Raven Rock is a settlement in the Hirstaang Forest created by the East Empire Company (EEC). When you first encounter the colony, it is a bare patch of open snow. As you progress, buildings are constructed and it becomes a center for murder and intrigue.
Raven Rock MineEdit
The colony of Raven Rock was built on top of a vast ebony deposit. The mine produces ebony for the EEC to be processed and shipped to Cyrodiil. The indigenous Nords resent the Empire's expansionism and its disregard for the balance of nature on Solstheim and are known for their utter contempt for Imperial authority. The setting of the mine on an apparent ancient burial chamber doesn't help relations with the natives. The importance of those relations is demonstrated when some sort of impenetrable ice, Stalhrim, halts progress and the EEC is forced to seek solutions from those very same Nords.
Getting There and AroundEdit
Transport by boat is available between Fort Frostmoth and the colony. The trail to Fort Frostmoth through Hirstaang Forest is fairly quick, but treacherous for the unprepared. Divine Intervention from here takes you to Fort Frostmoth, while Almsivi Intervention leads all the way back to Gnisis.
NotesEdit
- There is a small chance that a Gibbering Lunatic—a male level 87 Breton Barbarian—spawns east of Raven Rock, past the little stone hill and then a little to the south. He turns into a Werewolf between 9pm and 6am.
- Several of the houses and the town walls are absent on Xbox. The only buildings present, other than the Factor's Estate and the trader/smith (which are built during the quests), are: the Raven Rock Mine, the Bar, the North Storehouse, Uryn Maren's House, the watchtower next to the Trader and Veresa Alver's ship. There are not even the walls surrounding the place.

***There is no Sados Relothan anywhere in the game, and this house is completely unoccupied. Oddly, one item in it is listed as belonging to Sakin Sanammasour, an otherwise un-notable Ashlander living in Suran.
