Location
Edit
Skyborn Altar is located east-southeast of Morthal, south-southwest of Dawnstar, atop a mountain. It's also the location of a Word Wall - Frost Breath.
Notable Loot
Edit
- Treasure chest behind one of the pillars on the left (facing the word wall), containing random loot. There is a single burial urn adjacent to it.
Notes
Edit
When fighting the dragon at this altar, it is advisable not to bring the fight to the top of the clifftop, since the dragon's corpse can ragdoll all the way down the cliff, making its contents difficult to loot.
If approached before the "Dragon Rising" quest is completed, this location will be host to a wisp mother and her wisps as well as a sacrificial table with a shrine of Akatosh on it.
Quests
Edit
A courier may give you a letter from a friend to seek out this location.
This can be one of the locations for the Dragon Seekers quest given by either Farkas or Vilkas.
Bugs
Edit
- 360 When approaching the word wall the animation triggers and the word is learnt but when you access shouts the word is not there to unlock so you can't learn it.
- If you happen upon the book N'Gasta! Kvata! Kvakis! prior to getting the quest from the mages college, leave it be, otherwise it'll glitch at (in my games situation) "find the copy" even if it's in your inventory, the game does not register it and still assumes it to be in the chest.
- PC PS3 When coming back to this location several times, it will be impossible to get the soul from the dead dragons on the lair.
- 360 PC It's impossible to learn the word on the wall, you are in front of the wall and hear the "wind & souls", but the animation does not start.
