The display looks like it would be anySkyrimalchemist’s dream setup, showing a shelf full of dusty bottles filled with strange substances and labeled with the names of in-game ingredients like Moon Sugar and Frost Salts. In the center of this magical collection players can spot a detailed recreation of the mask of Krosis, one ofThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim’s dragon priests.
