The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Where do I need to go first?
1 of 6: The first part of the clue mentions a haunted northern coastline.
2 of 6: That's probably referring to the so-called Sea of Ghosts, which is just north of Skyrim.
3 of 6: The next two parts of the clue describe a "simple place," to the south of which is a place where "dwemer live and toil."
4 of 6: There are two dwemer ruins that are fairly near the Sea of Ghosts' southern coast: Alftand and Mzinchaleft.
5 of 6: There isn't anything between the coast and Alftand that really fits the "simple place" description, so look around near Mzinchaleft. (If you haven't discovered it yet, it's a ways SW of Dawnstar, almost directly south of the Wreck of the Brinehammer.)
6 of 6: Almost directly between Mzinchaleft and Dawnstar is the Windward Ruins location. It fits the description fairly well, so go there.
