Notes

• As you approach the door to Highmoon Hall for the first time, you may overhear a conversation between some of the residents of Morthal and Aslfur, one of the Jarl's advisors. The locals are concerned about ongoing trouble; further conversations will indicate some specific complaints: a house was lost in a fire, noises are heard from the surrounding swamp at night, and the presence of a mage in town—on top of the apparent hands-off approach of the Jarl.

Bugs

• You may not be able to wait or sleep inside the hall at night, and if you try, you will receive notifications that you cannot do so when being told to leave, even though the hall is marked in the game files as a public area and nobody is telling you to leave. This may happen regardless of your disposition with the inhabitants.
• If the Stormcloaks take over Hjaalmarch, Pactur is supposed to move with Sorli and act as steward judging from his dialogue and faction. However, due to an oversight, she will only bring Teeba-Ei to Morthal, while Pactur stays in Stonehills. This is fixed by the Hearthfire add-on.
  • PC Only This bug is fixed by version 1.3.2 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch.
