Uttering Hills Cave

Description
Uttering Hills Cave is located southwest of Anga's Mill in the hold of Eastmarch. The cave is nestled at the top of a snowy mountain pass with a couple of bandit tents out front. The cave entrance leads to a natural stone tunnel which opens into a large cavern that is open to the sky with passages leading to the left and right. Both passages lead to a second cavern with a worked stone entry into a ruined fort/prison.

The fort is composed of stairs leading down to several rooms which is the main living area of the local bandit chief. There is a dining room, barracks room, and prison area with three cells that are opened via pull chains.

Enemies

 * Bandits

Notable Loot

 * A One-Handed skill book, Mace Etiquette, can be found in the room with the Bandit Chief.
 * Corundum Ore Vein near the door to the fort section

Quests

 * Shahvee, found at the Windhelm Docks, may send the Dragonborn to Uttering Hills Cave on a miscellaneous quest to retrieve her Amulet. Lost Knife Hideout is another possible location.
 * If given Shahvee's quest first do not venture beyond the area where you will find her Amulet. Venturing further and looting Linwe's body before the Theves Guild Summerset Shadows quest is given, could result in the Silver Locket being locked permanently as a quest item in your inventory as well as the quest becoming in-completable.
 * Kill the bandit leader - Given to you by Kjar in Windhelm. [Bugged - Tried to do this one after Summerset Shadows, but the quest marker leads to Linwe's empty room, with no leader to kill.]
 * Uttering Hills Cave is one of the places Annekke Crag-Jumper may send you to for her quest.
 * You may be sent here to find The Forgemaster's Fingers.

Amenities

 * Cooking Place
 * Alchemy Lab - inside the stone fort portion

Trivia

 * The Dragonborn may find a Counterfeit Coin Mold in this cave. The item appears to have no use.
