The Idealist
So sorry it took so long to get this up, but it takes awhile for research! And I hope you enjoy the map!
NOTE : The Map is not completely accurate. I will correct its flaws in the descriptions. Also, on this map, green marks the spot.
Winterhold :
Frozen Mammoth can be found if you start at Aftland and go directly north. It is kind of in between Saarthal and Hob's Fall Cave, but a bit lower. Hob's Fall Cave should be where you see Frostflow Lighthouse on the map above. "What is it", you ask? Well, it's a mammoth frozen into the side of a glacier.
The Dwarven Altar is located in between Wayward Pass and Mount Anthor. It's pretty accurate on the map above. It looks pretty cool, but apparently there isn't much known about it. Be careful because of the Ice Wraiths. 2x Chest, Mine-able quicksilver ore.
Ancient Altar is perched above the Sightless Pit, technically southeast of its location. It isn't far at all from Sightless Pit. The map above is almost precise. This location is what appears to a be an ancient sacrificial altar. Along with the piles of bones are the Skill Book Conjuration : The Doors of Oblivion, and other sacrificial offerings. Note: if you touch anything, it will resurrect the two piles of bones and the skeleton on the altar.
The Trap can be found if you were to start at the College of Winterhold and go directly south. Stop to look for it in between the two giant glaciers and examine along the shore. Again, the map above is accurate. There you will find two brittle skeletons. A triggered bear trap gives you an idea why that was their resting place.
The Avalanched Caravan is an unfortunate natural disaster that happened to a caravan. There is just some loose gear there. On the map above, Mount Anthor should be a little higher. To pinpoint its location, draw an imaginary line in the middle of Mount Anthor stretching east. Do the same for the Shrine of Azura, except stretch it south. At the exact point they meet, that is where it's located.
The Reach : I have found nothing here that catches the eye! Their are some interesting crashed Dwemer ruins, but that's it! Sorry to disappoint.
Whiterun :
Necromancer's Altar is found if you start at Sleeping Tree Camp and start heading directly east. You're going to run into it. It's an ancient altar that rests on top of a rocky buff. It appears that two skeletons have slain their masters. Kill those boneheads and collect some loose gear.
Whiterun's Smuggler Den. Hehe, second one I found. It can be found just North of Whiterun. You can find Skill Book Pickpocket : Aevar Stone-Sing , an adept locked chest, and some potions.
The Eastmarch :
Hunter's Sauna is another one of my great discoveries. You can find it if you start at Eldergleam Sanctuary and barely go southeast. There are some hunters bathing in the natural sauna. They're friendly unless they catch you stealing their stuff. You can steal some loose gear and Skill Book Smithing : Cherim's Heart .
The Mournful Giant is a poor ol' giant waiting around by his dead mammoth. It's northeast of Mistwatch.
Falkreath : Just some crashed caravans and bandit camps here. Nothing really to catch the eye.
The Rift :
Animal's Cage is in the woods east of Fort Greenwall. There is a wolf inside the rusty cage. Open the cage and the trappers attack. Help fend them off with the wolf. If the wolf survives, it flees to a nearby wolf den.
The Chicken Reanimated is found north and slightly east of Ruins of Btlalft. A strange robed man is attempting to reanimate a chicken, and succeeds. As you draw closer, he attacks you. You will find ingredients on him.
The Burning Farmhouse is self explanatory. It is located southeast of Forelhost.
Hope you Enjoyed it guys!! Be looking forward to more of my articles. Special thanks to treasurehunter for copy editing this article. - VolenKiller
