Shadowgreen Cavern

Shadowgreen Cavern is a cave located north of Solitude. Inside are wolves, spriggans, and cave bears. At certain angles, quest objectives located within may appear to mark a location just east of the Thalmor Embassy, however the cavern is located further to the northeast, at the base of the cliffs close to sea-level.
==Quests==
===Retrieve Noster Eagle-Eye's helmet===
This is a possible location to find the helmet. It will be located in a chest atop the rock formation in the center of the cave.
==Notable items==
*Meridia's Beacon (chance of it being located here)
*Noster's Helmet (chance of it being located here)
*Moonstone ore vein – Reached by crossing the arch at the top of the spire and dropping down to it from the western edge of the ledge holding the chest. A skeleton with items lies next to it.
