Barren Mine

From the OblivioWiki – your guide to everything Oblivion

This mine can be found north of Leyawiin right above the "The" in "The Nibenay," a very short trip west from The Drunken Dragon Inn. This mine only has one floor, and pockets of silver veins outline the entire cave. Because of how small the area is, it is possible that if you are sneaking and get caught further in, expect to get piled on by a ton of angry Goblins. The Shaman can be found at the very end of the cave, carrying the Goblin tribe's totem staff. There is also an Orc captive in a cell next to the shaman's chamber, which can be unlocked with either a lockpick or the shaman's key for some minor loot.
