Darkwater Crossing is a mine appearing in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It is located in southern Eastmarch. The property is monitored by Stormcloaks or Imperial Legion soldiers, depending on the choices made during the Skyrim Civil War. Verner and Annekke's House is located near the entrance of the mine.

Geography

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 subverted by the fact that the Stormcloaks being captured was 2 days prior to the events in Helgen.

Amenities

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

Notable loot

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

Residents

• 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 encounters

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 and killing the residents.
