Swindler's Den (Cave)

Swindler's Den is a cave East of Rorikstead and South of Morthal in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It is inhabited by several bandits, bandit thugs and a highwayman. Swindler's Den serves as the base of the Alik'r in the quest, In My Time of Need. In the third large room, the Pickpocket Skill Book Thief is sitting on a bedroll on the ground. In the next room you will find a copy of A Night Falls on Sentinel that is on a crate next to a deer pelt. This book is needed for a quest given to you by Rustleif in Dawnstar.

Near the end of the cave, there is iron ore you can mine, if you have a pick axe.
