"By the gods, a dragon's been sighted just south of the city, flying around Lost Tongue Overlook."
―Riften Guard[src]

Located south of Riften, following the stairs leads up to the overlook and the word wall. There is usually a dragon perched on the wall. It is very common to fight a second dragon at this location, as they often spawn in this area.

The word wall here teaches a word of the Dismay shout.

Traps

Just past the archway of rubble is an ice magic trap. Remove the soul gem to disable it. Additionally, striking the gem with a launched arrow will knock it from the trap, also disabling it. If you do not have a bow, it is possible to go behind it to remove it.
