Karthwasten

Karthwasten is a small mining town in the Reach.

Ainethach is the owner of the whole town including the two surrounding mines. The mines at Karthwasten are two of the few mines in the Reach that are not owned by a Nord.

When you first enter Karthwasten, you will see the townsfolk squaring off against a group of mercenaries sent by the Silver-Blood family in Markarth to stop them from working Sanuarach Mine until Ainethach agrees to sell the land to them.

The town consists of three buildings in a semicircle: Karthwasten Hall, where Ainethach lives, Enmon's house, where Enmon lives with his wife Mena and daughter Fjotra, and the miner's barracks, where Belchimac, Lash gra-Dushnikh, and Ragnar live. There is a tanning rack in front of Karthwasten Hall and a grindstone on the deck in front of the miner's barracks.

Sanuarach Mine is the main silver mine. Its only entrance is north of Karthwasten Hall. In front of the entrance is a smelter and three pieces of silver ore in a cart opposite. The entrance to Fenn's Gulch Mine is at the northwestern end of town and has another smelter, two silver ingots, and a piece of silver ore to the left of the entrance.
