Interior of the Hall of the Dead

Upon entering the Hall of the Dead from Riften, to your right is a small nook with a coffin that contains minor loot, while to your left is a door leading up to the Temple of Mara. If you came in through the temple, then to your right is the door to Riften.

In the central room is a dead Nord on a table. This is where you will most likely find Alessandra, who tends to the dead. In one corner of the room is a Shrine of Arkay, which bestows the Blessing of Arkay for eight hours when used, surrounded by three loose gold coins, two blue mountain flowers, and two purple mountain flowers. Branching out from the central room are corridors that lead to a few coffins with minor loot and the urns of any NPCs that have died recently. The urns contain the dead NPCs' belongings. Otherwise, the Riften Hall of the Dead is relatively empty.

Notes

There is a small, square inaccessible area in the Hall immediately to the left (north) of the entrance from Riften, which can be seen on the local map. PC users can enter this area by using the console to toggle collision, but the area is empty.
