Skyrim:Sunderstone Gorge

Sunderstone Gorge is a heavily trapped narrow cave system inhabited by warlocks, located west of Bloated Man's Grotto. It contains several varieties of fire traps and a word wall which teaches part of the Fire Breath shout. An unusual gem is located on the large stone bier in front of the word wall.

When you get to the word wall you may encounter a bug where the word absorbs as normal but doesn't appear in the shout menu and you cannot unlock it. This appears to be permanent. ^?
