Only the Dremora Overkyn who supervise the Black Forge know the secrets of smithing the ebony-alloy cold-iron of which the great chains and Dark Anchors are made. The work here is difficult and dangerous, and most Soul Shriven thralls last only a few shifts.

The Black Forge

The Black Forge is a Daedric ruin in eastern Coldharbour. Vanus Galerion is attempting to halt the Black Forge's production cycle. He has left a projection outside the forge to inform members of the Coldharbour invasion force of his whereabouts.

Blacksmith Survey: Coldharbour I leads to a location north of the Black Forge. Blacksmith Survey: Coldharbour II leads to a spot to the right of the stairs outside the Black Forge.
