The Silver Cormorant is a ship found locked in ice east of Solitude. During the ship's latest voyage, a sudden snowstorm overtook the ship and the sea froze around them unnaturally fast. The crew was left in freezing conditions, dwindling food and something abducting them from the ship at night. On the deck of the ship the book Old Nord Drinking Song can be found near the campfire.
In the surrounding area, several wrecked ships can be found and a hunting camp lies to the east. Zan'ikh resides in a camp east of the wreckage.
One of the instruments needed for An Instrumental Triumph—the Kothringi Leviathan Bugle—can be found at the wrecked ship located to the south.
