The Midden is a small dungeon found underneath The College of Winterhold. Trap doors leading to The Midden can be found just north of the door to the Hall of the Elements in the College's courtyard and under the stairs in the Hall of Countenance. While looking towards the door The Midden is due West and at the top of the stairs. While the members of the college advocate caution when entering The Midden, an alert player should have no trouble with any of the enemies here.
