Exterior

The blacksmiths are found within the grounds of Castle Dour, just outside the walls. It is found at the top of a ramp leading up from the market area. From the top of the ramp turn to the right. On the end of the wall separating the ramp from the blacksmiths is a shadowmark Loot. To the right of the entrance is a cart containing several cabbages and potatoes, and a gourd. Further along is the forge where Beirand can usually be found working. At the rear, against the wall is a wooden table with several items of Beirand's stock that will disappear when purchased. In addition to the forge there is a grindstone, tanning rack and workbench as well as several barrels of food all around the forge area.

Bugs

• The Blacksmith sign when ran and jumped into may make you suddenly end up in a large body of water with nothing around you. When checked on the map it tilts the map upwards as if you were in the sky. Has also occurred on Playstation 3 and can be fast traveled away from.
• Heimvar is officially the backup blacksmith for Solitude Blacksmith. However, Heimvar is not set up properly, meaning that if Beirand dies there is no longer anyone who will provide blacksmith merchant services in Solitude.
  • The Unofficial Skyrim Patch, version 1.2, fixes this bug.
