Hrothmund's Barrow

Hrothmund's Barrow is a small cave southwest of Benkongerike.

It contains the axe once wielded by Hrothmund. During the quest Retaking Thirsk, after you have helped a group of Nords clear Thirsk Mead Hall of rieklings, you are sent here to witness a ritual confirming the hall's rightful leader.

The entrance leads into a natural cave with a gold ore vein and three patches of fly amanita fungus. A short flight of stairs ascends to the north along the west wall. At the top of the stairs, a set of iron doors is on the northeast wall, while a concealed door on the southeast wall is opened by the pull chain to the left. Beyond the concealed door is a damp twisting tunnel ending at a second concealed door opened by the pull chain to the right. Beyond this door is a small shallowly flooded chamber containing a silver ore vein and a chest, with a burial urn, a large coin purse, three loose coins, a flawless garnet, an amethyst, and a flawless emerald next to the chest.

Returning to the area outside the first concealed door, beyond the set of iron doors is a flight of stairs descending into a large flooded chamber. As you descend the stairs, the water will drain to reveal two paths on either side of a large stone sculpture. The paths rejoin and continue to the far end of the room, where a raised platform features a stone holding Hrothmund's Axe. Two chests flank the alcove with the stone.
