Skyrim:Unmarked Places

This article describes places of interest in Skyrim that are not marked on your map, are not represented by icons on your compass, and aren't directly related to any quests. Some of the places on this list do not have official names or titles, in which case unofficial names have been used to describe the places.
 

Unmarked Bandit and Forsworn Camps

West of Dragonsreach there is a bandit camp under a cliff. A horse with a carriage is located here along with a chest, potions, skooma, and a copy of the Pickpocket skill book Aevar Stone-Singer. Attempting to open the chest will trigger the appearance of more bandits. You will be brought here during the quest The Staff of Hasedoki, as part of the Staff of Hasedoki Creation.

There are four tents in the camp; one tent contains a chest and a satchel, while another contains a copy of the Block skill book Death Blow of Abernanit. A few common alchemical ingredients can be found around the campfire.  
thumb|right|Bleak Falls Tower
Bleak Falls Tower is a bandit-occupied Nordic tower located east of Bleak Falls Barrow, along the path between it and Riverwood. It is occupied by three leveled bandits; the first one lounges against a tree next to the path, the second paces back and forth across a bridge and through the entry door, and the third waits near the top of the tower. All three will only turn hostile if you approach the tower too closely. The tower contains only a few valuables: a table on the first level holds a coin purse, four barrels near the top contain foodstuffs and a few salt piles, while an unlocked chest at the very top contains leveled loot. Two iron ore veins can be found just south of the tower down a steep path.  
South of Ragnvald, a bit uphill, there is a small hagraven camp initially found empty. The hostile hagraven will appear coming up the road to the camp as soon as you open the chest in her tent, barring your escape route. The camp can easily be found as it is in the end of a path forking away uphill from the path to Ragnvald.  
West of Dawnstar, three bandits have set up a camp below a rock ledge. The only items of note in their camp are an unlocked treasure chest and a copy of the Destruction skill book A Hypothetical Treachery.  
A pair of Forsworn and their dog set up a small camp southwest of Bthardamz, but likely fell victim to the frost troll that now occupies the camp. The camp consists of a campfire and two tents, one of which holds an unlocked chest containing minor loot, while the other holds a copy of the Destruction skill book The Art of War Magic. A few animal pelts and a tanning rack attest to the late occupants' activities.  
A pair of Forsworn, one of which is a magic-user have a pair of hay piles around a campfire north of Valthume, south of Old Hroldan near a cliff edge above the road and river. There is an apothecary's satchel on one of the hay piles and a random war axe among some firewood beside the campfire.

thumb|right|Bandit Bridge: Pinewatch
Southwest of Pinewatch. It consists of two wooden towers that straddle the Helgen-Falkreath road, linked by a rope bridge. A bandit archer keeps watch atop each tower. Approaching the bridge activates a boulder trap attached to the structure.

In the immediate area are four Nordic barnacle clusters and three spiky grass plants that can be harvested for their respective ingredients.  
South of Hillgrund's Tomb is a large fallen tree bridging a tributary of the White River that runs between two sheer cliffs.

Next to the boat, in the river, is a chest and two mead barrels.  
To the east of Greenwall Cave's main entrance (the one exterior to the fort), there is a caged wolf.

Up along the mountainside due east of Wolfskull Cave, and due south of the Steed Stone, is a dead female bandit with two leveled potions and a sack of food, right next to a tree.

On the glacier, overlooking Saarthal to the west is an unlocked chest by skeletal remains of a deer and human. It is much closer to Saarthal than the mammoth.  
A short distance west of the Shrine to Peryite, on the far side of the mount that the shrine is built on, is a Dwemer tower-like structure, inhabited by a wispmother and three wisps. There are several pieces of broken masonry and steam pipes, along with an unlocked Dwarven chest located a few paces north of the main structure.

Southeast of Ivarstead and south of Geirmund's Hall is a novice necromancer at a curious "altar" reanimating chickens. A wooden box at the base of the altar contains a giant's toe, a soul gem and chicken eggs. The necromancer carries the conjuration skill book 2920, Frostfall, v10.

North of North Brittleshin Pass in the valley leading to it is an apprentice-locked strongbox in a hollow fallen tree.  
North of North Brittleshin Pass just on the other side of the road is an apprentice-locked strongbox inside a circle of small dead trees and bloodied grasses.  
East of Eldergleam Sanctuary and northwest of The Atronach Stone is a crate with soul gems laying on top and an enchanting skill book A Tragedy in Black.  
Southeast of Winterhold on the shore at the mouth of an icy canyon are two skeletons. One is caught in a bear trap. An Apothecary's Satchel contains the alchemy skill book Mannimarco, King of Worms.

West of Redoran's Retreat and due south of Greenspring Hollow is a rock pile with an iron helm in the mountain flowers at the base.  
Slightly northeast of Mistwatch, a lone giant stands in mourning over a dead mammoth. He is non-hostile unless attacked.
Just above the entrance to Red Eagle Redoubt, south-southeast of the marker is a stone table with a large stone claw-shaped statue beside the table like those found in barrows throughout Skyrim. There are a couple of hanging mosses growing from it and behind it is an unlocked wooden chest. The easiest way of reaching this is to climb the wooden stairs to the raised lookout point outside the entrance to the redoubt, where an archer Forsworn keeps watch and then follow the slope up to your right. There is also a silver ore vein slightly to the north of the table.

 

Dragonborn
This section describes unmarked places on the island of Solstheim added by the Dragonborn add-on. They usually aren't directly related to any quests (though several of them contain East Empire Company strongboxes, related to the Pain in the Necklace quest).

From Damphall Mine, head north until you see a few patches of snowberries. Turn left at the next rock and you'll see a wooden platform with many barrels, a chest, and a couple crates. An East Empire Company strongbox sits on the crate to the left. Beware, as Rieklings will ambush you when you approach, popping out of the barrels and the snow. The remaining barrels contain foodstuffs. Using the Aura Whisper shout will reveal the Rieklings' locations before they emerge; using this you can strike them before they burst from the snow.

Shrine of Kynareth
thumb|left|Shrine of Kynareth
Fast travel to Bloodskal Barrow. Turn around and follow the coast south until you see a downed tree to your left. It will be near a large patch of grass, an ash creep cluster, and three scathecraw. There should be a small gap between the tree and the rock just to its right (west). The Earth Stone should be almost directly south from your position. If you look south into the rocky hills, you will see a trail marker cairn. Head toward the marker to find a second trail marker cairn; look a few feet east of that second cairn to find the shrine on top of a lantern. Beside the shrine are an amulet of Kynareth, flin, two trama roots, three ash yams, and an albino spider pod.  
 

Shrine of Zenithar

Spider Ambush
thumb|left|Spider Ambush
West-southwest of Kagrumez you will find a broken tree stump with a burning log next to it. There are green, slimy pods stuck to the stump, the largest of which will burst open when you approach, releasing a jumping flame spider. There is a knapsack, an apothecary's satchel, and a ruby geode next to the stump.  
 

Usha's Camp
thumb|left|Usha's Camp
Follow the stream west of Ashfallow Citadel north to a barred gate. You can actually unbar the gate from the outside by aiming at the gap between the gates, but you won't be able to climb up onto the platforms once inside. It's tricky, but possible, to reach the lowermost platform by moving as far upstream as you can, facing the platform, and simultaneously pressing forward and jump. Instead of climbing the platforms inside, climb the mountain on the side and jump down to the wooden structure behind the gate. Usha lies dead on a bedroll with a few empty skooma bottles strewn about his side. On the table next to him is a lantern, three bottles of skooma, a coin purse, and a letter from his lover. On another table, you'll find six loose gold ores. To the right of this table is an unlocked chest with a pickaxe sitting on top, and an East Empire Company strongbox in front of it.
