Whistling Mine is a mine located southeast of Winterhold in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Background[]
It is a small, depleted iron mine with only two ore veins. There is one guard that protects the miners and the mine itself. This guard is one of only four that protect the hold, and is the only one to have a Winterhold guard's shield. It is the only one like it in the game.
The mine's foreman, Thorgar, will purchase any iron ore from the Dragonborn for seven apiece. There are also a few miners who work for him; Gunding, Angvid and Badnir.
Notable items[]
- 2x Iron ore veins
- Heavy Armor Forging (Smithing) – can be found atop a barrel in the first room.
- Winterhold Guard's Shield – can be obtained by killing or pickpocketing the guard outside. It is the only shield of its kind in the game.
