Orphan Rock is a landmark located in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

LocationEdit

Orphan Rock is located north of the road running between Helgen and Ivarstead. When traveling from Helgen, there is a path on the left side of the road before reaching the Falkreath Stormcloak Camp. If travelling from Riverwood, there is a path behind Hod and Gerdur's house, leading south.

BackgroundEdit

Orphan Rock is the home of a Hagraven and several witches and hags who serve her. It is a large pillar of natural stone that is accessed by a fallen tree bridge. There is an Arcane Enchanter located there.

This location appears to have been used for the sacrifice/slaughter of Spriggans, as the body of one is found atop a brazier here. Also, there are two Spriggan heads mounted on sticks, next to the tree trunk bridge.

The camp is also protected by bear traps and several Frost Runes.

TriviaEdit

The Hagraven will not appear until the quest The Blessings of Nature is active.
There is a skeleton in the base of the big fallen tree to the south with a coin purse. It may take some dragging/adjusting the skeleton to collect it.
Two rubies can sometimes be found in mid-air, just east of the Arcane Enchanter. It's possible that they were placed with the intention of being set into the eye-sockets of the animal skull above the nearby tent but were forgotten.

QuestsEdit

The Blessings of Nature

BugsEdit

It is possible that there will be no fallen tree to cross over if the quest to retrieve Nettlebane for Danica pure-spring has not been activated
There is a chance that the Hagraven will not attack.
