Shimmermist Hills

Shimmermist Hills is an ancient Dragon Burial Mound, in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Location
Shimmermist Hills is a short walk northwest of Shimmermist Cave. It is very easy to spot, being a big, green, earthen mound, with standing stones surrounding it.

Description
Upon starting the quest Elder Knowledge, the commander of the Dragons, Alduin, will fly over this mound, ressurecting the long-dead Dragon inside. (With enough luck, the player can witness the ressurection, and kill the Dragon whilst being brought back to life.) If the player doesn't encounter the ressurection, and doesn't fight the Dragon afterwards, it will fly away with Alduin. However, after a period of time, the Dragon will return to it's mound, flying above the mound and waiting for the Dragonborn to fight it.

The Dragon is leveled, which means it will be a different variant of Dragon, depending on your level, making the fight vary for different players. For some, it could be a normal Dragon, and for other players, it could be a Frost Dragon, etc. No matter what rank the Dragon is, be sure to bring plenty of health potions, and a good weapon, if you wish to survive the battle.
