The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

Nestled in the forested hills just northwest of Ivarstead, Pinepeak Cavern is a small, moss-draped cave hidden among towering pines and the rocky slopes of the Throat of the World. From the outside, it appears unassuming—peaceful, even—but within, it houses a solitary and formidable troll, making it a treacherous surprise for unprepared travelers. The cavern itself is damp and dimly lit, with roots dangling from the ceiling and the scent of earth and decay lingering in the air. Bones and tattered remnants of the troll's past victims litter the ground, warning of the creature's violent territory. Pinepeak Cavern may be small, but it’s a deadly detour along the pilgrim’s path to High Hrothgar—a reminder that even in the shadow of the sacred, Skyrim’s wilds remain dangerous and untamed.
