Whiterun Hall of the Dead

It is an area located in and underneath the City of Whiterun.

Locating the Hall of the Dead
Upon entering Whiterun, travel up the stairs in between the Whiterun Guard's Barracks and the Druken Huntsmen. The Hall of the Dead is located at the back of this level, near the steps to Dragonsreach.

Enemies and collectibles
The only enemies in this area will be Skeletons. However, there is a very low concentration of them. You will first encounter only 2 Skeletons, when you first enter the Catacombs. They drop Bone Meal, and a variety of Ancient Nord Weapons. Many of the coffins contain gold coins, goblets, platters, and embalming tools.

Walking into the catacombs, if you turn left is an iron door. Behind it is 2 coin purses and a book called 'The Death Blow of Abernanit' which will increase your blocking skill. Leaving that room and going down the stairs is an Unusual Gem next to a skeleton. Opening the next door at that level is 2 tables with wreaths. The right one holds Andurs' Amulet of Arkay, a quest item involved in the miscellaneous quest found in the Hall of the Dead in Whiterun.
