Mor Khazgur is an Orc stronghold in the far northwest of Skyrim, west of Solitude and north of Markarth.
The stronghold contains three zones: Larak's Longhouse, Mor Khazgur Cellar, and Mor Khazgur Mine.
The stronghold owns and operates an orichalcum mine containing seven ore veins. Notable NPCs found here include Chief Larak, a master trainer in the Block skill, and Borgakh the Steel Heart, a potential follower and potential Blade.
As with all Orc Strongholds, you must become Blood-Kin to the Orcs before you are welcome in the stronghold and able to barter or receive other services.

WalkthroughEdit
There is just a single entrance to the stronghold's compound near the northern edge of the surrounding palisade. There is a small vegetable patch immediately on your right upon entering, which contains eleven cabbages, eleven leeks and eight potato plants. On the left is a lookout tower, while in front is a tree stump that has a mora tapinella fungus growing from it. Behind the vegetables is an open-sided hut, beneath which is an unlocked chest and a rack hanging from the ceiling holding a garlic braid and pheasant.
The path leads past the longhouse, passing a wooden table and chair on the right where Chief Larak is generally found sitting. Beside this is a rack holding three whole salmon. On the other side of the entrance to the longhouse is a practice dummy where Borgakh the Steel Heart is normally found training her skill-at-arms. Opposite the longhouse entrance is a second open-sided hut with an alchemy lab beside it and a set of shelves under it. These hold an apothecary's satchel, two random potions of stamina, a sample of fly amanita and a sample of white cap fungi, two purple and a red mountain flower.
Continuing past the longhouse there is a covered stack of food barrels on the right with a trapdoor leading to Mor Khazgur Cellar beside them. On the left is a second lookout tower, while ahead is a covered blacksmithing area consisting of a forge and grindstone, with a set of shelves at the rear holding a random enchanted Orcish battleaxe, a copy of the Smithing skill book The Armorer's Challenge, three owned orichalcum ingots, a steel sword, an enchanted Orcish sword and an Orcish helmet and shield.
The path continues up and around, passing a second tree stump with mora tapinella fungus growing on it. Further up it passes between another lookout tower and a smelter to the top where Mor Khazgur Mine is located. On the right of the entrance are some more food barrels and three non-respawning orichalcum ingots.

NotesEdit
- In the DialogueViews files for the game, there exists a line (likely meant for the gate guard) that was meant to quickly establish the stronghold: "This is Mor Khazgur and we live under chief Larak. The rest is our business."
- You can gain access by climbing the mountain and coming back down over the stronghold, but you will still be challenged as you approach the gate, and offered a quest opportunity.
- Mor Khazgur also appears in ESO as a mine and an instanced Battleground.
