Yorgrim Forest in Giants' Gap ca. 4E 201
Giants' Gap is a region in the central area of The Pale, in the province of Skyrim. It makes up the open area south of the Dawnstar and the Northern Coast, and is surrounded on many sides by the Pale Mountains.[1] The Yorgrim Forest is found in the southeastern part of the Gap.[1] The Gap blends into the White River Valley of Whiterun.
Volunruud and Heljarchen are found close to it.[2][3]
History[edit]
A battle of the Civil War in the 4th Era was fought here; it started as an Imperial ambush on an unsuspecting group of Stormcloaks, and the Stormcloaks were able to form a shield-wall and hold off the Imperial attack for hours.[4]
