Notes
- There are three hidden doors leading to small rooms in the entrance hall which only become apparent when standing close to them: these conceal some minor loot, enemies and a Love Letter involved in the Correspondence Interruptus quest. For their exact location see the red marker in the page's map.
- As the Dragon Hoard contains a lot of gold, wearing the Dwarven Merchant's Belt may be beneficial.
