The passage revealed the entrance to Vahlok's Tomb. According to Tharstan, a new passage was unveiled during an earthquake caused by the eruption of Red Mountain. However, his recent discovery has left him quite nervous about exploring by himself, so he wants you to accompany him as backup. After your heroic rescue of Baldor Iron-Shaper during the quest A New Source of Stalhrim, Tharstan will decide that you are the right person for a task he has in mind, and will actively seek you out when you next visit the village.Īs it turns out, Tharstan is not only interested in Skaal traditions, but is equally interested in the many ancient ruins scattered all over Solstheim, claiming to know most of them well enough to draw a detailed map from memory. He also married the Skaal leader Fanari Strong-Voice and now lives in the largest building in town, the Greathall. Using what he learned of Skaal culture, Tharstan wrote Children of the All-Maker, and the next book is nearly finished. These welcoming and hospitable people let an elderly historian and author named Tharstan live in the village so he could study and document the ancient Skaal traditions. The small settlement of Skaal Village is inhabited by Nords living life the old way, with their own culture and religion, especially the worship of the All-Maker.
