Sightless Pit

The Sightless Pit is a cave system located south and slightly west of Winterhold. The entrance to the Sightless Pit is a straight drop down, meaning that once the player enters the only way out of the cave is to go forward. An abandoned camp and a number of dead bandits early on in the cave warn the player of a potential threat. The Sightless Pit is inhabited by the Falmer and their accompanying Frostbite Spiders, making it a dangerous encounter for low to mid-level players, especially without a means of escape. The caves gradually transition into a Dwemer ruin complete with a number of traps, which eventually leads to the Temple of Xrib.
