Here are forest plants like mora tapinella and thistle more common than on the tundra. Another location of interest is Riverwood, where the pine forest stretching up from Falkreath Hold takes by. At night the butterflies are replaced by torchbugs and luna moths. The tundra is rich in lavender, tundra cotton and butterflies. The White River, flowing down from Lake Ilinalta, is home to a large population of salmon.
The tundra is home to all manner of animals and creatures, from the large- giants and mammoths-to the small- foxes and goats. Whiterun Hold is mostly covered in tundra and bordered by two major rivers-the White River to the south, and the River Hjaal to the north-which makes the land fertile and well suited to farming. The hold borders six of the other eight holds in Skyrim, all but Winterhold and Haafingar.
