Walkthrough

The site is an overgrown stone dome-shaped structure formed by two concentric circles. A spriggan is wandering in the innermost circle. Climbing to the top of the ruin offers an elevated view and easy access to the center and the spriggan. The corpses of two bandits are at the entrance to the outer circle on the southeast side, and two samples of bleeding crown grow in the outer circle. Windows around the perimeter of the inner wall offer a view of the overgrown atrium in the center and an opportunity for a ranged attack on the spriggan. The entry to the inner circle is on the north side of the inner wall. Despite the abundant flora, the only alchemically useful specimens in the inner circle are three purple mountain flower plants and five samples of hanging moss. A chest is directly opposite the inner entrance on the southeast wall, with a copy of the Enchantment skill book Catalogue of Weapon Enchantments propped against the front of the chest.

With the Bittercup Creation installed, an altar will be added with three bowls labeled "Fortune", "Power", and "Nothing". You may choose to fill one of these bowls during the quest A Dying Wish.
