Bloodskal Barrow is an ancient Nordic tomb in Solstheim, located due north of Raven Rock.
History[]
The mysterious, magical wall of Bloodskal Barrow.
Bloodskal Barrow once belonged to the Bloodskal Clan.[1] It is the resting place of Zahkriisos, one of the four Dragon Priests on the island of Solstheim.
Sometime before the events of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, miners in Raven Rock broke through the wall of Raven Rock Mine and found the barrow.[2] Gratian Caerellius, an Imperial miner, found the Bloodskal Blade, a unique two-handed sword, while exploring the tomb.
Unfortunately, he was mortally wounded by draugr and died in the barrow. 200 years later, Crescius Caerellius, Gratian's descendant, attempted to uncover the secrets of his great-grandfather's death in the ruins.

Trivia[]
- There is a stalhrim deposit in the barrow that requires an ancient Nordic pickaxe to mine. If the quest "An Axe to Find," given by Glover Mallory, is active, the Dragonborn can order Crescius to give it to them.
- An Ancient Nordic Pickaxe can be looted from a chest inside the mine.
- A hooded red Dunmer Outfit, a fork weapon, a knife weapon, and two bottles of sujamma can all be found in the tower to the south.
- The writing on the word wall in the barrow appears to be written in blood instead of carved into the wall.
- A Shrine of Kynareth and a respawning Albino Spider Pod and/or Damaged Albino Spider Pod near the shrine can be found south of the Barrow.[3]
