35. SHRINE TO MEHRUNES DAGON

Location type: altar; dungeon

Accessibility: always

Comments: I recommend visiting the shrine while completing Pieces of the Past daedric quest, because only then you'll have a chance to acquire a key needed to unlock the door leading to the temple's treasury.

36. STONEHILL BLUFF

Location type: campsite

Accessibility: always

Comments: I strongly recommend that you hold off with exploring this campsite, because you will encounter a giant here. It's best to visit this location while completing Repairing the Phial side quest.

37. TOWER OF MZARK

Location type: ruins

Accessibility: You can't visit the embassy until you've started Elder Knowledge main quest and found an alternative path leading to it.

Comments: Accessing the tower from the surface is not possible the first time you arrive in this location. The only method to get to it is to start the main quest Elder Knowledge and to travel through Alftand ruins (sector 2, number 19). You will eventually have to enter an underground cavern called the Blackreach and get to the tower from there. Unlocking an elevator found inside the Mazrk tower will result in making it a fully accessible area. This means you won't have to go through the dwarven ruins in the future, because you'll be allowed to use a small entrance found on the surface (screen above).

Comments: The shipwreck is being occupied by enemy units and it's best to explore it while completing Lights Out! side quest.
