It's easy to see the influence of Norse mythology everywhere in Skyrim, with the fantasy game's characters, customs, and environments all to some extent reflecting this inspiration. Now, a modder has introduced an even more direct tie to Norse mythology to the RPG in the form of the great tree Yggdrasil - and it's a really gorgeous thing.
Modder FrostyDudess17 describes their mod as a "small place of interest featuring Yggdrasil the World Tree and a few other goodies", but from the images it looks like it'll add much more to Tamriel's frostiest region than this humble description suggests. It's a pretty stunning location - a shrine to the goddess Kyne, the Mother of Nords (of course), unless you're a dastardly Imperial, in which case she's known as Kynareth, and it looms high in the sky to the southwest of Morthal.
Like the mythological world tree it's based on, it's a huge, gnarly tree nestled in the heart of the tundra that reaches into the sky. The Skyrim version, however, comes with some neat perks, like a Voice of the Sky blessing as well as a new sword, shield, and amulet to take with you.
