Lost Valley Redoubt

Description
The Lost Valley Redoubt is a sprawling ruin at the southeastern portion of The Reach and is located about halfway between Markarth and Falkreath. It is situated at the river-head of the Karth River. The ruins are home to an encampment of Forsworn and Hagraven. At the top of the waterfall, near Bard's Leap Summit (behind hide screens), a Word Wall is guarded by two Hagravens. If one sneaks up on them, it is possible to catch the hags performing the dark ritual which turns a human Forsworn into a Forsworn Briarheart. The Briarheart may revive and attack the player.


 * If sneaking through the Forsworn encampment to reach the top, the dialogue of the Forsworn centers around the fact that one of them has decided to give his heart to "the hags" and become a Briarheart.
