Wolfskull Cave

Wolfskull Cave is a location in the Haafingar Hold. It is located in the snowy foothills west of Solitude.

Wolfskull Cave
Wolfskull cave is a small cave system that leads to the underground ruins of Wolfskull Ruins. Necromancers, draugr, and skeletons guard this area. It is an explorable dungeon found due west of Solitude and up the mountainside. The name comes from its history as a place to practice necromancy for a former Queen of Skyrim. The quest "The Man Who Cried Wolf" takes place in this cave. The quest is given by Falk Firebeard, Steward to Jarl Elisif of Solitude.

Wolfskull Ruins
Wolfskull Ruins is the remains of the underground stone stronghold of the Wolf Queen who terrorized the surrounding territory in ages past until she was hunted down and killed. The ruins are currently inhabited by a group of necromancers who are trying to summon her back into the realm.

This area is only accessable during the quest "The Man Who Cried Wolf" and will be sealed off with ice if you go into the Wolfskull Cave before starting the quest and all the enemies replaced with Bandits.
