshwater and it takes a significant portion of the hold. Falkreath has an ancient association with battle and death as its capital city is known as the "heroes' graveyard" and contains one of the largest sites in the province. Its people are generally prosperous farmers and loggers, thanks to the Ilinalta. Throughout history, Falkreath has shifted between the Kingdom of Skyrim and the Colovian Estates, the autonomous government of western Cyrodiil. The region is a major thoroughfare in northern Tamriel as it branches the southern holds of Skyrim with the northern reaches of west-central Tamriel. It is historically neighbored by the Jerall Mountains to the south, the Reach to the northwest, the Rift to the east, and Whiterun Hold to the north.From across the provincial border to the south, Falkreath is connected to northern Cyrodiil near County Bruma and Craglorn in northeast Hammerfell.
