Here it is... I can't find the door to the Barrow to get the golden claw maguffin. Where is it? I know I'm dumb.

Across the stream from starterville. The trader there has a quest pointing you straight to it.

Take the bridge exit out of Riverwood and follow the path into the mountain. After awhile, you'll cross the snow line and hit an old tower with two or three bandits in it. That's the halfway point. Continue to follow the path until it splits, the right fork will take you further up the mountain to Bleak Fall's Barrow while the left fork will take you back down to a giant's camp, Secunda's Kiss.

 

The snow fall can be so heavy that it's easy to miss that the road has forked. The first time I played, I went right by the barrow and didn't even notice. If you hit the Secunda's Kiss just turn around. It's maybe a minute's walk from there.

Anyone found the Red Eagle's sword? It's a quest you pick up from a book.

Predictably, Barbas the dog went on without me and I've tracked down Haemar's Shame, but is the shrine actually inside the cave or nearby? If inside I'm going to have to come back later, the vampire is too strong.
