== Walkthrough ==
=== Exterior ===
Two sets of skeletal remains and blood splashed cairns lead up to the gorge's mountain entrance. A single, leveled [[Skyrim:Necromancer|necromancer]] is found standing beside the entrance and will try to bar your entry. They can be very hard to spot from any distance as they blend in very well.
==Sunderstone Gorge==
Once inside the path leads downward to the first of many [[Skyrim:Pressure Plate|pressure plates]] that triggers a [[Skyrim:Falling Boulders|falling boulders]] trap. It is best to avoid this trap as setting it off carries you, along with the boulders, down to a necromancer sitting by a fire. There are three pieces of firewood beside the fire. By avoiding the trap, you have the elevated advantage for a ranged attack on the mage. At the bottom of the path the gorge turns eastward into a narrow passage. The passage opens up into a space with a second pressure plate that triggers a [[Skyrim:Traps#Skull Ram|swinging mammoth skull]] trap. The plate is easy to bypass, or you can activate the plate, triggering the ram, and quickly jump backward into the safety of the narrow passage. A random [[Skyrim:Potion of Minor Healing|potion of healing]] and large [[Skyrim:Coin Purse|coin purse]] can be found on a small ledge just behind the mammoth skull, on the east wall. A narrow passage continues southward, take care as there are some [[Skyrim:Bone Chimes|bone chimes]] found along this next section, designed to alert the [[Skyrim:Skeleton|skeleton]] in the next passage and a [[Skyrim:Skeever|skeever]] found in a side passage further along. Before entering, note the pressure plate, which triggers a [[Skyrim:Flame Spout Trap|flame spout trap]] and a large [[Skyrim:Oil Slick|oil slick]] on the ground. Stepping on the pressure plate will ignite the oil, and while spectacular, can cause injury. Either ignore the oil completely or safely ignite the slick from your position in the passage. This will clear the low level enemies within. Look for a [[Skyrim:Silver Ore Vein|silver ore vein]] straight ahead on the east wall. The path continues northward.
There is a side passage on the right-hand side, with a ledge above. This is a shortcut exit used later. Here you will find an [[Skyrim:Urn|urn]], and three additional silver ore veins, one on the right and two on the left walls. The main path continues north and has many [[Skyrim:Hanging Moss|hanging moss]] growing down the walls. Note where the oil slick on the floor begins again and [[Skyrim:Oil Lanterns|oil lanterns]] hanging from above. A necromancer, a skeleton, and two [[Skyrim:Fire Mage|fire mages]] await on the raised platform and in the clearing ahead. You can use the oil and lanterns for a preemptive strike; however, this alerts all enemies to your presence and location. A pressure plate triggering a [[Skyrim:Spike Wall|spike wall]] is at the mouth of the clearing, just below the raised platform. Avoid it, or make use of it during battle. Opposite this, against the wall is an open crate containing a sheaf of [[Skyrim:Wheat|wheat]] and a potato. When the area is clear, a small room to the right contains an adept-locked chest. There is nothing of note in the area behind the spike wall, so continue up the two ramps to a landing. On the landing look directly ahead, to the south, for a bucket on the ground. Behind the bucket, tucked into a niche, is an apprentice-locked chest. Follow the bridge across the room, heading east to an intersection. Take the walkway to the left to the door to the next room.
The doors open to the living quarters where a fire mage and a leveled [[Skyrim:Conjurer|conjurer]] are waiting. Another oil slick is on the floor if you wish to make use of it. A [[Skyrim:Spellcaster Trap|spellcaster trap]] shooting flames is immediately to the right as the room opens up. Dodge the flames and remove the [[Skyrim:Soul Gems|soul gem]] to disable the trap. Three [[Skyrim:Spider Egg|spider eggs]] are found in a broken urn to the left of the first pillar, with an [[Skyrim:Orange Dartwing|orange dartwing]] in a second broken urn along with a large stone pot against the same wall. On the right side of the room, just past the soul gem trap, a wooden door opens to a storage room. Opening the door will trigger a [[Skyrim:Dart Trap|poison dart trap]]. The darts are easy to avoid by standing to the far left of the door and then opening it. Inside is a shelf with a random [[Skyrim:Soul Gems|soul gem]], an [[Skyrim:Apothecary's Satchel|apothecary's satchel]] and a chest. Next to the storage room is an [[Skyrim:Alchemy Lab|alchemy lab]]. A number of ingredients and a potion are on the table with the lab, but may have been flung about in the skirmish. On the table, or around it on the floor, find a potion, three bunches of [[Skyrim:Juniper Berries|juniper berries]], a bowl of [[Skyrim:Fire Salts|fire salts]], a piece of [[Skyrim:Canis Root|canis root]] and a bowl of [[Skyrim:Moon Sugar|moon sugar]]. Further in the room are three holding cells containing nothing of interest. Across from the cells, the room opens up into the living quarters. On the dresser by the two beds find some loose septims and a [[Skyrim:Deathbell|deathbell]] flower. A [[Skyrim:Cooking Spit|cooking spit]] and a shelf with a mage's robe are against the wall. In the alcove at the far end of the room, nestled in the rubble is a master-locked chest. To the left is a plinth with a random helmet and to the right is the narrow trail leading onward.
The trail takes you to an iron door that opens to a large room with two fire mages on the dais. A [[Skyrim:Flame Atronach|flame atronach]] will join in the fray when you enter the room. Battle your way up the stairs to the [[Skyrim:Word Wall|word wall]] with a part of the [[Skyrim:Fire Breath|Fire Breath]] shout. In front of the wall is a bier with the body of a [[Skyrim:Wood Elf (dead)|Wood Elf]], a [[Skyrim:Redguard (dead)|Redguard]], and an [[Skyrim:Unusual Gem|unusual gem]]. To the right is the boss chest, an [[Skyrim:Arcane Enchanter|arcane enchanter]], an urn, and two small [[Skyrim:Burial Urn|burial urns]]. In the center of the platform a copy of the [[Skyrim:Conjuration|Conjuration]] [[Skyrim:Skill Books|skill book]] ''[[Skyrim:2920, Frostfall, v10|2920, Frostfall, v10]]'' is on a plinth with a random soul gem on stands, on either side. A bowl of fire salts and a random potion are on the embalming table on the way out. Activate the chain to the left of the portcullis to access the next room. The small work area is lined with shelves. The first shelf to the left is a holds a bowl of [[Skyrim:Vampire Dust|vampire dust]] and an amethyst. The next shelf holds a [[Skyrim:Scroll of Fireball|scroll of fireball]], a [[Skyrim:Scroll of Conjure Familiar|scroll of conjure familiar]], and a [[Skyrim:Scroll of Cure Wounds|scroll of cure wounds]], along with a garnet. On the other side of the room is an alchemy lab, with a potion, a bowl of fire salts, a sample of [[Skyrim:Creep Cluster|creep cluster]], and a piece of canis root. Next is an urn and then a set of shelves with a cast iron pot. Looking inside the pot you will find a sample of [[Skyrim:Giant Lichen|giant lichen]] and a [[Skyrim:Human Heart|human heart]]. The pull chain to exit is next to the urn. The path out takes you to the short side passage you visited previously, only now you are on the stone wall looking down. Jump down and backtrack to exit the gorge.
== Notes ==
* In addition to the frequent patches of oil throughout the dungeon, there is a circle of oil before the stairs leading up into the room with the final chest. As soon as you get close to it, a [[Skyrim:Flame Atronach|flame atronach]] will be summoned through a portal.
