Northern Bathhouses

Remember yourself travelling a long road and making your way through the frozen Skyrim tundra, fighting dragons and camping outside? Well, I think we all know what it is. And I always thought that there is something missing when I return home. Some place to relax, - but the tavern is not enough for full relaxation in such a cold, windy land. So I decided to add a bathhouse to the each of the cities. I've added one in Markarth, Solitude, Morthal, Whiterun, Dawnstar and Riften. The bathhouses are not just separate buildings or cells. They are closely connected to each city they are in. Each bathhouse has its own name, style (depending on the city's appearance and prosperity) and citizens know about its existence, so they will rest there during the evening after work.

Hoarfrost bathhouse is located in Whiterun, behind Arcadia's Cauldron. It is a small old shack with a steam-room and some space to cool off a bit. It was built on the initiative of the Battle-Born clan many years ago, and they are still its rightful owners. They allow everyone to use it freely.

Riften's bathhouse is located in the basement of Bee And Barb tavern. Talen has always wanted to provide customers with a good sauna, and not so long ago he and Kirava were able to finish the establishment. It is free for all wishing to visit it. Even Maven likes to rest there at night.

Because of the wet climate in Hjaalmarch, the people in Morthal prefer to stay dry. They initially opposed to opening a bathhouse. But when the idea of making a bathhouse with healing abilities sprung to life, that soon changed. The water in the bathhouse is said to be infused with special herbs; a secret recipe known only by the owner. Whatever it is, it certainly works against pain in body and mind.

Windhelm bathhouse is called Njári Haftungur and has quite the story... Fragments of an old books that were found in Windhelm’s libraries state
