'''Snow Veil Sanctum''' is a Nordic ruin located north-north-east of [[Windhelm]].
'''Note:''' Both entrances to the site are initially inaccessible, prior to [[Speaking with Silence]]: the Snow Veil Sanctum gate is shut off by a metal grate, and the main Snow Veil Catacombs entrance requires a key.
== Places ==
This is where [[Mercer Frey]] leads the [[Dragonborn (lore)|Dragonborn]] before his betrayal. The Dragonborn must battle a rather large number of levelled [[draugr]]s here together with Mercer. A follower may not enter this place though.
=== Snow Veil Catacombs ===
=== Snow Veil Sanctum ===
Further into the ruins there is also a [[word wall]] with one of the words for the [[Disarm]] shout and a copy of [[Ice and Chitin]]. It is also where the Dragonborn finally meets [[Karliah]].
== Quests ==
* [[Speaking with Silence]]
== Items of Note ==
* Just north of the Sanctum: [[Iron Ore Vein]] ×2.
* To the north-north-west of the Catacombs entrance: [[Corundum Ore Vein]].
* During [[Speaking with Silence]]: Just outside of the entrance to the catacombs there is a small camp [[Karliah]] set up with two [[bed roll]]s and her horse (~180 {{gold}} value) that Mercer killed.
* Catacombs: potions ×12 and chests ~510 (at fire pit), ~540 (grate-view room); urn ~150 {{gold}} value ([[L]]67).
