Falling Tree

One day after completing the main story and hundreds apon hundreds of side quests,my friend came in as I was randomly hitting the Glinder Green Tree in WhiteRun with The Rueful Axe and after about 300 hits it fell over and crushed a nearby pedestrian and what was left on the trunk was a deadric sword with an unknown enchantment that turns dogs into friendly were wolves and wolves into hostile ones.— Unsigned comment by Snowflake21 (talk • contribs) on 30 March 2012

There is nothing in the game that would even remotely come close to doing that. It must have been added by a mod. – Robin Hood↝talk 19:04, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Valdr and Lawrence Watt-Evans

In Falkreath, I can't remember which cave, but there is a quest to help a hunter named Valdr. After you help him you get a dagger called Valdr's Lucky Dagger, which adds a 25% chance for a critical hit. This may be a reference to Lawrence Watt-Evans first book in the Ethshar novels "The Misenchanted Sword", wherein the main character, Valder, gets an enchanted sword from a wizard which will always kill his opponent, and will never let him die. — Unsigned comment by 74.198.9.208 (talk) at 20:51 on 3 April 2012

Reading the first chapter here[1], he is also being chased by three humanoid creature i.e. spriggans, but still seems a stretch to me. The Silencer has spoken 21:33, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Spriggans do actually appear in the series, but not until much later. Also they resemble small frog like creatures and are a nuisance in the wizarding world. — Unsigned comment by 74.198.9.239 (talk) on 3 April 2012

Spriggans also appeared in earlier TES games. I think the connection is a bit too shaky. ThuumofReason 18:43, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

One last thing, if there is anyone or thing called Ari or Niels, invovled in the books, tem I'm convinced. But if there are no other similarities then it still seems a stretch. The Silencer has spoken 18:46, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Slight (ec) there, the spriggans are guaranteed as the enemy creatures in the cave, which is rare in skyrim as most are leveled and random. The Silencer has spoken 18:50, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

The connection that I'm trying to establish only involves the weapon. A weapon which increases your chances of a critical hit. In addition, later on in the story, Valder has the sword shrunk down to dagger size, and then further still to broach size. Also the creatures chasing Vlader in the story are not spriggans. Two are enemy soldiers from the north, and one is possibly a half demon. Closer to a Dremora. — Unsigned comment by 74.198.9.229 (talk)

(←) If its only the dagger then not, there is another dagger in the game that gives one hit kills occassionaly, and there neeed to be more than two similarities to qualify. The Silencer has spoken 19:17, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

More than two passing similarities, no less. Just a name and a weapon is hardly enough to go on. ThuumofReason 19:29, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

I feel like this connection is much less tenuous than the connection between The Leap of Faith in Assassin's Creed and Bard's Leap in Skyrim that's already on the main page. The only connection I can see there is jumping off high things. Maybe it's really connected to base jumping, or to cliff diving. In this suggestion, the name's practically the same, and it involves a magic, bladed weapon, which makes it easier to kill people. That sounds like more than coincidence to me. Obax 16:50, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

I didn't really agree with that one, personally, but the rest of the community did, so there wasn't much I could do about it. Anyway, the discussion entailed the suggester providing additional evidence, which was deemed sufficient to suggest a connection by other users. But I digress. The problem with this suggestion is that the similarities are too vague to establish a definitive connection between the two. Based on those similarities, I could say that it was referencing any number of things. That's usually how we can tell it doesn't belong on the page; as a general rule, there has to be enough evidence to show that the reference was intentional, and that it could only be referring to one thing in particular. ThuumofReason 16:32, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Interesting about the Leap of Faith thing. Is it still possible to view the discussion that took place, just for curiosity's sake? I'm fairly new to this wiki thing, and would be interested to see how the process works behind the scenes.

I still don't see how the connection between Valdr in Skyrim and the events of the book are vague, nor how it could be referring to 'any number of things'. I guess I would ask, what other things might it be referring to, if not this book? (I do acknowledge that it might not be referring to anything, that it's just coincidence that the name is almost the same and the weapon is similar, but I have a hard time buying that.) I'm mostly just playing devil's advocate here, and as I said, being new to this, I'm still trying to get a hold of how the process works for this sort of thing. Obax 15:16, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

I too think that this is more than a mere coincidence. Almost identical names, almost identical weapons, almost identical place. Bard's Leap being related to Assassin's Creed is much shakier than this one, which shares more than just a passing similarity. • JA^Talk 15:22, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

(←) The discussion can be viewed in the archives. Either way, I still don't think this belongs on the page. As Silencer said, there are other enchanted daggers in the game, so a guy with a similar name using an enchanted weapon is something that could very well happen anyway. If there are indeed characters named Ari or Niels in this book series of yours, then THAT would establish a stronger connection. But as is, there just isn't enough to say without a doubt that it's an intentional reference to this one thing, which is what inclusion generally entails. ThuumofReason 15:33, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

The Bards Leap Discussion is here, if you disagree with it being included then start a new section for it. The Silencer has spoken^Talk 15:37, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for that link. I'm not saying that the Leap of Faith reference shouldn't be included. I might disagree, but the community says it's an Easter Egg, and so shall it be. I'm mostly just trying to suss out what quality of proof is generally accepted, and my point about the Leap of Faith versus the Valdr/book thing is, if that's the level of proof being accepted for other Eggs, then I feel this Egg should be accepted too, as, in my opinion, the connection is stronger than the other (the more I read, the more I feel like the threshold between 'Egg' and 'not Egg' is somewhat inconsistent, which I think is unavoidable in this case). That being said, no one can ever have 100% proof that something was an intentional reference to something else, short of asking the person who put it in the game in the first place. And, being new here, and also woefully unknowledgeable about pop culture things, I'm more or less willing to go along with the community in the end. Obax 16:18, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Checking out some summaries of the book and related characters along with checking out the quest, I see absolutely nothing else similar. But I haven't done the quest or read the book, so I can't say for certain. Vely^{►Talk►Email} 22:32, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

A summary
*The same; Spriggans, he is being chased by three foes. Spriggans predate both the game and books.
*Similar; The name Valdr/Valder, the sword/dagger. Valdr Galga is one of Odin's names. The sword always kills, the dagger improves chances of critical hits.
I see nothing conclusive between the book and game to say that this is an egg. The Silencer has spoken^Talk 23:19, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

This may be a coincidence, but in a seperate series by the same author, the main characters name is Ari — Unsigned comment by 76.64.46.22 (talk) at 23:47 on 18 May 2012

Game of Thrones

Horik Half-Hand is an easter egg, his name is very similar to a Game of Thrones character named Qhorin Half-Hand who also happens to live in the north. Heres a link to the ASOIAF wiki on Qhorin http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Qhorin_Halfhand — Unsigned comment by 96.54.178.102 (talk) on 8 April 2012

An easter egg consists of more than half a name. The Silencer has spoken 23:25, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

I'm going to doubt it. There's not much to support the theory, and "halfhand" is rather ambiguous and non-specific. There's another Halfhand in Bloodmoon, too. Plus, a Halfhand exists in much older novels. Not a strong connection. Vely^{►Talk►Email} 23:31, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Dispute. ThuumofReason 14:31, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

How about the fact that since this Qhorin lives in the north, as does Horik, a resident of Dawnstar. Winterhold and Winterfell, both lead by a Jarl/Lord (respectively) ignored by the rest of the kingdom. (Also, same climate) — Unsigned comment by DarxMatter (talk • contribs) at 02:37 on 31 May 2012

IMHO, it's a coincidence. Kitkat ^{•Talk•Contrib•E-mail} 09:56, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Vilkas and Farkas

I have seen this written on Vilkas' article, but it was strictly not allowed on Farkas' article. Vilkas and Farkas both translate to wolf in different languages (Lithuanian and Hungarian respectively). I wondered if this was maybe an Easter Egg, and if so, could it be mentioned on this article? - DoL 16:47, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

An Easter Egg refers to something in popular culture. This note is an etymology, which isn't really wanted on pages. Kitkat ^{•Talk•Contrib•E-mail} 16:52, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

There's a ton of NPCs with names translated from other languages. If we noted them, we'd have to note a lot more. I personally don't think it's worth it. There is a sort of unwritten guideline to not add real-world etymology to pages, it was discussed a bit on the Community Portal a while ago.

I'm pretty sure Eggs don't necessarily have to be popular culture--there was a named plant in MW, I remember. Charlie or something. Not a reference, just a nice thing to see. Names could be Eggs, but there's so many of them. Vely^{►Talk►Email} 16:56, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

No, they're not Easter Eggs, they're etymologies. There's a massive difference. Easter Eggs reference something (ie; a movie, a book) - etymologies are like translations. Kitkat ^{•Talk•Contrib•E-mail} 17:02, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

And here's the plant you were talking about - it's certainly a reference to something. Kitkat ^{•Talk•Contrib•E-mail} 17:08, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

(←) Thought it wasn't, huh. The muffin isn't a reference, though, and neither is the Mudcrab Merchant. Vely^{►Talk►Email} 17:37, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

I'd say neither of those are Etymologies which was the case in question, and I have to agree with Kitkat - Etymologies are most definitely not Easter eggs. Etymologies, where (at one point) wiped from the site because (as a general statement) to quote Krusty - "You must remember that anything means something somewhere!" Etymologies are so common and pointless and very opinionated. I mean, just take a look <link to deleted page removed> for some wonderful examples! And thats a cut down list at that! I'll remove Vilkas etymology in a moment. EDIT: Thought it was still there, Kitkat must be a ninja! --kiz ^talk_email 17:44, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Augur of Dunlain

I believe this character is heavily based on another fictional character, Lazlo Hollyfeld, from the 1985 film "Real Genius", which starred Val Kilmer.

The film primarily takes place in an ultra exclusive fictional engineering college in california. In the steam tunnels below the college lives Lazlo, a highly reclusive and and slightly insane, but incredibly intelligent former student. During a conversation in the film Val Kilmer's character explains to the protagonist that Lazlo, a decade earlier, was the most brilliant and gifted student the college ever had, possibly the most intelligent person in the world, and was beyond fanatical about his work. One day someone had told the pacifistic Lazlo that some experiment he was working on was killing people, and he snapped mentally. He suspended his work on that project and vanished from the campus, disappearing down into the heating tunnels below the college basement. His continued presence there was only known to a small handful of people many years later, during the events of the movie. In the movie the protagonist (out of curiosity) follows Lazlo down into his lair, after figuring out his route during one of Lazlo's brief excursions to collect food, and discovers he has created a secret laboratory down there, where he continues his experiments in total privacy. Lazlo also spends his time working on plans to win major sweepstakes by sheer mathematical odds. Lazlo eventually emerges from his hideout to help the protagonist avoid the same fate, after the military steals the protagonist's laser engineering work, intending to use it for orbital assassinations from a spacecraft.

The Augur of Dunlain's presence in the bowels of Winterhold College, and the circumstances of his transformation, which is presently known only to a few senior members of the college, correlates closely to the movie I think. As Lazlo does in the film, the Augur reluctantly comes to aid of the Dragonborn in their quest, to prevent the misuse of a source of extreme power. The Eye of Magnus correlates well with the high powered orbital laser from the film.

I'm not so sure, this scenario isn't exactly uncommon in works of fiction. A top-student-turned-mad-scientist living underground does appear in both of these, true, but beyond that I see little to suggest an intentional connection. ThuumofReason 16:59, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Lord Of the Rings

While talking to hadvar after completing 'The Battle for Whiterun (imperial)' had says 'I'm sure I killed more than you, I was counting' which is a common competition between Gimli and Legolas in the Lord of the Rings, particularly The battle fr Helms Deep and The battle for Minas Tirith. — Unsigned comment by 95.145.135.135 (talk) at 19:08 on 15 April 2012 (UTC)

If you join the Stormcloaks then Ralof says it. Its what I kept thinking of when doing the quest, however this was removed from the egg page. — Kimi the Elf ^{(talk | contribs)} 19:19, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

They don't say the same thing in LOTR, it's tenuous because it only references the competition, not anything said or done like "That still only counts as one." One of the best lines from the books/films. The Silencer has spoken^Talk 19:38, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

As Kimi stated, this has already been discussed. Please read the notice at the top of the page. ThuumofReason 14:50, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Alien

In Soputhfringe Sanctum, cave at Southern Border of Skyrim, there is the necromancer Selveni Nethri hung up in spider webs at a wall, surrounded by spider eggs. Thus, she searches for her daughter. I believe this is a refference to Alien II and Alien III where Alan Ripley searches for little Newt (I believe these were the names). 78.42.235.106 21:40, 23 April 2012 (UTC)Eridea

Or, she could have been trapped by the giant spiders who made the webs. There's no way that's a reference, the connection is too shaky. ThuumofReason 14:48, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Volsung

I don't have much evidence to support this as an easter egg, but I was reading a book on Norse mythology mentioning Volsung, whose son became a dragon slayer. This man has a namesake in skyrim, a dragon priest. — Unsigned comment by 210.49.195.127 (talk) at 20:55 on 24 April 2012

Souless Fisherman

The death chained fisherman at the entrance of Ilinalta's Deep in The Black Star quest may be a reference to "The fisherman and his soul" of Oscar Wilde

How so? What similarities are there between the two? ThuumofReason 16:24, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Azura's Name Idea

According to the first mantra of Hari Krishna teachings, written in the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit, Asura means "Demon" or a being not cognizant to the responsibilities that affect humans as an advanced form of life. The contrary to this term is simply "Sura" or "godly person".

Rather fitting for a Deadric lord albeit not necessarily for the entity represented by Azura as she seems to be regarded as one of the more humane and merciful deadra gods.

Not sure this could be regarded as an easter egg to just a specific game, just an addition to the Lore articles regarding Azura in a wider view of the game series as a whole.

What do you guys think?

95.149.149.69 22:36, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Currently we're adding obvious etymologies to NPC pages, and I think that would be appropriate to place under a Notes section on her Lore page, as that one does sound obvious. Vely^{►Talk►Email} 22:43, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

The Daedric Princes have existed in every game, so Skyrim is not the first game to show it, which is why it shouldn't be here. And, Azura is one of the most, actually arguably the most, caring towards her mortal subjects. Saying her name's origin is a word meaning "Demon" would be like saying the sky is green. ES^{Question?•Email•Contribs} 23:18, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Her followers acknowledge that she is "cruel but wise" and the sky turns green before a tornado. :p The Silencer has spoken^Talk 23:23, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Why did you post on this page if you know it should be on the lore talk page? ThuumofReason 15:46, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

I guess the unregistered user did so because he/she was advised to do so elsewhere on another Skyrim related talk page. I do not remember exactly where I saw it, but I did short before it appeared here. To be clear, I am in favour of keeping order on the Wiki, but talk pages is the arena for discussion, and there might not be easy to find the way around here when new, so let us not be to strict.

Stargate SG-1

To the left of the Mzulft entrance there is an arch with a broken lamp. This is possibly a nod to Lost City Part 1 where they find the second Ancient repository of knownledge and Jack O'Neill pushes Daniel Jackson out of the way in order to look into the device to accept the download. If you stand in front of the left column & put the crosshair on the lamp it lines up with the shot in the episode as shown on Gateworld http://gateworld.net/sg1/s7/721.shtml — Unsigned comment by AnnoyeDroid (talk • contribs) on 1 May 2012

Varden fell blade master in white run

In morrowind your blade master is caius cosades, and the white run leader of the guard is named caius. He eventually leaves morrowind to "Deal with something up north". Could this be an easter egg? — Unsigned comment by 24.211.241.119 (talk) at 04:19 on 20 May 2012

This might be more appropriate at the talk page for this article, if it's not mentioned there already. ABCface^◥ 04:22, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

The Blades master was recalled to the Imperial City, so he would not have been in Cyrodiil. I don't think it is worth mention, even on the Historical references page, because Caius is just one of those generic names that was just name generated into the games, IMO. There is no way every game with a "Caius" could be a reference to Morrowind. Snowmane^{(talk•email)} 04:34, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Agreed. Plus, Skyrim is west of Morrowind, not north. ThuumofReason 11:42, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Not to mention the events in Morrowind took place 207 years before the events in Skyrim--SPMcKinney 20:41, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Katatonia

The article refers to Katatonia as a "death metal" band, but they haven't been a death metal band since their second album Brave Murder Day. Their modern albums, according to Wikipedia (whom I don't agree with on this, but even their classification is better than "death metal"), are doom metal/alternative metal, and both of the albums referenced in Skyrim are in this latter era (see the genre field for Viva Emptiness and Night Is the New Day), so could someone give someone else the green light to edit this? I'd do it myself, but as I've learned, wikis generally do not take kindly to people removing or changing information with no justification. 166.249.206.147 02:46, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

I would suggest removing any musical genre classification altogether. That is the kind of subjective labeling that can easily descend into ridiculous amounts of arguing. Just my opinion based on experience. --Xyzzy 02:55, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

There is no problem with editing on this wiki, just this page. It's locked due to heavy vandalism. Anyway I updated to death/doom metal, the description on the wikipedia page. Every egg is basically subjective if Bethesda people haven't said it is. The Silencer has spoken^Talk 02:58, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

I thought you meant the whole thing, not the band genre. Fair enough as they could decide to make a country and western album next, so it is purely subjective. The Silencer has spoken^Talk 00:28, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Ghost Adventurer

Could the name of those random ghosts have anything at all to do with the hit tv series Ghost Adventures? The Crispy Cheetah 00:23, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

What random ghosts. The Silencer has spoken^Talk 00:28, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Every now and then you run across a ghost with the name Ghost Adventurer, although if you only see them when you're higher in level, I never did pay attention to that... The Crispy Cheetah 00:42, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

I thought you meant they had actual names. Anyway, there needs to be more than a similar name to be considered an egg. At this point it looks like pure coincidence as there are normal "adventurers" in Skyrim. The Silencer has spoken^Talk 00:52, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

UPDATE: Never mind! I found only one NPC with that title. Probably just a World Encounter.

You have a point there... thanks, though! I'll look more into it next time... it's intriguing! The Crispy Cheetah 00:58, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Ciceros origin

Cicero might be related to the character Giacomo in the film The Court Jester (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Court_Jester); Giacomo was supposed to be the 'King of Jesters and Jester of Kings'", but was indeed also an famous assassin, hired by Lord Ravenhurst to kill his opponens. — Unsigned comment by 131.246.58.6 (talk) at 14:02 on 25 May 2012

If both of the jesters' were called "Cicero", I'd certainly believe it, but right now, I don't see it - the connections are slight at best. I mean, "The Joker" from "Batman" has a jester persona, and he kills people, but I wouldn't claim that Cicero is a reference to him. Kitkat ^{•Talk•Contrib•E-mail} 14:13, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Might be, but "Giacomo" sounds more like "Cicero" than "The Joker". Beside, his costume looks more like that of the film (which could realy be coincidence, sure). — Unsigned comment by 131.246.58.6 (talk) at 14:18 on 25 May 2012

Jack The Ripper

I'm not sure if anyone has already found this yet. In Windhelm, theres a guy called 'Captain Lonely-Gale', there's an option 'Folk are talking about murders' which you can choose. He mentions that 'He's claimed three victims..' and 'All lovely young ladies to..'. This could be a Reference to the famous english murder, Jack The Ripper. — Unsigned comment by 121.214.204.210 (talk) at 05:21 on 27 May 2012

This is referencing the quest Blood on the Ice, in case you're wondering. As to it being an easter egg... I don't think so. A serial killer that's killed at least three women? That sounds like just about every serial killer, ever. I do see the possible connection, but it's too vague to definitively say that the killer is a reference to Jack the Ripper. • JA^Talk 05:32, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

300 Spartans Easter Egg

If you have seen the movie "300", you might remember that near the beginning, King Leonidas slays a wolf (however it is very large) by wedging it between a rock and stabbing it with a spear. Now, if you go to the Shrine of Pyrite, walk on the cliff edge below (right side, then between the two trees, and make a slight right turn) you will find a gap between rocks with a sabre cat that is dead, along with a skeleton (as if Leonidas had died.) He doesn't in the movie at this time, however. — Unsigned comment by 108.132.180.104 (talk) at 19:18 on 29 May 2012

Sounds like a different interpretation of a known easter egg for William Shakespeare. --Xyzzy 03:31, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps the sabre fell down and hid a second skeleton? Vely^{►Talk►Email} 03:34, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

RoosterTeeth has a video on it (Youtube). There was a sabre cat and one body, and I saw it myself. There was scripted blood under the sabre cat as well. I have seen the R&J egg, but it's completely different!There is an axe under it though. But still, it isn't random, so it is an egg. Right? — Unsigned comment by DarxMatter (talk • contribs) at 21:00 on May 30, 2012

Non-random things are not always eggs; they need to be specific references. If the reference is not random, then yes, it is an egg, but only if it's a reference to begin with.

I haven't seen 300, so I couldn't say. Vely^{►Talk►Email} 01:10, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

(←) RoosterTeeth is rarely wrong (but eggs are speculation). It's a movie I wish I had never seen, but I watched the video and the wolf scene just now and the similarities are good. A speared large animal in a tight opening, with the skeleton placed where it is. The set-up of the animal, spears, and skeleton do suggest it can only be an egg, and it is above where R&J are (seperate location). The Silencer has spoken^Talk 01:23, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

So it is and egg then? DarxMatter 02:04, 31 May 2012 (UTC)DarxMatter

I watched the video, then went to the location in my game. The sabrecat body was gone, but everything else is there. I don't think it's a 300 reference, or else they would have placed a dead wolf there instead of a 'cat. Also, I don't think the idea of using a narrow space to trap a dangerous predator is unique to this movie. This may be a reference to something else. The 'cat also had several arrows sticking out of it, with a bow lying nearby. --Xyzzy 04:13, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

General Tullius: Ancient Roman Orator?

Not sure if this an easter egg, but for sure a historical reference. http://imgur.com/Lnq0h The right is a statue of Marcus Tulius Cicero, or simply known as "Cicero" who plotted in Caesar's death, right? So Cicero gets the name and Tullius gets the face? DarxMatter 02:19, 31 May 2012 (UTC) DarxMatter

Star Wars

This is rather a conversation egg, not a visual one, when the Dragonborn is meeting a mysterious character during the main quest line you’re given the option to say, “I was expecting someone taller”, like when Luke and Leia meet on the Death Star. — Unsigned comment by DarxMatter (talk • contribs) at 22:26 on May 30, 2012

It's not in those archives. Either way, the actual SW quote is "Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper?" and is only vaguely close in meaning. It's actually closer to what Senator Vreenak says to Sisko: "Somehow I thought you'd be taller." which is still way off for being an easter egg. NFITC1 20:47, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Actually, yes, it is in those archives. Kitkat ^{•Talk•Contrib•E-mail} 21:15, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

I missed the e on the end of reference, oops. Fixed the first link now. Vely^{►Talk►Email} 21:19, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

At the Whiterun guard CP, to the left at the main gate, if you proceed up the path to the 2nd level of Whiterun, look at the CP (To your left now) On a wooden post is the symbol of the Deathly Hallows, like such http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&hl=en&sa=N&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&rlz=1I7SKPB_en&biw=1080&bih=535&tbm=isch&tbnid=7fui-yEbIDpPIM:&imgrefurl=http://pixelsandpapers.wordpress.com/2011/07/15/harry-potter-and-the-deathly-hallows-part-ii/&docid=YEt3XwAJcFVmSM&imgurl=http://pixelsandpapers.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/690px-sign_of_the_deathly_hallows-svg.png&w=690&h=599&ei=iNfGT5G0Foio8QSOgcm2Cw&zoom=1 but upside down! There is another location for this symbol, too. But I forgot it. — Unsigned comment by DarxMatter (talk • contribs) at 22:30 on May 30, 2012
