Hjaalmarch, or Hjaalmarch Hold,[1] is a lowland coastal hold in Skyrim.[2] Roughly half the hold is a foul-smelling marsh, south of which is the capital and only settlement Morthal (although some farms dot the tundra).[2] The region is veined with waterways that empty into the Sea of Ghosts, and the southern and eastern mountains near its borders further isolate the area.[3]
Hjaalmarch is home to the "Karth delta",[4] also called the "Mouths of the Karth,[5] where the mighty Karth River and the smaller River Hjaal empty into the Sea of Ghosts through a variety of intricate channels. The Deathbell flower is known to be abundant throughout the swamps.[6] Many ruins dot the hold, including the legendary Labyrinthian.[7][8] Combined with the fog that surrounds the marshes and the creatures that stalk the land (Wispmothers purportedly originated here), Hjaalmarch is considered one of the more mysterious holds in Skyrim.[7][9]
