Winterhold is a city located on Skyrim's Northeastern coast. It is home to the College of Winterhold, the mages guild of Skyrim.

In times past Winterhold was a major port and trade hub for the province, but years ago the majority of the city sank into the sea in a mysterious cataclysm. Today, Winterhold is a shadow of its former self. Its dwindling residents speak of rumors that the College's mages somehow caused Winterhold's destruction, but the College vehemently denies such accusations. The town of Winterhold was once proud of housing the College, but now they have grown to fear the mages and their power. Winterhold was also the capital city of all of Skyrim, but is no longer holding that honor.
