Raven Rock is a frontier town, located on the southern coast of Solstheim and is the capital of the island. It was originally a mining settlement built by the East Empire Company in the late Third Era. By 4E 201 it is a far cry from its former days. Due to the mines drying up and due to the waters being polluted from the ash coming out of the Red Mountain, the town has become the one of beggars and the occasional sellswords with very few trading ships coming by to sell their supplies.
