Walkthrough
Exterior
There are eight spiky grass plants producing ashen grass pods, a nirnroot plant, and three pearl oysters on the shore around the entrance. There is also a small coin purse to the right of the entrance next to a crate. Just south of the entrance are two dead reavers on the shore, among the remains of a camp with a boat, a gold ore vein, and a few riekling spears scattered about.

Frossel
Frossel begins as an ice tunnel descending to the east. On the left side of the tunnel as you descend is a crate with a deer pelt and a rock warbler egg on top. Near the bottom is an ice pillar in the middle of the tunnel, with a leather strip on a crate beside it. When the tunnel turns to the south, look to the corner for a barrel with a piece of iron ore on top. There are many cups, goblets, plates, jugs, and other crockery and clutter throughout the cave.

right|thumb|Riekling campThe tunnel opens into a chamber with four rieklings and two bristlebacks. A small fenced ledge in front of you holds a piece of refined moonstone and a deer pelt. The path down is to the left. On the left as you reach the cavern floor are two barrels; one is a fish barrel, and each has a sample of hawk feathers on top. Beneath the ledge via which you entered the chamber, among some riekling tents, crates, sacks, and barrels, there is a leg of goat, a pair of fine boots, a gourd, two chicken breasts, a set of small antlers, a pair of iron gauntlets, four iron ingots (see bugs), three samples of fly amanita, a riekling hut, and two barrels containing ingredients.

To the right of the riekling hut is an unlocked strongbox, a sample of wheat, a thistle branch, a drum, an empty common soul gem, and a piece of moonstone ore all on what appears to be an archery target laid on a rock, with a piece of firewood on the ground in front. The chamber continues to the east. To the left of a bristleback pen is an ice pillar, with two unusable barrels beside it. On these barrels is a bottle of wine and a plate with a rare beehive husk on top. To the right of the pen is another tent with a deer pelt, two iron ingots, a bulb of garlic (see bugs), and a leek.

A tunnel exits to the east. Along the tunnel are five bottles of wine, including one inside a bucket. On the right just before a corner is another unlocked strongbox on a rock. Farther along are more crates and barrels; among these, you will find a drum, a piece of firewood, three pieces of charcoal, a pickaxe, and a silver ingot.

left|thumb|Claw trapA tripwire at the bottom of the tunnel triggers a hinged claw trap. To the left is an unlocked chest flanked by two riekling barrels, which will burst open to reveal two rieklings. A set of small antlers and a cup will get scattered when the barrels burst. Behind the chest is a fish barrel, and to the right, a knapsack lies on top of another, empty chest. In the easternmost section of this chamber is a tent, with another riekling ready to ambush you from beneath the snow in front of the tent. Inside the tent, among unusable barrels and crates is a large coin purse and a leveled potion. To the right of the tent, on a crate is a quicksilver ore and a chicken's egg in a wooden bowl. To the right on another crate is a random  spell tome, and on the ground is an expert-locked East Empire Company strongbox.

Opposite the two riekling barrels to the south is an empty chest to the left of a gold ore vein. To the right of the vein is a tent with crates and an unusable barrel inside. On the barrel is a rabbit that can be harvested, and on a crate is an iron dagger and three loose septims. Opposite the tripwire to the south is a riekling hut, with a barrel containing ingredients beside it. The tunnel continues to the west, past an empty chest. After another riekling barrel ambush next to a barrel of meat, the tunnel turns to the south. There are two rieklings in the small, narrow chamber ahead. A large coin purse is on a rock to the right. In a short alcove on the left, there's a riekling barrel in front of an unlocked chest. The unique Imperial war horn is found here, along with a red apple, a random shield, and seven loose septims.

left|thumb|Strange sculptureright|thumb|WorshippersAt the next corner, there is a woodcutter's axe on the ground (see bugs) and a pair of random gauntlets in an open crate. Farther along are two bowls on a crate next to a food barrel; one bowl holds four small pearls, and the other holds a Nordic barnacle and a pearl. On top of the barrel is a sample of slaughterfish scales, as well as two slaughterfish eggs in another bowl. The tunnel then opens to the main chamber of the cave.

In the main chamber is a curious sight: a group of seven rieklings worshipping a strange idol. A mounted riekling observes from the side. Following the ledge along the eastern wall to the right, you will come upon a riekling hut and a sample of wheat in an adjacent tent. To the left at the entrance is a ramp down to the cavern floor. Any sounds of fighting may draw two more rieklings from a passage beyond. Under the ledge in the northwest section of the chamber is a boss chest near many crates, barrels, and sacks, among which are a total of sixteen loose septims, five silver ingots, two garnets, a silver garnet ring, two silver rings, four small coin purses, three silver necklaces, a gold ring, two gold necklaces, a corundum ingot, a pair of fine boots, a pair of fine shoes, two sets of fine clothes, two fish barrels, a random enchanted weapon, a fine hat, a candlestick, two empty, open chests, a gold ingot, a Dibella statue, and four barrels containing ingredients.

To the southeast, past a tent that contains nothing of interest, is an open pen with a mead barrel in the corner against the ledge, with three bottles of ale, a woodcutter's axe, a random shield, and a ruby lying on the ground near it. To the southwest, between the pen and a gold ore vein and on top of some barrels, there is a broken cart holding five pieces of firewood, a gourd, and a cabbage. Northwest of the cart is a ramp leading up to the ledge with the strange idol on top, and to the left of the ramp is another cart containing three pieces of iron ore and a leather strip. To the right of the gold ore vein is a pickaxe on a barrel, and farther to the right is a tent containing clutter. Continuing along the wall to the right, there is a barrel with a gourd and two raw rabbit legs on top, and farther along another stack of crates with several sacks and more clutter among them.right|thumb|Treasure

To the left of where the rieklings are worshipping is a flat-topped rock with several crates and barrels around it. There is a deer pelt, an empty soul gem, and a leather strip here, while on top of the rock is a lute in a basket. In the western corner of the main chamber, near the top of the ramp leading up to the strange idol, there is a steel ingot on a barrel.

An icy tunnel exits the main chamber from the ledge to the north. A short way up the tunnel is a chicken's egg in a wooden bowl on the ground, with a fish barrel and a crate on your left, followed by a gold ore vein on the west wall. The path ascends to a switchback, then up to a second switchback, where a wooden block holds an iron dagger, a bulb of garlic, two samples of slaughterfish scales, and a slaughterfish egg. On the west wall here is another gold ore vein. Continuing up the path, you will pass some barrels and crates with a snow fox pelt and a cabbage on top, plus three random potions in an open box. The path continues to the top, where there is a bowl containing a leek, with a piece of corundum ore and a couple cheese wheels beside it. There is an ice tunnel heading to the southeast, with a bowl on the ground containing a red apple, and farther along another goat cheese wheel and a cast iron pot with a pine thrush egg inside. The tunnel ends at a ledge above the first chamber near the exit. To the left on the ledge before you drop down is a drum and a deer pelt.

Notes
This location also appeared in the Bloodmoon expansion for Morrowind.
Under the ramp leading up to the alcove overlooking the first chamber of the cave is a unique glazed urn which cannot be picked up. However, a jug with a similar appearance can be found in the middle of the chamber.
