Eldersblood Peak Dragon

Location

Eldersblood Peak is located on top of a mountain southwest of Morthal. There are two routes to access this location.

1. From Morthal - Follow the river southwest, staying on the south bank until the river widens to a small lake with an island on your right. There is a path on the left hand side. The path follows a series of switch-backs leading up the mountain to a hunters camp and then further up you will pass North Cold Rock Pass and encounter stone stairs leading to the top.
2. From Rannveig's Fast - On the south side of the mountain is the ancient tomb, Rannveig's Fast. From here it is easy to follow the stones stairs up the south face of the mountain until you reach South Cold Rock Pass. The pass leads to the other side of the mountain where you will exit at North Cold Rock Pass. From here simply follow the path up the hill.
3. There is a more difficult way to get there from The Shrine of Azura. Follow the peaks along the ridge of the mountain until you arrive.

Description

Eldersblood Peak is an ancient site and dragon's lair. The mountain top is covered in ice and snow but the hand of man is evident. The peak has been leveled off with giant stone work and look out points which offer a commanding view over the surrounding area, and High Hrothgar can be seen in the distance.

partial translation of the word wall at eldersblood peak

A large dragon wall dominates one side of the peak's upper platform area. The Word Wall romanizes into as:

"BROTHI WahLaan QETHSEGOL KULii VahRUKT ODRAV KeyN-Haal WO DRUN POGaaS ZIN Wah BROD SahQO-STRUNuuah"

This then translates into English as:

"Brothi raised this stone (KULii) memory Odrav Anvil-Hand who bring/brought much honor to Clan Red-(STRUNuuah)".

Currently this is a partial translation due to lack of knowledge of the exact meaning of some words (noted in parentesis). "KULii" is likely a relationship descriptor of some kind, similar to "BRiiNahii" (BRiiNahii combined with VahRUKT (memory) has the meaning of "in memory of her sister" or, as it's translated in Dragon Language: Myth no More, "for her sister"). Brothi and Odrav are personal names. The STRUN in "STRUNuuah" could potentially be "Storm", but without knowing what the 'uuah' means or if it's a separate word at all, we cannot yet guess as to the exact meanin of "STRUNuuah".

You learn "Zun" (Weapon) from this Word Wall as part of the Disarm Dragon Shout.

Enemies

• A pack of Frost Trolls guard this ancient dragon lair if the dragons have not yet returned.

• If you visit here after the dragons have returned, most of the Frost Trolls will have been killed, but you will have a much bigger foe to contend with, that being a leveled Dragon.

Notable Loot

• At the top of the peak is the Word Wall for the Dragon shouts Disarm.
• There is a large unlocked chest next to the dragon wall.
• An Amulet of Mara is next to the Word Wall.

Appearances

Bugs

• In certain circumstances If you are learning the word while you are absorbing the Eldersblood Dragon's soul you will not earn the soul. (360)
• Sometime after clearing the area, another Dragon will spawn in the lair. When you kill it, however, you won't get a Dragon Soul. (360)
• Upon being attacked by the dragon flaying around, it may be invincible (Was approaching from Drelas' Cottage, was unable to damage it with Fire Breath and sword attacks, also had Lydia using a bow, she too did no damage) (360)
