Creep Cluster

A volcanic root from Eastmarch's hot springs – Restore Magicka and Fortify Carry Weight.

Creep Cluster is a gnarled root that thrives in the steaming volcanic tundra south of Windhelm. It’s worth only a single gold coin, yet Fortify Carry Weight alone makes it worth picking for any hoarder who’s ever been stuck over-encumbered next to a pile of loot.
