Rjorn's Drum (Item)

Rjorn's Drum is a Quest Item, found in Halldir's Cairn, needed for the Bards College quest Find Rjorn's Drum.

Location
Just southwest of Falkreath you will find Halldir's Cairn where you must fight a series of ghosts and eventually the skeleton boss, Halldir. In the chest at the end you will find Rjorn's Drum.

Behind the scenes

 * 1) The Drum has 4 weight (though quest items are weightless, despite displaying a weight value) and cannot be removed from your inventory until the completion of the quest as it is marked as a quest item. (Hint: If you come across a closed door, the lever for it will be behind the throne).
 * 2) If you have cleared out this cave already and collected the loot it will restock and reset the chests and items so its possible to collect everything twice, (Once for the first quest that brought you here to kill Halldir and a second time for the quest for Rjorn's Drum).

Bugs

 * After you turn in the quest, the drum will remain in your inventory, still marked as a quest item. PC players can remove the quest item using the Console and the following console code: Player.removeitem 000DD640 1
 * After killing Halldir, loot his body to retrieve his staff, if he dropped the staff when you killed him you can pick it up again from the floor, thus getting two.
 * Killing Halldir before he completely stands up will cause the metal gate to stay sealed without being able to aquire Rjorn's Drum at the end. (reload the save before you kill Halldir and letting him get off his throne should allow you to complete the quest)
 * On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage BardsCollegeDrum stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages.
