Dovakarn
The Dovakarn shield: a dragon carved into wood and steel, ringed with runes

A persistent Skyrim multiplayer world

Your name.
Your legacy.

Walk the province beside strangers and rivals, carve your name into it, and the world remembers you were there, long after you sheathe your blade.

Reaching the server…

Windows 10 or 11 · needs your own Steam copy of Skyrim Special Edition

One Skyrim. Everyone in it.

Dovakarn runs a single, always-on Skyrim that every player shares. It is not co-op sessions that vanish when the host logs off. The world keeps running, and your place in it is saved on the server, not on your PC.

A character that is yours

Your character belongs to your Discord account. The face you sculpt, the name you choose, the gear you carry: all of it lives on the server and follows you to any PC you log in from.

Room for a real world

The server holds up to 600 players in the same Skyrim. Meet strangers on the road, hold the same town, or disappear into the wilds. Everything you do happens in front of everyone else.

A living, staffed world

Staff shape the world from inside the game and out: placed forges and camps that survive restarts, tuned creatures, events run for the players who show up.

A launcher that keeps you current

The Dovakarn launcher checks your game files against the server before every launch and updates whatever changed. When the world updates, you cannot be left behind, and it updates itself the same way.

One curated mod collection

The server runs a hand-picked Nexus collection, installed in one go with Vortex. The launcher verifies every file, so everyone plays the same game.

Accounts, not registrations

There is no password to invent. Your Discord account is your Dovakarn account. Join the Discord, log in from the launcher, and you exist.

How to join

  1. Join the Dovakarn Discord

    Players need to be in the Dovakarn Discord. It is where the world's news, events and staff live, and it is your login.

  2. Download the launcher

    Get the Dovakarn launcher and run it. It walks you through pointing at your Skyrim folder and installing the mod collection.

  3. Log in and play

    Log in with Discord in the launcher and press Play. Your character menu appears inside Skyrim: create your character, sculpt a face, and step into the world.

You will need: Windows 10 or 11, a Steam copy of Skyrim Special Edition on the exact build the server runs (the launcher checks and tells you), and a Discord account. Dovakarn itself is free.

Dovakarn is young and actively built. Expect the world to grow, sometimes under your feet.
