About this mod
Restores the cut village of Heljarchen around the Nightgate Inn
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
~ Introduction ~
The village of Heljarchen was also meant to appear in the Pale, and a small sliver of it still does. The Nightgate Inn appears as a standalone location in the final game, but it was once just the inn of the local village. Its name comes from the first Elder Scrolls game: Arena. In Arena, the location appeared as “Helarchen Creek”. The majority of Skyrim’s settlements were based on, or at least named after, their appearance in this first game.
This mod restores, to the best of my ability; the cut npcs and buildings around the Inn that were meant to constitute the village of Heljarchen. It now boasts an Alchemist, a Blacksmith and two additional farmhouses.
As there was relatively few details left besides the names of some npcs and clues as to their professions, I've tried to stay faithful to the vanilla spirit and layout of Skyrim's villages. Heljarchen is a small village located along the road to the North of the Yorgrim river, with the Pale itself being largely unsuitable for agriculture, Heljarchen survives off of fishing, hunting and some livestock, as well as the traders and travelers that stop when travelling between Windhelm and Dawnstar.
~ Features ~
— Restored village of Heljarchen around the Nightgate Inn
— Guards that will change based on the progress of the civil war
— An enlarged fishing pond that now flows down into the Yorgrim river
— A blacksmith and Alchemist
— Vanilla layout of the Nightgate Inn site is preserved with minimal landscape edits
— Fully navmeshed
~ Requirement (if using older version of Skyrim) ~
This mod was created with the most up to date game version and creation kit. Therefore, if you’re on an older version of Skyrim, v1.6.4, you’ll need to use the mod B.E.E.S. to run this mod properly. Grab it here -

~Recommendations~
These screenshots were taken using the great Northern Unique Vanilla Farmhouses - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/92491
Mods that also alter the area around the Nightgate inn will most likely need a patch.
Planned compatibility for the future:
—Northern Roads
—Cutting Room Floor
