Hjerim

Hjerim is a residence in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It is a private dwelling located in Windhelm, the capital of Eastmarch Hold in the province of Skyrim. It is one of the player homes available in the base game, offering Windhelm as a base of operations for the Dragonborn.

The house is situated in the Palace District near the city market and features Nordic architectural styling consistent with Windhelm. It is a sizable two-story building with a courtyard and a cellar. The interior includes a living area, a kitchen, a dining room, a master bedroom, and additional rooms suitable for storage. As a player home, Hjerim provides display space for weapons and armor via mannequins and display cases, along with chests and containers for inventory management. The residence can be furnished and customized using the game’s housing system.

In-game lore notes describe Hjerim as having belonged to Windhelm’s nobility before the Dragonborn claimed it as a residence. It functions as a convenient home base in Windhelm, particularly for players who prefer the eastern part of Skyrim.

Notable appearances and use: Hjerim appears in Windhelm-related dialogue and quest content, and it serves as a location where players can rest, store items, and organize gear between adventures. The home is valued for its size and storage potential compared with other Windhelm properties.
