It is the seat of the Jarl of Tromsa; Olgaf Anagarsson was an experienced warrior known for his wildness who was killed by Imperial troops during the invasion. He was succeeded by his daughter, renowned engineer Igya Olgafsdottir.
Points of Interest
Lake Karnakadatha
A massive body of water similar to those found in Sermersuaq that lies on the border between the Skyfall Wastes and Tsirku. The waters here are significantly warmer than those in the rest of the region, and numerous small settlements dot its shores. The main industry here is fishing, but that is not the reason that the Jotun maintains several watchtowers and a force of warriors here. The lake was apparently formed long ages past when the Northern Lights apparently caused a fragment of star to fall and destroy the castle of a prideful Jarl. Star metal is commonly pulled from the depths of the lake, or found in the bellies of fish. Some of those fish are apparently very odd indeed. Both strange fish and star metal are sent south, to be used by the Jotun smiths, and are apparently the main reason Skyfall is settled at all. ===Lake Karnakadatha, a massive body of water similar to those found in Sermersuaq that lies on the border between the Skyfall Wastes and Tsirku.

Viheltavathorn (Ruins)
A fortification built in Rikskog, destroyed by Imperial forces during the invasion of 385YE. Jarl Olgaf Anagarsson fell here, defending the castle along with Jarl Klarra Sembansscion of Rikskog.
Oksenesfestsal
The mountains of Tromsdalen are part of the same range as Eyrarfell, and on their eastern edge stands the Oksenesfestsal, a commanding fortification that also serve as the seat of the Jarl of Tromsas. The castle is massive – a match for the Castle of Thorns in Astolat – although there are signs that it has been expanded to its current size only within the last few years. There are also signs that the structure is reinforced with adamant – the same almost indestructible stone of the Summer realm used in the construction of the Adamant Gate in Semmerholm, or the Court of the White Fountain in Redoubt. Three high towers surmount a massive curtain wall; the highest fashioned after the horned head of a massive aurochs. Serpentine dragons coil around the other two towers, giving a strong indication that this fort has been constructed in part at least with the aid of the Stone King.
Oksenesfestsal has the unbreakable quality; this means that it cannot be brought below 1,000 strength by mortal means. It can be captured, but not destroyed.
