Hall of Secrets (Classic Skyrim)

In the Hall of Secrets you can store the things you attain in unlawful ways, such as trophies from the special Thieves Guild jobs and skulls of the people you kill during the Dark Brotherhood questline. The entrance is hidden in the Dragonborn Hall.

There are also two special areas of the secret lair. One beyond the upperleft of the dias is dedicated to werewolves and contains the Werewolf Totem Display. The other, on the far right is dedicated to vampires who sided with the Volkihar Vampire Clan during the Dawnguard questline.

The displays found here are in order as how they are seen from the entrance to the Hall of Secrets, starting from the left.
