Glenmoril Coven (Skyrim)

Glenmoril Coven is a cave northwest of Falkreath. When first visited, the cave is occupied by Hags. During the Companions' quests Blood's Honor and Purity, the Glenmoril Witches will be present. They are a group of Hagravens who know how to cure Lycanthropy.

Walkthrough
Guarding the outside of the cave is a relatively low level Hag who will immediately turn hostile towards the Dragonborn on-sight. Upon entering the cave, there is a tunnel leading to a large cavernous room containing a Hag and a Skeever, patroling the fire in the centre. On the pathways on the left and right hand side leading up to a second layer, there is a small Frostbite Spider guarding the entrance to another tunnel leading out of the room.

There are a total of four tunnels leading off from the main room ou first enter into: going along the tunnel on the lower right will lead you to a small room containing a Hag, chest with leveled loot, barrel with random food items, and a collection of alchemy ingredients. Going along the lower left tunnel will just take you to an empty room with a waterfall and a Hag.

Now, in the top right tunnel you will find a Hag and a Skeever, after taking them out there is a table with an Arcane Enchanter, a dead goat, and an Enchanting skill book. To the side there is also a barrel of ingredients.

The last tunnel leads to a large cavern with a Skeever, Frostbite Spider and a Hag. At the top there is a tent, along with two barrels of ingredients and a boss chest containing leveled loot and gold. There is a unique looking sacrificial altar with two random potions. Various ingredients are scattered throughout this cavern.

Trivia

 * The exterior shares features with other locations inhabited by Witches, such as Orphan Rock. There are Spriggan heads mounted on sticks, and non-collectable Taproots hang from trees in nets.
 * In very rare cases, when the player reaches higher levels (approx. 50), it is possible to encounter 2 Giant Frostbite Spiders.

Bugs

 * Occasionally when standing close to the walls it is possible to hear a Word of Power. However, there is no word wall here and the word is somewhere behind the walls, outside the boundary of the level. It is possible to glitch out of the given boundaries, however, by sprinting at bowls.
 * When a Glenmoril Witch is killed and the body looted of its head, the body will suddenly jump to a new position, possibly even upright as though mounted on a pole.
