The Stalhrim Battleaxe comes from the Dragonborn add-on and is made of
Stalhrim, the enchanted ice of Solstheim. It deals 24 base damage, weighs 25 and is worth 2,150 gold, placing it among the strongest two-handed axes in the game.
Its frosty blue look is unique, and it is a natural partner for Stalhrim Armor and any build focused on frost.

- Frost Damage enchantments are 25% stronger on stalhrim items, just like the Frost Enchanter or Augmented Frost perks.
- Temper with Stalhrim.
