GeographyEdit

According to Ralof, this is where the Imperials ambushed and captured the Stormcloaks involved in the events at the beginning of the game. However, the road the player is traveling during the beginning of the game leads to the south to Cyrodiil, despite the fact that Helgen is to the southwest of Darkwater Crossing. This could be due to the fact that the Stormcloaks were captured two days prior to the events in Helgen.

FacilitiesEdit

There are sleeping bags beside a campfire near the mine, a wood chopping block near the house, and blacksmith equipment on-site.

Notable lootEdit

• The heavy armor skill book Chimarvamidium.
• Corundum Ore - several veins found in Goldenrock Mine.

ResidentsEdit

• Annekke Crag-Jumper
• Derkeethus
• Hrefna
• Tormir
• Sondas Drenim
• Verner Rock-Chucker

The residents of Darkwater Crossing, particularly Tormir and Hrefna, often mention a pair of men, Dasturn and Meieran. Their dialogue implies that the two are also residents of Darkwater Crossing. Neither of the two actually appear here, however.

Random encountersEdit

There is a random encounter spawn-point next to Darkwater Crossing, to the southeast just behind the mine. If the random encounter includes hostiles, they may wander into the town and start attacking the residents.

TriviaEdit

This is where the convoy carrying Ulfric Stormcloak and Ralof was ambushed before they were taken to Helgen. This is revealed in the quest Before the Storm.

BugsEdit

 360  Dragons may respawn here repeatedly after fast traveling to Darkwater Crossing every time. Dragon Souls may or may not be collected every time this happens.
