Many rumours claim the first owner had built secret rooms to hide treasure, can you find them all?

The Skyrim Special Edition version of Wyvern Rock is here! It also has some nice improvements to bugs, adds a quest and also a treasury.

This castle is more like a town than an actual house, so it will likely take some time before you can find everything.
