Mara's Eye Pond

Description
Mara's Eye Pond is a small area consisting of a pool of water with a small island in the middle (perhaps the pupil of the "Eye" of Mara). In the middle of the island, there is a hidden trap door with blood stains leading from a waterlogged boat that leads to Mara's Eye Den. Mudcrab roam the outskirts of the pond as well as the small island. A few Spriggans are found near the area. There is a boat with a sack, a box, and an oar in it, as well as a lantern indicating that this is a possible smuggler's hideout. Weird noises can also be heard around this little island. Strangely, despite not being linked to any waterways, the waters of the pond have a fairly strong northerly current.

Location
Mara's Eye Pond is a short distance east of Gallows Rock.

Mara's Eye Den

 * Two hostile levelled Vampires and a Smuggler will be waiting for you at the end of the den. Note that the Smuggler may have been killed by the Vampires.
 * Inside the den is the Smuggler's Journal, on a table near the entrance, which explains the presence of the Vampires, the executioner's block etc. Below the Vampires' living area is a pool where two holding cages can be found, as well as two treasure chests, and a sculpture of a bird (similar to those found in many dungeons and ruins) with a coin purse sits in the mouth.
 * Of the two cages at the bottom of the well, only one needs to be picked, with a levelled lock. The other is free to open, and contains the body of a Vigilant of Stendarr.
 * Of the two chests in the den, only one is locked.
 * A woodcutter's axe can also be found in the den.
 * The skill book Guide To Better Thieving sits on top of pile of crates with other books and soul gem.
