Left Hand Mine is a mine found near Markarth. It is just off the road from the city, near the river.

Background[]

Left Hand Mine is a mining community located just outside Markarth's gates. Its buildings are in the same style as the city of Markarth and the attendant stables. It is busier than usual due to the large amount of miners who have fled from the nearby Kolskeggr Mine, which has been overrun by Forsworn Raiders.

Inside the mine, there is plenty of iron to be mined. When the Dragonborn enters the area, he or she encounters Skaggi Scar-Face and some other miners from Left Hand conversing with Pavo Attius and Gat gro-Shargakh. He or she can then get the quest "Clear Kolskeggr Mine" from either Skaggi or Pavo.

Quests[]

Clear Kolskeggr Mine[]

Pavo and Gat Gro-Shargakh were miners working the Kolskeggr Mine until the Forsworn invaded and took it over. When the Dragonborn encounters them at Left-Hand Mine, they see villagers talking and approaching Kolskeggr Mine. The Dragonborn can choose a conversation that will take care of the problem.
