Swallowed Skeleton: Greymoor Foothills

Puzzling Pillar Ruins

• POITundra14

Southeast of Sleeping Tree Camp are some ancient Nordic ruins which are all that remains of an incomplete location referred to in the Creation Kit as "Barleydark Farm". These ruins consist of some monumental stones and rotatable pillars displaying snake, whale and eagle images. After rotating to the correct symbols (the monumental stones will help you solve the puzzle), activating the switch at the center of the ruin will open a nearby grate. At the bottom of a small spiral staircase is a skeleton lying next to a chest which contains a leveled armor piece and a copy of the Destruction skill book A Hypothetical Treachery. (map)

Necromancer's Bluff

• PoiTundra11

Located on a small hill east of Sleeping Tree Camp are some ancient Nordic ruins with an altar in the center. Lying on this altar is a deceased conjurer, some alchemy ingredients, and a copy of the Conjuration skill book Liminal Bridges. Two hostile skeletons and a bone wolf inhabit these ruins, while a unique third skeleton wearing a Black Mage Hood stands by three mysterious graves nearby. (map)

The Lady of the Lake

• PoiTundra05

Southeast of Silent Moons Camp and northeast of Bleakwind Basin, protruding from a small pool, is a skeletal arm clutching a leveled sword. This is a reference to The Lady of the Lake from Arthurian folklore. (map)

Smuggler's Den: Whiterun

Big Log Bridge

South of Hillgrund's Tomb is a large fallen tree bridging a tributary of the White River that runs between two sheer cliffs. Standing guard on this log is a bandit, who will only attack if you get too close. The corpse of another bandit lies on a small beach below the bridge, with a dagger, amulet, and coin purse lying next to it. The body of a third bandit can be found on the northern cliff, next to the remains of a tree which conceals a locked chest and a copy of the Illusion skill book The Black Arts On Trial. (map)

Ruined Toll and Wispmother's Well

• POIFallForest25

Northeast of Pinepeak Cavern, across the river and up a steep winding path, a small abandoned well can be found. Upon approaching it for the first time, a wispmother will rise up out of the well and attack you, along with her three attendant wisps. A nearby broken section of wall hides a basket with a copy of the Conjuration skill book The Warrior's Charge resting atop it. Hidden underneath the basket is a locked strongbox. (map)
