Shriekwind Bastion



Shriekwind Bastion is a Nordic ruin located north of Falkreath. Inside is the word wall for the Elemental Fury shout.

It can be entered by two separate entrances: North Shriekwind Bastion and South Shriekwind Bastion.

South Shriekwind Bastion
This part of the bastion consists of a number of terraces surrounding a central circular area. A chest with ~875 value (L34) can be found here.
