Map
Location	Wind District, Whiterun
Characters	Eorlund Gray-Mane

The Skyforge is an ancient forge located next to Jorrvaskr in Whiterun that is said to be older than men and mer.

HistoryEdit

The Skyforge was first discovered by Jeek of the River and his crew who were traveling south from Hsaarik Head to settle. They scouted the area later named Whiterun Hold and found a mysterious structure that was described as "a monument of a bird whose eyes and beak were opened in flame". It was discovered that the monument was feared by the native elves and suspecting that it held great power, Jeek and his crew settled and built Jorrvaskr at the foot of the Skyforge, so it would provide their steel.^[1]

The UnderforgeEdit

Under the Skyforge is The Underforge, where The Circle holds its meetings and worships Hircine. There is also a passage to the right of the stone bowl that leads to a secret exit out of the city. It is here that the Dragonborn is inducted into the Circle by a blood ritual involving Aela the Huntress and Skjor.

Resident blacksmithEdit

The forge is used mainly by Eorlund Gray-Mane to craft armor and weapons for The Companions. Completing the quest Proving Honor will allow the Dragonborn to receive a free skyforged weapon of their choice, handcrafted by Eorlund. If Eorlund's trust has been gained, he will also allow the Skyforge to be used. He sells iron and steel ingots and is the master trainer for smithing.

TriviaEdit

• There is also skill book for Smithing beside the Skyforge itself.
• The Skyforge does not contain a Tanning Rack, Workbench, or a Smelter unlike other smithies.
• The Skyforge, unlike other forges, does not deal fire damage when walked on.

BugsEdit

•  360  On rare occasion, when fast-traveling to Whiterun, large parts of the Skyforge/Underforge will not load, allowing one to fall through the map ten feet or so and then run around underneath Jorrvaskr and outside of Whiterun, (the player may not interact with anything outside the Whiterun walls, since only Whiterun and everything inside is loaded). Eorlund Gray-Mane will be found dead underneath the hidden chest where the Underforge should be. Reloading a previous save fixes this.
