Plus, for whatever reason,Dawnstar is among the number-one spots for dragon attacks in the game.

Dragons are a huge part of the Skyrim series, but not all dragons are created equal.

Which are the strongest in the game, and which are the weakest?

And, not far from the city, a haunted Dark Brotherhood hideout is waiting to be discovered.

They are home to all manner of dangerous creatures, from chaurus to spriggans to vampires.

And when it comes to vampires, these undead aren’t content to just prowl the city skirts.

It’s full of local and Imperial guards, andit’s the official headquarters for Imperial forces withinSkyrim.
