Dawnstar

Dawnstar is a small fishing and mining settlement on the northern coast of Skyrim, and the capital of the Pale.

It is initially controlled by the Stormcloaks.

The residents will report having horrible nightmares, which some initially blame on a witch's curse. It is frequently attacked by dragons.

For historical information about Dawnstar, see the lore article.
