I want to say it reminds me of one of the Galdur brother tombs but I'm not sure.

Well, this may get into quest specific information so I think you're okay in this forum.

Sadly, though, I do no know which quest that screen shot is from, nor have I seen that location. But you're right. That is a great picture.

It's "concept art" from prior the game's release. Likely it's not anything in game now, and may never be. There are even dwemer-type elements in that pic....

"Concept Art" is a catchall term for "runaway imagination". The pic you reference is in the "Concept Art" section of the media page. That's stuff that artists "ran" with after seeing some of the early demo stuff. It's not likely to be an ingame pic.

Oh, that one. I apparently misread your post. Sorry. You said the last one in the row.... *shrug* I'm "literal" if nothing else.

I would think it's Wolfskull Cave - except there's no draugr lord there. Hmm. There's another dungeon with that "blue light streak" stuff, and a draugr lord. Let me think about it - I know I did that on my first toon (LONG time back now....) I'll go look through the quests on UESP. Might take me a bit....

I *think* it's one of the named Dragon Priests. Thing is, I just looked over all of the info on UESP for all of them, and none of that seems familiar. IIRC, you have to get through an entire dungeon, then you wind up in an area with a bunch of thralled undead mages. "Disabling"/killing them causes the priest attack - and defeating it gets you the mask, etc.

I just don't know which of them it is now. I've not done that particular dungeon on any but my first toon ages ago. And there's no way really to know which one it is even if I load up the final save (I mean, I already looked at all the info on all the priests on UESP - and I'm still not sure which it is....)

I guess at this point, I'd just pull up the info from UESP on the dragon priests, and start hunting. Sorry I don't have definitive info, and good luck!

I should have said, it's in one of the dungeons with a named Dragon Priest. The pic is NOT a Dragon Priest as there's no mask. But I still have the feeling it's one of the "big guy" dungeons. I'll let it simmer in the back of my mind a while. I will of course post if I actually remember where it is.

That man's about to lose his glass war axe or take a flying lesson, either or. I don't know which place that is either, but I am intrigued.

I'm sure that I've been there before. I could be wrong but the steps at the side look very familiar. Going insane trying to remember which quest it was though. There was a huge bolt of blue lightning whipping around the room that kept reanimating all the draugr until you took down the lord. The entrance is the faint yellow glow coming from the doorway to the left. Will check back through the guide book when I get home from work to see if I can remember.

It's not exactly a ruin. It's the Solitude Catacombs.

There is at least one, patrolling the set of stairs leading to the tower where the ritual is taking place. Depending on your level there might be 1-2 more.

I swear that is the place from the follow up quest you get after you finish the first quest for wolfskull cave.
Spoiler
