The Dragonstone is a quest item and artifact in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. On the front is a map of Skyrim depicting the location of the Dragon Burial mounds. On the back is a passage written in the Dragon Alphabet.
Acquisition[]
The stone can be retrieved from the corpse of the guardian of Bleak Falls Barrow who will be a Draugr Overlord. It is located in the Inner Sanctum, which is in the same room as the Word Wall.
Quests[]
Bleak Falls Barrow[]
Return the Dragon Stone to Farengar Secret-Fire. He will only accept the Dragonstone after the quest "Dragon Rising" has begun. If the stone has been obtained before Bleak Falls Barrow has started, then it can be turned over to him immediately.
Disadvantages[]
Presenting the Dragonstone to Farengar automatically starts the "Dragon Rising" mission. Upon completion of "Dragon Rising," the game world irrevocably changes and the Dragonborn is thereafter subject to random dragon attacks, which not only makes travelling around Skyrim hazardous (especially for low-level players), it occasionally results in the death of non-essential NPCs who may still have quests to be completed.

Trivia[]
- The Dragonstone was seemingly originally intended to be a book, since all comments and references in the scripts and creation kit refer to it as "the book" that the Dragonborn must retrieve.
