This is something like my interpretation of a coast in Skyrim.

I was actually influenced by the feeling I have when I climb the highest mountains in the land. Trying to run up all these rocks, many times not getting any step further, just running into a border that can't be crossed - it makes these mountains seem like they are as vertical and slick as no being could ever climb them.

Another aspect is the rough climate. Whereas there can be beautiful nights with northern lights and the bright sun shining down on Whiterun or the forests around Riften, there will quite likely be heavy snow storms in areas like Winterhold or Dawnstar. Though even these have some beauty, I think. Nevertheless, I wouldn't want to get into such a storm in real life. :-/

Anyway, the title is dragon language and means "Into The Eternal Cold" That's my personal attempt to translate. So please don't be as rough as Skyrim's average weather. :3
