Fort Dunstad is a fort located in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

BackgroundEdit

Fort Dunstad is a fort south of Dawnstar. This fort features a fighting pit for skeevers run by Bandits. The interior has many Cheese Wheels and caged skeevers. The fighting pit is in the main chamber of the fort, with two cages above it controlled by a lever. The Bandit Chief is at the top of the Prison, while the Captain's Quarters is inhabited by a magic-wielding Bandit. Upstairs, a Snow Bear's head can be found with a Goat-Cheese wedge inside its mouth.

In the main building of Fort Dunstad, on the upper floor, there is a trapdoor that requires a key to be opened. The key's location is a mystery.
