Since Hakkvild drove out the Orcs in 2E 467 Falkreath has been back in the hands of the Nords. But now the weakened hold is menaced by another threat: the savage Reachmen of the Dreadhorn clan.

Hard Mode

The Warhorn

Hard Mode is only available in the Veteran version of Falkreath Hold. When you get to the final boss fight against Domihaus, you have the option to activate a Warhorn to the right of the door after you enter the Jarl's Hall. Activating the Warhorn will destroy two of the wooden pillars prior to the fight beginning and will make the boss fight more difficult. If your group dies, the horn will need to be sounded again to reenable Hard Mode.

Notes

• Some locations from Skyrim re-appear, such as the Falkreath Watchtower and South Shriekwind Bastion, as they are seen in the distance but cannot be traveled to.
• The town of Falkreath also makes an appearance as a settlement in Falkreath Hold.
• Hakkvild's High Hall has a view of the city.
• Dialogue with Denskar Earth-Turner reveals that as a boy he resided here.
• Falkreath Hold was seen on a pre-beta map of the game as a planned full-sized zone, extending across the northern edge of Cyrodiil all the way from Craglorn to The Rift, much as it was seen in Skyrim.
