📋 About This Mod

Also available on Bethesda.net.

"Just remember, Raven Rock is sovereign territory of House Redoran. This is Morrowind, not Skyrim. While you're here you will be expected to abide by our laws."

— Adril Arano

Lawbringer is a great mod that allows you to claim locations around Skyrim for a faction of your choice, ensuring that it will only respawn in the future with friendly NPCs. It is really enjoyable to claim locations and see a tangible impact on the world around you. Places like Valtheim Keep and Pine Watch Bridge are fun locations because they are bandit camps stationed on the roadway, so claiming feels very impactful.

This is the third in my series of Lawbringer addons. Previously I have brought law to Wyrmstooth and Cyrodiil, now it is Solstheim's turn! This mod will add support for three factions and three locations on the island of Solstheim.

House Redoran

House Redoran is one of the five Morrowind Great Houses, they see tradition and the way of the warrior of the greatest ideals of Dunmer life. After the eruption of Red Mountain the Redoran found themself in a position of power and ended up as one of the most powerful houses. They have controlled Solstheim for nearly two centuries but, despite their famed martial prowess, they are unable to exert much influence outside of Raven Rock due to the harsh conditions and lack of resources. There is much untapped potential on the island, potential that House Redoran would be very interested in exploiting if given the chance.

The East Empire Company

Requires completion of The Final Descent.

The East Empire Company is a trading business that is funded by the Empire but works independently from the government proper. They maintain a small but powerful standing army of mercenaries to protect their interests around Tamriel. Raven Rock was originally founded as a Company Colony in the late Third Era, however they were forced to move out of the island when Solstheim was given to Morrowind and House Redoran moved in. While the East Empire Company has largely ignored the island since they pulled out, the reopening of the Raven Rock Mine has prompted them to reconsider their current position.

The Thirsk Tribe

Requires completion of The Chief of Thirsk Hall.

The Thirsk Tribe is a new riekling power in the central Solstheim region. The tribe is centered around the titular mead hall that they recently usurped from the inhabiting Nord warriors. Riekling society is comprised of many different tribes across Solstheim, rivalries run deep and violence is quick to break out between the disparate groups. Embold

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Huge community trust: 1,636 endorsements and over 865k downloads show it's a go-to for Solstheim expansion.
  • Directly builds on the popular Lawbringer mod, so if you already use that, this is a seamless add-on.
  • Fills a gap by bringing claimable locations to Solstheim, which the base Lawbringer doesn't cover.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires the original Lawbringer mod to work, so it's not standalone.
  • Last updated in April 2026, but no compatibility notes for newer Skyrim versions or other mods.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who already use Lawbringer and want to extend its claimable locations to Solstheim. If you're a completionist who loves clearing and claiming bandit forts and ruins, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't use Lawbringer or prefer gameplay overhauls over location tweaks.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have the original Lawbringer mod installed and activated before adding this one, or the new locations won't work.
  • Load this mod after Lawbringer in your load order to ensure proper integration.
  • If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
