harthout

Harthout is a fictional material featured in the video game "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim." It is a type of wood that is prized for its strength and durability, making it a valuable component in crafting weapons and armor. Harthout can be harvested from harts, which are large, stag-like creatures found throughout the game's world. When a hart is defeated, its hide and antlers can be collected, and sometimes, if the player has the right perks, a portion of its wood can be salvaged.

The wood obtained from harts is known for its reddish-brown hue and its unique grain patterns. In the game's crafting system, Harthout is used to improve the quality of existing weapons and armor or to create entirely new items. It is often associated with the beast races of Skyrim, such as the Khajiit and Argonians, who are said to have traditional methods of incorporating hart wood into their hunting gear. While not as common as other crafting materials like iron or leather, Harthout offers a distinct advantage in terms of damage resistance and offensive power for those who can acquire it. Its rarity and the challenging nature of hunting harts contribute to its status as a sought-after resource for skilled artisans and warriors.
