Glenmoril Coven

Glenmoril Coven is a cave far west of Falkreath inhabited by a group of unique hagravens, the Glenmoril Witches. There is only one zone to the cave; an interior zone with the name of the cave.

When you approach the cave it becomes clear that all is not well. All the local plant-life is dead, and there are mutilated shrines along the path to the cave.

Related Quests

• Blood's Honor: Claim the head of a Glenmoril Witch for Kodlak Whitemane.
• Purity: Help a member of the Circle give up their beasthood. (radiant)

NOTE: Some radiant quests have a sizeable list of possible locations. These quests are not placed on individual place pages, and are instead listed at radiant quest locations.

Notes

• You can read more about the history of the Glenmoral Witches in the Lore article.
• The cave does not normally respawn. However, there is a small exception to this; during Blood's Honor the hags will be replaced by living hagravens. Nothing else respawns, so you cannot pick up two of the skill books or double the ingredients.
• The only difference when the Glenmoral Witches are here, as opposed to the hags, is the hagravens themselves. They follow the same patrol patterns and all the animal positions are the same.
• The bloodied altar in the upper west chamber may be a shrine to Hircine.

Zone 1: Glenmoril Cave

Which tunnel to choose first?

The first thing to do after entering is to find the locked chest, which is in an alcove straight ahead where the tunnel first turns to the right. The second thing is to take note of the two enemies in the large chamber. A hag patrols near the campfire in the middle, but there is a leveled creature to the right, hiding in the darkness. At lower levels there is an additional weak creature by the tunnel to the west on the upper level. Once they are dealt with you can pick up the loot if you wish, which consists entirely of two goat hides; one on the central pillar, and one by back wall. There are ramps leading upwards on either side, and four tunnels leading out from the center room; two on the lower level, and two on the higher level.

Lower North Tunnel

The tunnel to the north on the lower level leads to a small room. There is a hag up to the left by a candle on a barrel. There is a chest to the right as you walk around the central pillar, and a box with two rock warbler eggs and a briar heart, a bit further along. There is also a third rock warbler egg to be harvested from a nest propped against the box.

Lower West Tunnel

The twisting tunnel to the west on the lower level leads to a small room with a waterfall. There is a single hag by the waterfall on the lower far side of the chamber, and nothing else.

Upper North Tunnel

The tunnel to the north on the upper level leads to a medium room. After following the twisting tunnel, turn left to go around the ragged fence. There is a frostbite spider at this point, and a hag further on, near an arcane enchanter. On the table with the enchanter is a dead goat, a goat's head, a bowl of troll fat, and a copy of the Enchanting skill book A Tragedy in Black.

Upper West Tunnel

The altar, tent, and chest. Yours to loot.

Before the tunnel to the west on the upper level, there is a namira's rot plant on the left, and another on the right inside the tunnel. There is also an iron ore vein in the tunnel, on the left hand wall, after turning the corner by the brazier. There is a leveled creature to the right of the entrance to the large chamber, and a hag on the far side, to the left. There is another namira's rot, plus a bleeding crown to the right of the entrance. There are two slaughterfish eggs, and three slaughterfish scales, in a box located to the left and, on a lower section before the area where the hag was.

There is a weak stamina poison, a leveled stamina potion, and a nightshade plant, by the bloodied altar, and a chest on the other side of the tent. Inside the tent there are two barrels, a copy of Destruction skill book Horror of Castle Xyr. There are also two more slaughterfish eggs and three more slaughterfish scales inside the box, under the book. Finally there are three white cap plants and a bleeding crown plant around the pillar to the south.
