Skyrim talk:The Black Arts On Trial

Location Details

For the book SSE of Hillgrund's Tomb:

On the north side of the river, look for the fallen tree crossing the ravine

On the NW side of the tree bridge, about 20 paces north of the tree-bridge root ball, is what looks like a large trees' trunk remnant (maybe from when the bridge-tree fell?)

The remnant is a hollow, shallow, round shell of bark and outer wood, taller than an average person, with the hollow facing away from the ravine

Inside the hollow there is a chest on the left, and a leveled bow leaning against the right side, with a leveled arrow leaning near the bows' base

(the arrow can be very difficult to see in the shadows - mousing around between the top-front chest corner and the bow should reveal its location)

The book is on the ground just in front of the left side of the chest

(In my various adventures, the bow/arrow was Orcish/Steel at Level 7, Dwarven/Orcish at level 13, and Elven/Orcish at level 20)

Note: don't forget the nearby bandits! - The first is a body near the root-ball end, ready to fall over the lip of the ravine - covering an Orcish dagger,

The 2nd is alive and hostile, about half way across the bridge (and on one occasion fell off while shooting at a spider on the other side, lol),

The last is a body at the bottom of the ravine, on a shallow beach slightly downstream on the far end of the tree-bridge
