Interior

Exit to Skyrim

This is the entrance and exit to this area.

Spriggan Rockery

A narrow and plant-filled entrance greets you. If the quest for this area, Unseen Visions, isn’t active, expect some sizable Spriggans to attempt to halt your progress. Cross the fallen tree trunk to head deeper toward the glade.

Glade Henge and Moth Priest Pedestal

There is a winding pathway throughout this glade to follow. Fluttering throughout are Ancestor Moths (which are harmless and not attracted to you unless the quest is active). Dotted about are Canticle Trees (with pink blossom) and special bark to remove if you have the Draw Knife (available from the pedestal only during the quest). The henges and pedestal serve an important role in the quest, as you read the Elder Scrolls here. Beware of your rivals; on your way out (during the quest only), there’s a contingent of foes to face.

  • Canticle Bark (quest only)
  • Draw Knife (quest only)

Ancestral Offering

A leveled weapon is perched on the rocks here.

  • Loose gear

Ancestral Offering

A leveled item and a gem are left on a carefully placed pile of rocks on the perimeter wall.

Perched between the Shriekwind Hills is this bright and sunny woodland glade. With ample clay and stone deposits, a good amount of iron ore to mine, and a bounty of woodland animals to kill and skin, this place is a huntsman’s paradise! Overlooking Lake Ilinalta, and only a short romp from both Falkreath and Riverwood, this is a prime spot to make yourself at home. Note this picture is but an example of the type of property you could build here. This is the only buildable dwelling with an apiary.
