Dragonstar West

Dragonstar is a small city located in the Druadach Highlands region, straddling the Skyrim-Hammerfell border. The city has been divided since the conclusion of the War of Bend'r Mahk some thirty years ago. Dragonstar East belongs to the Nordic Kingdom of the Reach and makes up its westernmost holdings. Dragonstar West, meanwhile, remains under the control of the Redguard Crowns, and makes up last remnant of Hammerfell's territoy within the Reach. Following the resolution of the Imperial Simulacrum, Imperial forces hastily erected a wall between the city's occupied areas to stop the fighting, a structure which stands to this day^{[verification needed — see talk page]}. Visitors to Dragonstar should be aware that travel across the Imperial-maintained dividing wall is heavily restricted. Additional precautions should be taken to ensure personal safety; politically-driven violence is common on both sides of the wall.

Dragonstar East

Jarl Jona, know as "the Ansei-Ender" for her conquests within the Reach, rules her holdings from Castle Dragonstar in the eastern city. Dragonstar East is also home to the city's arena and its Fighters Guild, though the latter has been defunct since the war. Only one establishment, the Shadowkey Tavern, offers rooms in the east, but travelers seeking only gossip and refreshments might seek out Ildgar's Alehouse as well. Much of Dragonstar East was heavily damaged during the war, and some areas have not been reconstructed.

Dragonstar West

The western half of the city, ruled by Prince Alak'tol since his narrow childhood escape from his former seat at Karthwasten, suffered less damage during the war. Dragonstar West is home to the city's Grand Bazaar, as well as its Mages Guild chapter. Travelers seeking accommodations have more options in the western city; both the Dragon Fountain Inn and Nukra-Tikil Tavern offer beds for rent.

People

Dragonstar West is ruled by Prince Alak'tol, who can be found in the Crown Palace. Dragonstar East is rules by Jarl Jona the Ansei-Ender from Castle Dragonstar.
