📋 About This Mod
"This here's Candlehearth Hall. Great room's upstairs, an' there's a bed for rent on the ground floor."
- Elda Early-Dawn
- Description -
Candlehearth Hall is the inn of Windhelm, located right after the main gate, in the center of the city. To the citizens of Windhelm, it is a place of warmth, comfort, and security, where all the troubles of the outside world are drowned away by cold mead. The building was originally home to a great warrior named Vundheim from the early Fourth Era. When he died his son, Deroct, lit a candle above the hearth in his honor. Since that day, the candle has never gone out and as such the inn owes its name to this phenomenon.
