--[ Challenge Description ]--
-- text --
One time I tried to take a screenshot of my Skyrim character next to my favorite NPC (who doesn’t love goth girls). I decided to AFK for a second to heat up some soup. Unfortunately, there were some unexpected enemies up here, and I died. My last save was like 4 hours before this picture was taken, and I never remembered where I captured this beautiful sight. Can you help me find the name of the location where this picture was taken in Skyrim?
Flag format: `byuctf{Shrine_of_Stendarr}`
This is a real, named location in Skyrim. You do not need to own or play the game to solve this challenge, though it could be helpful.

--[ Recon / Initial Analysis ]--
This page imports the BYUCTF 2025 source material for the OSINT challenge
Skywim. The prompt is kept separate from the solve notes, and upstream artifacts
are linked so the challenge can be replayed from the original repository.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
--[ Vulnerability / Observation ]--
The useful observation comes from the imported solve notes below. I kept the
original technical path intact while normalizing the page metadata, challenge
grouping, and author attribution for the Volume 2 writeup archive.

1. On the left side of the image you can see a boat in the water, with some kind
of large arch behind it. If you look at a few pictures of skyrim locations, you
will learn that is the city of Solitude.
2. Looking in front of the boat, we see a single bridge. Also, the picture is
taken on some sort of hill or something.
3. Going to an interactive Skyrim map like
(https://mapgenie.io/skyrim/maps/skyrim), we can find the boat in the water, the
single bridge, and a cliff. That cliff houses the location "Dragon Bridge
Overlook", where the image was taken from.
