Vahlok's Tomb is an ancient nordic tomb found on Solstheim ^DB. It is located south of Skaal Village, and east of Kagrumez. It can only be accessed after the quest Lost Legacy has been started. Before the quest A New Source of Stalhrim has been completed, the entrance is covered with blocks and rubble, and the location is unmarked.

Description

The ruin is dotted with Burial Urns and inhabited by Draugr, characteristic of Nordic ruins. The ruin is divided into five subsections, a main chamber, north and south wings, which are adjacent to the main chamber, a large platform pit, and lastly, the main burial chamber of Vahlok the Jailor. This ruin, in comparison to other Nordic ruins, contains a large variety of puzzles, including platforms, pressure plates, and door puzzles.

For a tomb of this size, there are actually very few draugr. Only the north wing of the ruin has significant numbers of them.
