Walkthrough

Exterior

The cave, which is beneath the Ritual Stone overlooking the White River, is easily reachable from the nearby road. Along the west side of the Ritual Stone's rock foundation is a dirt path which leads directly to the cave.

Graywinter Watch

There are two trolls in the cave; one is visible from the tunnel, and the other is hidden near the campfire. Six blisterwort, three white cap, and four bleeding crown fungi grow throughout the cave. To the right of the entrance is a ramp to the higher part of the cave.

At the top of the ramp is a row of nine skulls. There is a small campsite here, with a central campfire and the corpses of a female Nord bandit and a male Nord bandit. There are two bed rolls on one side of the fire, and a tent on the other. To the right of the tent is a copy of the Archery skill book Vernaccus and Bourlor, three steel arrows, a pile or quiver of random arrows, and the respawning Froki's bow atop a food barrel. Lastly, by the bed rolls is a knapsack.

Notes

• There are fifteen humanoid skulls in the cave, though only twelve can be lifted.
• Two corundum ore veins are north of the cave, across the river next to a rocky outcropping and a tree.
