Rorikstead is a small, quiet farming community situated in the western tundra of Whiterun Hold along the road to the Reach. Travelers passing through can stop at the local inn for food, shelter, and rumors, or take on minor tasks for the town's residents. It also serves as the final location for the daedric quest "A Night to Remember" when retracing your drunken steps.
