“Hoelbrak has become the social center of the norn race. When the Elder Dragon Jormag drove norn ancestors out of the Far Shiverpeaks, the Spirits of the Wild — Bear, Raven, Wolf, and Snow Leopard — guided them to this area, and now great halls dedicated to those spirits dominate the settlement.
— In-game description
Located in the Shiverpeak Mountains in the Wayfarer Foothills, Hoelbrak is the largest of the norn settlements that were built after the servants of Jormag drove the norn from their homeland in the Far Shiverpeaks. Originally the hunting lodge built by Asgeir when he led his people south, a vast and sprawling encampment has grown around it, and Hoelbrak now serves as a main meeting place for the norn. In the center stands the fang Asgeir took from Jormag; young norn test their strength against the tooth, and it is said that the one to break it will signal the time for the norn to reclaim their lands.
The outpost is dominated by five gigantic structures: the Great Lodge, holding the fang of Jormag, and four lodges dedicated to the Spirits of the Wild: Wolf, Bear, Raven, and Snow Leopard. In these the norn seek wisdom and commune with the spirits.
The settlement is currently under the care of Knut Whitebear with a nearby encampment now forming a minor hub of activity for the norn and those wishing to meet them. As one of the safest places around, it is from here that hunts are organised, friends meet, and ale moots are held.
