Walkthrough

Exterior

The cave is on the plains west of Whiterun, at the end of a path that winds behind the rock into which the entrance is built. The entrance is thus concealed from the road between Fort Greymoor to the south and Hamvir's Rest to the north. An iron ore vein is above the cave entrance to the southeast. Three unusable barrels and a crate are on either side of the entrance.

Redoran's Retreat

Many fungi grow in the cave, comprising a total of twelve bleeding crown, two blisterwort, two fly amanita, one imp stool, two Namira's rot, and one white cap. Food barrels and sacks, crates, and unusable barrels are found throughout the cave. The entrance leads into a passage that descends to the west, turns north, and passes a narrow braced section to enter the first chamber, which is lit by strings of lanterns. A set of shelves on the left holds four bottles of ale, a bandit patrols near a rock pillar, and a dog (see bugs) wanders the area. Behind the pillar to the east is a novice-locked chest and a small wooden table to the left holding six loose coins and two iron arrows.

Loot chamber

To the west is a narrow twisting passage that opens into a second chamber, where another bandit patrols and a bandit boss is seated at the rear. The chamber features a central rock pillar and two bone chimes hanging from the ceiling. Some wooden planking on the ground to the left supports three unowned bedrolls, and a small wooden table holds a bottle of ale. To the right is a small shelving unit holding a leg of goat and two cabbages. A second shelving unit to the right of the first holds a random healing, magicka, or stamina potion. At the rear of the chamber is a campfire with a cooking spit. A copy of the Sneak skill book 2920, Last Seed, v8 sits on a crate to the east. To the right, an unlocked boss chest is protected by a bear trap in front. The chest holds Treasure Map IV. Along the north wall are many food barrels on more wooden planking.

Notes

• The cave's name may refer to House Redoran of Morrowind.

Bugs

• The dog will not respawn after being killed.
