Altar in the Woods is an unmarked location found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Description[]
Due north of Autumnshade Clearing is a Dwemer Ruin with a circle of archways. In the center a Mage has set up an altar. If spotted, the mage will attack on sight.
There are several pieces of Dwemer metal strewn about. There is a locked cage on the inside of one of the arches which can be opened by lock picking it. There is also an empty Dwemer Convector. The mage also has some notable things on him which include fire salts and a skill book.
