Laintar Dale during the Imperial Simulacrum

Laintar Dale is a historical settlement within the province of Skyrim. In the Merethic Era it was the site of a Snow Elf city called Laidal, which remains buried beneath the modern settlement.

During the Imperial Simulacrum in the late Third Era, the village of Laintar Dale was an active settlement, being ruled by Lord Mojan. It had a rivalry with Helarchen Creek. It was neighbored by several settlements, including Dunpar Wall to the west, Helarchen Creek to the northwest, Amol to the northeast, Whiterun to the southwest, Dragon Wood to the east, and Pargran Village to the southeast. As of then it also had road connections to Whiterun, Windhelm, and Amol.

Notes

  Certain scholars claim that Laidal (or Laidal'dal in later renditions), an ancient Snow Elf settlement where Wulfric, the youngest son of Ysgramor, married a Snow Elf named Eormi, corresponds to the ruins beneath Laintar Dale. A speculative notion suggests a potential connection to issues with the Laintar Dale sewers. However, this hypothesis lacks substantiating evidence and relies on dubious etymologies.
