📋 About This Mod
Questline: The Bitter Claim
Northeast of Rorikstead, where the river bends through the wilds, lies Skeldrun Barrow, a forgotten resting place of the Nords and the secrets they left behind. Legends speak of a powerful relic sealed within its crypts, a treasure said to grant strength beyond measure to any who dare to claim it.
But beware...
The guardian of Skeldrun Barrow still lingers, bound by oath and fury. Face him in battle, and you will hear his taunting voice echo through the chamber, a grim reminder to all who dare disturb his eternal watch.
