Honeystrand Cave is a small cave occupied by bears. It is to the south of Ivarstead, across the bridge and close to the road intersection. It is inhabited by several bears that can be found in and around the cave, and is named for several nearby beehives.

Walkthrough

Exterior

Inside Honeystrand Cave

A single leveled bear guards the entrance. There are three beehives nearby (one on the ceal of entrance, two on trees in front with one vacant beehive beetwen them) making it an ideal place for harvesting bees, beehive husks and honeycombs. There is also a canis root near the entrance, two blisterwort fungi, one on both sides of the entrance with one sample of beehive husk on the right and many trees that the bears have damaged or killed.

Honeystrand Cave

The entrance leads directly into a single-chambered cave typically occupied by up to three bears. In front of you is an unlocked chest with a growth of imp stool fungus to the left and a dead bandit beside it; the bandit carries a copy of the Lockpicking skill book The Locked Room. Hanging from the roof of the cave and from ledges are many hanging moss plants, while several torchbugs are flying around the rear of the cave. Next to the west wall is a dead goat with another patch of imp stool, and against the north wall is a patch of white cap fungus. The floor of the cave is littered with old bones, both human and animal, including a lootable skeleton.

Notes

• Honeystrand Cave appears in ESO as Honeystrand Hill.

• There is a dead woodcutter's camp not too far away from Honeystrand Cave. The campsite is northeast of the cave, heading up a hill towards Geirmund's Hall. Southeast from that campsite up on the highest peak is a weird nest for chickens to lay eggs guarded by a novice necromancer. Three chickens out of four were still alive but suddenly drop dead. The fourth one allready dead was used by necromancer as any dead body to perform an attack. Close to nest (made of barrel and mostly animal but human also skeletal remains with nest itself on top) in open box are three chicken's eggs and one giant's toe. There is also a plant gourd nearby.
