Two inns provide bed and board for the weary traveler, at the opposite ends of the social spectrum. In the northern part of town, near the guildhalls, is Northern Arms, a blacksmith shop run by Hulgard and his apprentice Eddvia Jucani. In the shadow of the cathedral, by the southern wall is Fadel's butcher shop A Cut Above, while near the eastern gate is Ice-Wind Traders, a general goods shop run by Cedus Perusius. The Bruma market in the southern district is made up of stalls run by a few of the local denizens: Gryfard Peton, an insecure Breton jeweler Ananril, a Bosmer apothecary whom you can assist in collecting ingredients for, and Rilja Stone-Hearth, a Nord buyer and seller of Nordic artifacts who will task you with expanding her collection. The Fighters Guild and the Synod maintain a guildhall and conclave respectively in the central district of the city.
Martin dominates the skyline and the central part of the city, while Count Desilus Carvain resides in the large castle in the western district. The city lies near the border between Skyrim and Cyrodiil, and this is reflected in its mainly Nord population, as well as in its architecture and climate, which is relatively cold and snowy. Bruma is the capital city of County Bruma, located in the center of the county.
