Also available on Bethesda.net.

"Just look at this place. Is this what passes for a fort in Skyrim?"

Do not install the Lawbringer module while in the Hjorkvild Isles.

Lawbringer is a great mod that allows you to claim locations around Skyrim for a faction of your choice, ensuring that they 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 them feels very impactful.

This mod is the fourth in my series of Lawbringer addons, and it will add support for four factions to claim a single location from Siege at Icemoth: the titular Fort Icemoth!

This mod's FOMOD installer also contains several small tweaks for Siege at Icemoth. The main Lawbringer module is not required to use these tweaks.

Haafingar Hold 

Haafingar Hold is one of the nine holds of Skyrim and contains the province's capital, Solitude. The region is known for its wealth and distinctly Imperial way of life compared to the rest of Skyrim. The Hjorkvild Isles are considered part of Haafingar Hold, but they currently have no presence there to reinforce the claim. Fort Icemoth would be a prime location to establish a garrison and reestablish themselves in the Sea of Ghosts.

 Kingdom of Jehanna 

The Kingdom of Jehanna, one of High Rock's eight major kingdoms, has a long history of conflict with Skyrim; its ownership has oscillated between the two regions several times. To this day, some Nords in Jehanna still believe the kingdom should instead be a Skyrim hold. The Hjorkvild Isles have famously been a disputed territory between Jehanna and Haafingar. While ostensibly under the rule of the Jarl of Solitude, they currently have little actual power over the area. If Fort Icemoth can be cleared, it would make a good place for the Kingdom of Jehanna to reassert their claim on the isles to the north.

 The Imperial Legion 

The Imperial Legion is the military branch of the Mede Empire. They exert influence across Cyrodiil, High Rock, and Skyrim, with the latter having a stronger presence than normal due to the ongoing civil war. Fort Icemoth was previously an Imperial fort, but they were forced to abandon it due to deteriorating supply lines caused by the Great War. Once the fort is resecured, it may be a good time for the Legion to reestablish themselves at Fort Icemoth to strengthen their northern trade routes.
