This article is about the faction. For the final boss fight in Icereach, see Icereach Coven (Boss).

The Icereach Coven are a group of Reachman witches who are based in the island fortress on Icereach, led by Mother Ciannait. During the rule of the Longhouse Emperor Leovic, they served as his advisors until they were driven out of Cyrodiil during Varen's Rebellion, along with the rest of the Reachmen. They were further chased out of Skyrim, forcing them to return to their island home.

In recent times, they drew attention to themselves with the unnatural storms brewing on the Sea of Ghosts. The Nord forces sent to investigate quickly found that the Coven had regained strength and the patronage of an unknown benefactor.

The Icereach Coven is also heavily involved in the ongoing troubles in Western Skyrim, where it is eventually revealed that they are working towards the resurgence of the Gray Host, with the hope that their efforts will be rewarded by the ancient order wiping out the Nords and giving the land back to The Reach. They are also the ones responsible for creating the devastating Harrowstorms all over Western Skyrim, The Reach and Blackreach.
