Twilight Sepulcher is an ancient Nordic tomb in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Location[]

The Twilight Sepulcher is in Falkreath Hold, on its western border. It is not near any other locations and is one of few Nordic ruins in that Hold.

History[]

The Sepulcher is home to the Ebonmere; Nocturnal's portal to the Evergloam and the resting place for the Skeleton Key. This is the entrance to Pilgrim's Path, a maze of enemies and barriers guarding the Sepulcher. It consists of two parts: Twilight Sepulcher and Twilight Sepulcher Inner Sanctum.

Quests[]

Darkness Returns[]

The Dragonborn is sent to the Twilight Sepulcher as part of the Thieves Guild quest to return the Skeleton Key to Nocturnal. The Sepulcher is locked until the quest is started.

Notable items[]

  • A "vacant beehive" can be found to the right of the entrance into the Sepulcher. It contains some bees and a beehusk.
  • Lockpicking skill book Proper Lock Design – On a table in a pit with water/shelves/decorations.
  • Sneak skill book Sacred Witness – On a different table in the same area as the lockpicking skill book.
