Irkngthand is an ancient Dwemer ruin located in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It is located west of Windhelm and south of Yorgrim Overlook. It is the location of the Thieves Guild quest Blindsighted. The Dragonborn cannot gain entry to the ruin before starting this quest. (See Dungeon Lock Outs) Approaching North East from Shearpoint allows entrance by descending from the mountains and if approached right can lead the Dragonborn immediately to the Bandit Chief.
In the courtyard of the ruin there are five bandits and a chest. All but one of the entrances to the interior of the ruin have collapsed.
Irkngthand contains giant mushrooms that are non-interactive objects. Many of Skyrim's mushrooms & fungi can be found growing abundantly in the area.
Irkngthand also harbours the only known statue of a Snow Elf, before years of torturous treatment by the Dwarves caused them to mutate into the vengeful Falmer.
