Rift Watchtower[edit]

This is a two-story watchtower, with a wooden structure leading up to the door, and an Orc bandit standing in front. There is another Orc bandit on the ground floor of the tower. You will find a pile of firewood to your left, with a tanning rack next to it. Opposite you is a table holding a mead barrel, a leg of goat, two leather strips, two garlic bulbs, a rock warbler egg, two raw rabbit legs, and a copy of The Code of Malacath. There is an open fire and cooking spit with a charred skeever cooking over it, which you can harvest for a charred skeever hide.

There is a stone spiral staircase leading to the top level to your right. Ascend this and you will be confronted by an Orc bandit and the boss. There is an Orc-styled shelter atop the watchtower with a long wooden table and two chairs. On the table are a joint of raw beef, grilled leeks, a bottle of Nord mead, an enchanted Orcish warhammer, a copy of the Heavy Armor skill book Hallgerd's Tale, and a copy of The True Nature of Orcs. Behind the table is an unlocked chest, and to the left is a small table holding a random bow and arrows.

Notes[edit]

Bugs[edit]

  • The bandit leader (an unnamed Orc) does not respawn, which makes it impossible to complete radiant quests at this location if he has been killed previously.
