- For the Oblivion location, see Boethiah's Shrine.
The Sacellum of Boethiah is a Daedric Shrine east of Windhelm. After level 30, it will be populated by Cultists of Boethiah.
Location[]
From Windhelm, travel northeast until passing Hlaalu Farm and Hollyfrost Farm. Keep following the road east and stay slightly to the right until one comes upon Traitor's Post, a bandit hideout. There is a fork in the road here; stay to the right until parallel to the road the Dragonborn was just on and traveling west. A scavenger and troll may be encountered on this road. Alternatively, travel to Narzulbur and head north to a nearby hunter's camp, continue east from there.
On approach, the sky will slowly turn to night, regardless of whether it is day. Many burned bodies are lying around the Sacrificial Pillar meaning that a lot of people have been sacrificed before. Several bloodstains and bloody bones can be found scattered throughout as well.
Quests[]
Note: if the Dragonborn visits the location prior to level 30 the quest will not activate, and the location will be empty.
Amenities[]
Daedric Markings[]
The Daedric markings on the pillar read:
This translates to:
"I am alive because that one is dead.
I exist because I have the will to do so."

Trivia[]
- Even though the sky surrounding the shrine appears dark at all times, daytime music will still play here during daytime hours.
- If the Dragonborn makes their way back down the hill during daytime hours, the sky will re-brighten. If they immediately turn around and go back up the hill when that occurs, there is a chance for the sky to stay bright and not re-darken.

- PC 360 PS3 The sky may not darken completely upon reaching the sacellum. It also may not darken at all.
- If the Dragonborn sacrifices someone at the sacellum before receiving the quest, the player will be prevented from advancing once the player has started the quest and brought another sacrifice to the Pillar.
