Haldriin is a Nord dragon priest who can be found in Skyshroud Barrow, on Bleakrock Isle.

Haldriin's old model

He is encountered during the quest What Waits Beneath, where he asks for your help to stop a necromancer planning to reanimate his corpse. The Dragon Priest will then request that you enter the ruins to defeat the necromancer and sanctify his body.

What Waits BeneathEdit

You will need to summon the dragon priest to figure out how to enter the barrow:

"Maggot. You dare summon me?"
I need your help, spirit. How can I enter the barrow?
"Can you comprehend the power I once had? Why should I help you with anything?"
Someone has desecrated your shrine.
"Yes, I can sense them. Some worm defiled this place.
You are now my will incarnate, mortal. Enter the barrow and kill this worm."
I will. How can I get into the barrow?
"You need to ask? Bah! Once, everyone knew the ritual.
Three runestones unlock the door. They're placed in prominent positions around the shrine. Find them and put them on their pedestals around the door. Then you'll gain entrance. Now go!"

If you found all the runestones and before placing them:

"How many times must I explain this? Place the runestones at the entrance to the barrow. Go!"

He will appear to you again inside the ruin bounded, saying:

"I stand once more at the seat of my power. I am a spectre, a mere shade, forced to watch as a necromancer defiles my body.
Kill him."

When you've done that and sanctified Haldriin's body, he appears once more, and thanks you.

Haldriin: "You have fulfilled your purpose. Well done, worm."
