Skyrim: 5 Things They Never Told You About Dawnstar

Skyrim is a land of numerous bustling cities and settlements and among the coldest and most ancient, is Dawnstar. The capital of the Pale, Dawnstar sits on Skyrim's icy northern coast and is among the chilliest places in all of Tamriel. Occupying a central position in many of Skyrim's quests, questlines and narratives, most players are quite familiar with this frosty hamlet but there's almost certainly quite a lot about this place you may never have imagined. So today we'll be taking a look at five things you (probably) didn't know about Dawnstar in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

I hope that when Elder Scrolls 6 is released, it’ll feature a character called Nate the Epic who sits in taverns drinking mead and telling you random facts about Tamriel

"Lets talk about something less miserable."

M’aiq has been in dawnstar before. M’aiq never understood why there was a hidden chest between some rocks

[eternalmiasma]

I love how DawnStar has “bustling sea trade” yet has only one dock

[sammyi]

Not going to lie, Seren is probably one of my favorite town NPCs just because we get to know so much about her (for NPC stardards) and it's clear that she and husband seem very happy together. It's hard to see that dynamic in Skyrim because most NPCs are so flat or not expanded on enough to be relatable.

Whenever the umpteenth million dragon spawns in Dawnstar, I always check to be sure those two are still around.

Actually Seren's pregnancy is easier to learn about than you thought Nate, if you ask if he is in charge of the forge he will tell you that he works with his wife who is with child and that she is concerned the baby won't learn about redguard culture in Skyrim before asking you to bring him a copy of Night Falls on Sentinel if you find one.

[Sirdarksalot]

"historic, divided and cold" just like my parents

[Silverin_]

Nate: "She's pregnant."

The devils murdering everyone in the entire game: "FINALLY! A CHILD FOR THE SLAUGHTER!!!"

[averyvonfrank]

The last time I was this early, the Ice Tribes were invading Dawnstar.

[Jbarbs]

"Bethesda straight up lied to you"
Oh boy I've heard that before

[WhatYourGrandpaSays]

The museum wasn’t opened yet last time when I was this early.

[ZeusStormbringer]

*strikes Seren*
Halo Announcer: "Double kill."
"oh gods, what have I done."

[MrZajin]

Tip for a (very) tiny detail: When you complete that random encounter with Cicero and his broken wagon, it counts as a Dark Brotherhood Quest in the stats page, which would be a bit confusing If you are playing for the first time and have no idea that he is even part of the DB.

[Bublio]

When I found out a character was actually pregnant in Dawnstar I was actually really happy and whenever I visited I would try to remember her and make sure no random encounter showed up to hurt her. ^_^

[cookiewoke]

Aww Dawnstar, I remember my first play though going there after visiting Whiterun and Riften. It was....disappointing.

[phantomhurricane]

speaking of unique facial features, the altmer bloke in markarth has a unique mouth. so unique, it can't be recreated in character creation. not without mods anyway.

[JacJGraham]

You, my sir, got me back into Skyrim after like 2 years away from Bethesday RPG's. Thanks for the lore and interesting content! Keep at it!

[AaronLassen]

Hey it's Dawnstar... that town I ignore until the DB moved to after Astrid acts like a spoiled wench

[knicpon]

10:27 he really missed out by not saying “the more you nose”

[itchythot]

"serin is pregnant"

Me knowing that I killed her: 👁️👄👁️
