The Shrine of Mehrunes Dagon

The Shrine of Mehrunes Dagon is the shrine to the Daedric Prince Mehrunes Dagon, and is located in the mountains to the south of the Pale. You can find the shrine if you go east from Stonehills until you reach the Hall of the Vigilant. When facing the hall, there is a stone marker leading up a steep hill to the right, just beyond a rocky outcropping.

Two high-ranking Dremora will attack you at the end of the shrine's related quest. A key can be looted from either of the bodies, which opens the door to Dagon's shrine. Two more lower-ranked Dremora are inside. There is a very large amount of loot in this room, including many gold and ebony ingots. In order to get the Dremora to appear, you must complete the museum quest in Dawnstar. The Dremora here (and all the loot) will periodically respawn every ten in-game days.

The Shrine of Mehrunes Dagon also becomes useful when you want to start smithing Daedric armor and weapons. After killing the Dremora, you can loot their hearts.

Notes

• One moonstone ore vein is located 130 feet west-northwest of the shrine.
• On the opposite side of the peak the statue of Dagon is carved into is a stash of items, including a randomly enchanted helm and axe, along with numerous potions and gemstones. It is to the right of a stone cairn and beneath a stylized dragon glyph.
• A copy of the Enchanting skill book Catalogue of Armor Enchantments can be found on a table to the right of the main chest.

Bugs

• The Dremora may not respawn at the shrine, even after waiting 30 in-game days. However, leveled loot will continue to respawn inside. ^?
