Kynesgrove, a simplification of the original Kyne's Grove, is a small village south of Windhelm. The village survives off a Malachite mine and some farming. Although there are an abundant amount of trees in the area, they are considered sacred to Kyne and are not allowed to be harmed. The dragon Sahloknir, who was slain in the First Era by the Nordic hero Jorg Helmbolg, was interred in a dragon mound near the village. During the Stormcloak Rebellion, the Last Dragonborn purportedly came to Kynesgrove and slew Sahloknir within minutes of the wyrm's resurrection by Alduin.
