An underground passage runs through Falkreath’s frigid eastern mountains. This site, located north of Orphan Rock [8.35], marks the passage’s north entrance, which is surrounded by ruins.

Exterior

Dispatch the bandits within the ruins, then open the wooden door behind them to exit onto the northern balcony. Take a moment to admire the view; if the weather is just right, you can even see the ocean in the distance. The pedestal here is the second of three you need for the College of Winterhold Radiant Quest: Destruction Ritual Spell.

Loot a chest to the left and swipe a Skill Book off the nearby shelf before descending some steps to locate the door that serves as the pass’s northern entrance.

Skybound Watch Pass (Interior)

No matter which way you enter the pass, it’s a straight sprint to the other end. Slaughter several bandits and a Giant Frostbite Spider as you navigate this relatively short passage, and beware the trapped chest at the tunnel’s south end; disarm it or open it carefully to avoid the dart trap. Find another chest near the north campfire, along with a potion and Skill Book.
