Odd, rare, or unusual places/items

If you have found some dungeons or items that are cool please post the location of it or it's name here

 

Robbers glen cave: found along the road to “the inn of ill omen" from bravil it is a cave that is inhabited by imps but has pretty freakin awsome loot in the chest beware that at the end of the cave is some leveled monster that can be hard to kill.

Most of the chests in the dungeons are randomly assigned--including Robber's Glen Cave, I think. It depends in large part on level what you find, at least unless you add mods.

I found a non-random Daedric Claymore in one of the dead drop locations for the Dark Brotherhood (I think). The section of the dungeon was called "Hold-your-breath" and was heavily flooded. I can't remember the full name, though, sadly...

 

Also, there's one Ayleid ruin that, with OOO installed, has a meteorite weapon hidden on a small ledge in a hallway. I only saw it because the gem on it glowed in the darkness. I'll look the names of the places up...

 

Also, most people probably know this, but Vilverin has an Ayleid statue in it. Said statue is part of a long quest. If you sell one of them, a servant will eventually walk up to you and initiate the quest.

 

There's also a similar questline that starts in the inn right across the bridge from the Imperial City. The innkeeper asks you to find 6 bottles of Shadowbanish wine, which is found in fort ruins. I found one location, will post the name shortly.

 

Edit: The Ayleid ruin I mentioned earlier is Nornal, east of the Imperial City and south of Cheydinhal. It's one of the dead drop locations for the Dark Brotherhood. Walk down the stairs and turn left (to the right in the water is the dead drop location) into the bigger room with the elevator. Turn right and look behind the crate to press a switch that opens a wall. Go through the new opening in said wall. The meteorite mace will be on one of the small ledges (the one closest and to your left) just above your head in the 4-way spot of the hallway - you'll have to jump and grab it. The only enemies in the first part of the dungeon are critters.

 

Nornalhorst is an unrelated Ayleid ruin full of vampires, southeast of Skingrad. It's part of a quest in OOO (you can pick it up by reading a certain book on vampires [An Extended History of Vampires in Tamriel, Volume 2, I think], one of which can be found on a table after the boss of Crowhaven, the place where the Grey Prince/Grand Champion sends you). Of note is the massive amount of rare OOO loot the place has - blood leather, dark elven armor, and lots of other expensive goodies. Of particular note is a meteoric fire staff that can be found in a coffin in the second area of the dungeon, in the long room full of pedestals with welkynd stones. However, I would recommend not coming here unless you're quite strong, as nearly every enemy is a high level vampire (and the final boss is just nasty with chameleon, dispel, high damage, too much health, spell absorption, and very high resistance to fire [which sucks because vampires are weak vs fire], although he has some unique loot). I tried clearing the place at level 23 and couldn't finish the second part.

 

Nenyond Twill is an Ayleid ruin (starting to see a pattern here) that is part of a Mages' Guild quest. It's near the road, south of the Imperial City and east of Skingrad - sort of at a right angle between them. It is FULL of awesome leveled loot, especially if you have OOO - there's a high chance of getting a meteoric weapon and other assorted goodies. In the room with the little walkway across the water, there is a switch in the water you can press to get a varla stone (if memory serves correctly).

 

I couldn't find the other two dungeons I mentioned before the edit, but oh well.
