But, many Nedic tribes, especially in Cyrodiil and Hammerfell, were enslaved by the Ayleids. The Men-of-'Kreath evidently spoke a Colovian dialect unique from the other tribes, believed to contain some Aldmeris words. This is likely, as Falkreath has been historically considered a part of Colovia, not Skyrim. Thus, they were most likely a North Colovian tribe living in the area of modern Falkreath. While part of the Colovian conglomerate, the Men-of-'Kreath were an independent tribe on their own it is also possible that the Colovians too were a group of separate tribes who later found the kingdoms of Chorrol, Skingrad, Kvatch and Anvil, before the unification of Cyrodiil.

As told by the residents, Falkreath was the place of many battles in the past, being the main reason for the large graveyard.Įarly Nords, called Men-of-'Kreath, were a tribe mentioned in The Adabal-a that migrated from Atmora to Skyrim, as the Nedes moved to the ice island from Tamriel. Since they were constantly living alongside the dead, the people of Falkreath gave many of their shops and other buildings names related to death. The graveyard of Falkreath contains many famous Nords who requested to be buried in Falkreath, next to the other honored dead of past battles. The Hammerfell border can be accessed by road a short walk west of the city. The town is far more similar to a small farming village rather than a major city. It is one of the smaller major cities, with no real walls surrounding it and not many buildings. Like many of Skyrim's woodland settlements, Falkreath's economy is heavily reliant on the production of lumber. The city lies in a valley near the center of Falkreath Hold, in the low-lying forest area some distance west of Helgen.
