Their weapons, but not their armor, can be looted if your level is 45 or higher. Keepers The keepers are tall, armored foes with black, smoky heads, armed with dragonbone weapons and carrying black soul gems. Their remains also turn to soul embers after dying, and they carry similar minor loot to bonemen. Mistmen Mistmen appear similar to the corrupted shades found in Kilkreath Ruins, and seem to favor magic as their main form of attack, although they will pick up dropped weapons. Their weapons, but not their armor, can be looted along with similar minor loot to bonemen. Their remains also turn to soul embers after dying.

They typically carry ancient Nord weapons, which can be looted along with soul gems, various alchemical ingredients, gems, jewelry, and soul husks. Once defeated, they collapse like normal skeletons, but then their remains become soul embers, which are translucent black puddles similar in shape to a defeated ice wraith's remains. There are also a few unique creatures to be found here: the cursed dragon Durnehviir, three keepers who maintain a barrier around the Boneyard, and the Reaper.īonemen Bonemen look like blue-black skeletons. While traversing the Soul Cairn, you will be attacked by bonemen, wrathmen, and mistmen. When you activate a soul fissure, it will fill the largest soul gem in your inventory, filling black soul gems first. Soul fissures are another common feature of the Soul Cairn they are cracks in the ground with air rising visibly out of them, which causes them to emit a hissing noise. Soul husks are also the only currency used when trading with the spectral merchant, Morven Stroud, for various enchanted items and spell tomes. They can be used to counter the effects of Ideal Master Crystals, the giant floating health-draining gems that may be found at the top of the various structures within the Soul Cairn. Soul husks are the strange clusters of sand-colored and sand-textured cones sticking up from the ground. The flora here is unlike anything you've encountered in Tamriel.

There are many black structures throughout this plane of Oblivion, including many seen beyond the boundary of the area, which is clearly defined as a shimmering blue magical barrier (see bugs).
