Title: Which arcane enchanter is closest to a fast travel point?
Question: I find myself using Azura's Star every time it is full to level up enchanting. Currently, I am using the arcane enchanter in Dragonsreach which is quite a walk. What is the closest arcane enchanter to a fast travel drop point? Are there any in the open world so I don't need to enter/exit the area every time?

Answers:
sents: text: I like to use the arcane enchanter in Drelas' Cottage .
text: Its easy to fast travel to and has both an enchanter and alchemy station.
text: The only draw back is that you do need to cross a loading boundary and that the owner is a rather high level mage that does not take kindly to strangers.
text: Here is the location on the map: update
text: If you are playing Skyrim on steam, there is a nice mod in the workshop that adds a fast travel icon on the world map for every player owned house.

sents: text: The fastest one to travel to that I know of is in Mistveil Keep , in Riften.
text: There is an arcane enchanter just inside, in the first room on the left.

sents: text: Perhaps not the fastest, but very convenient because it's very close to a marketplace and some player-owned storage containers, is the one in Honeyside after you've bought the upgrade .
text: The house is just a short walk from the entrance to Riften , and the Enchanter is just downstairs.
text: If you're Thane of the Rift , you've also got your handy-dandy Housecarl , Iona , available if you need help carrying stuff.
text: And, if you're also inclined to do some Alchemy , you can buy another upgrade for the house that puts an Alchemy Lab right in the next room.
text: Like I said, it may not be the absolute fastest
text: but, I find it fairly convenient.
text: It's the one I personally prefer to use. NOTE:

sents: text: I find Orphan Rock just southeast of Riverwood is the fastest Arcane Enchanter.
text: It's out in the open, and there's no loading required to reach it or tough characters surrounding it.
