Quick Walkthrough

Travel to Gurmshal by two farm houses in the North of Skyrim. Navigate the dungeon until you reach the severed head of Ekil.

He will ask three riddles.

First riddle

Enthorned upon a mighty seat

Proud astrid the finest furs

With gimlet eye he does survey

Those who kneel before him

I speak not of some bodily whole

But solely that wich rests of high

One chance in two to gaze upon

Wherenever good folk cast their gold

1) A king's head 2) A mill 3) A ram from Atmora

Incredible riddle:

4) Talos
