Orphan Rock

Location
Orphan Rock is located north of the road running between Helgen and Ivarstead. If you are traveling from Helgen, there is a path on the left side of the road before you reach the Falkreath Stormcloak Camp. If travelling from Riverwood, there is a path behind Hod and Gerdur's house, leading south.

Description
Orphan Rock is the home of a Hagraven and several witches and hags who serve her. It is a large pillar of natural stone that is accessed by a fallen tree bridge. There is an Arcane Enchanter located there.

This location appears to have been used for the sacrifice/slaughter of Spriggans, as the body of one is found atop a brazier here. Also, there are two Spriggan heads mounted on sticks, next to the tree trunk bridge.

The camp is also protected by bear traps and several Frost Runes around it.

The Hagraven will not appear until you receive the quest.

There is a skeleton in the base of the big fallen tree to the south with a coin purse, takes some dragging/adjusting the skeleton to collect it.

Two rubies can sometimes be found in mid-air, just east of the Arcane Enchanter. It's possible that they were placed with the intention of being set into the eye-sockets of the animal skull above the nearby tent but were forgotten.

Quests
Danica Pure-Spring sends the Dragonborn here as part of a Side Quest The Blessings of Nature for the Nettlebane.

Bugs

 * It is possible that there will be no fallen tree to cross over if the quest to retrieve Nettlebane for Danica pure-spring has not been activated
 * There is also a chance that the Hagraven you are supposed to kill will not attack you. (not sure about probability)

Notable Loot

 * Nettlebane

Notable Areas Nearby

 * Falkreath Stormcloak Camp to the east.
 * North Skybound Watch along the path north of the camp.
