"Rjorn's drum! Nobody knows where he died, and therefore where his drum might be. Halldir was the missing link. Rjorn entered Halldir's Cairn in secret, and presumably died there."
―Giraud Gemane[src]

Rjorn's Drum is a quest available in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Once the Dragonborn is a member of the Bards College, faculty members offer quests. Giraud Gemane will ask the hero to track down Rjorn's Drum, which is in Halldir's Cairn, just southwest of Falkreath. The Drum is found in a chest in the final room.

Background

Giraud Gemane of the Bards College has found a clue to the location of the legendary drum of Rjorn. He's asked me to go to Halldir's Cairn and retrieve it.

Objectives

  1. Find Rjorn's Drum
  2. Give Rjorn's Drum to Giraud

Walkthrough

Upon entering the Cairn, a strange pillar of damaging energy will be seen with a few corpses around it. Nearby is a small pedestal with Agrius's Journal and a key to a nearby door. The journal simply tells of the fate of the three bandits.

Going through the (Adept) locked door, one enters the Cairn proper. The Cairn is standard, containing mostly sleeping draugr and ghosts. Part way through is a draugr sitting on a throne near a blocked door; the lever for the door is behind the throne.

This eventually leads to another burial chamber with a pillar puzzle. The proper glyphs for each pillar is on the wall facing it. After lining up the three pillars, the nearby lever will open the sealed door (as opposed to triggering an arrow trap).

Eventually, the Dragonborn will reach the final room and face Halldir himself. Halldir has the annoying habit of summoning clones of himself that must be put down. At 75% health he will split into three clones that each cast fire, ice, and shock spells. Only after one defeats the three clones will the real Halldir return. He carries a unique staff, and is near a chest containing Rjorn's Drum and a few leveled loot.

Finally, open the trap door in the middle of the room and drop down (using the staggered wooden platforms) to reach the entry chamber to the Cairn. 

Return Rjorn's Drum to Giraud at the Bards college to receive the reward: +1 to Two-Handed, One-Handed, Heavy Armor, Smithing, Archery and Block.
