Chillwind Depths

Location
Chillwind Depths is a partially flooded cave located directly south from Dragon Bridge, west from Morthal. The cave entrance can be found by the side of a small waterfall.

Description
Chillwind Depths initial chambers are populated with Frostbite Spiders. There are plenty mushrooms growing through the entire cave, which makes it an excellent place for harvesting ingredients.

Many of its tunnels are flooded or partially filled with water. There's an hidden underwater chamber which can only be reached by diving. There are some breathing spots, making it possible to reach it without the need of Water Breathing Potions. The underwater chamber contains a locked (Aprentice) chest with gold and a Dwarven Helmet.

Deeper inside the cave there is a small Falmer settlement, populated by different ranks of Falmer and Chaurus. Throughout the dungeon the player will find adventurers and prisoners dead bodies, among them the body of one Firir, with a Torn Note that reads:


 * "They fell upon us at dusk. Dozens of them. The caravan guards were dead in moments. They took everyone else back to the pens. Blinded those who tried to resist.


 * One by one they've taken the others away - feeding us to those monstruosities, or worse. I don't have much time left. Eydis, my love, if you ever get this, forgive me.


 * Firir"

The last chamber appears to be a place where sacrifice rituals were held, with a stone altar and a dead prisoner body over it. There are blood stains and a Falmer Sword on the altar, as well as dozens of human skelletons in the water beneath it. Beyond it there is a last room with good loot inside an unlocked chest to the left and over a table to the right.
