Arcwind Point is an ancient Nordic tomb located in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. This area is accessible through two winding mountain passes. One path is to the east of Autumnwatch Tower before reaching Froki's Shack marked with some ancient Nordic ruins. The other path is directly south of Haemar's Shame.

The area around the Temple is vast. Near the center is a sarcophagus containing a leveled Draugr Deathlord or Dragon Priest. With The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard installed, this is just northeast of the word wall and the dragon, often leading to fights between the Draugr and the Dragon. In the high northeastern section of this area is a tower with a few leveled undead.

Trivia

• If Dragons pass the location, the entombed Draugr reanimate to fight it. Oddly enough, however, Draugr are said to be the undead worshipers of dragonkind.
• This is one of the few locations in the game where one can meet Draugr Deathlord at lower levels.
• Depending on one's level the one sacrophagus on the elevated octagon shaped plateau may even hold a maskless Dragon Priest.
• With the addition of The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard, a word wall will be present with the new shout Drain Vitality

Bugs

•  PC   360  If Arngeir gives Arcwind Point as the location of a Word of Power, finding the word wall and learning the word may not complete the "Find the Word of Power in Arcwind Point" miscellanous quest objective. Finding some more words of power may fix the glitch.^[1]
• If playing on the PC, and encounter the above bug, there is a fix. To complete the quest, open the console and type "SetStage FreeFormHighHrothgarA 20" (without quotations). This will advance the objective to become complete.
• If the Word of Power at Arcwind Point has already been found before Arngeir has given the "Find the Word of Power in Archwind Point" miscellanous quest, then the quest may be unachievable due to the word wall already being empty.
