Nightgate Inn is an inn located along the main road between Dawnstar and Windhelm.
Description
Alongside the inn is a small lake with a sheltered pier. Its layout is typical of inns found throughout Skyrim. It has a large common room with a bar at one end and large fire pit in the center. There are three bedrooms on the main floor with stairs leading down to a large cellar where there is another room that is being rented long-term by an orc, Balagog gro-Nolob.
The inn is owned by Hadring, who will tell the Dragonborn that the inn was built by his great-grandfather.
The inn seems lonely and sorrowful from the exterior, as the cold weather, frozen lake, and lack of life create a bleak setting. Inside is not much different; the only other patron, Fultheim, says, when asked why he drinks here, is "Where else would I go to drink?".
