Dragon Bridge

Dragon Bridge (Nordic: Drakabryg) is a fortified lumber town located along the Karth River in the region of Haafingar, within the province of Skyrim. It lies to the south of Solitude.

Dragon Bridge acquires its name from the local structure, an ancient and ornate stone bridge with a dragon figurehead which connects the town to the other side of the river and to the main road through Hjaalmarch. Some scholars believe the two dragon skulls on the bridge are actually petrified skulls of dragons due to the difference in stonework detail between the bridge's stone and the skulls, however, other scholars deride this as "poetic nonsense". Dragon Bridge is symbolic for the Nords but it also acts as a crossroads for the northern region, with it being the first line of defense for Solitude and the neighboring holds.

A series of caves beneath the hills surrounding Dragon Bridge are often used for a variety of clandestine activities. Local smugglers use the caves to hide and move black-market goods outside the notice of the Dragon Bridge garrison.
