Alawen hunting a deer

Alawen is a Wood Elf archer who lives at Troll Candle Camp, south of the Gold Road between Anvil and Kvatch. She is the master trainer in Marksman and wants to influence your choice in equipment.

Although she is rumored to be the best shot in Cyrodiil, Alawen is a bit of a loner and lives her entire life in solitude in her small camp composed of only a tent, a bedroll, and two sacks. She crawls out of her tent very early at 4am, and then patrols the campsite all morning and afternoon, hunting deer for venison using her silver bow. After a long and tiring day, at 8pm, she finally sits down on the stool and enjoys a two-hour dinner. At 10pm she crawls back into her tent for six hours of sleep. If you try to approach her while she is hunting, she will reject you with the words: "Leave me to my work, stranger."

She wears a full set of leather armor excluding the helmet and shield; leather boots, greaves, gauntlets, and a cuirass. She carries a middle-class amount of gold and seven silver arrows for her bow.

Quest-Related Dialogue[edit]

Marksman Training[edit]

After you have received the necessary references from one of the advanced trainers, Alawen will greet you differently:

"Why do you bother me, stranger? You make far too much noise."
"You wish to learn? Hmm. You have potential, I see, but your equipment! A true marksman is only as good as his bow. When you have a good, solid Elven bow, then I shall teach you what you need to know."

After that, an annoyed Alawen will only say:

"What do you want now?"

When you have an elven bow in your inventory:

"You have the right equipment. This is good. Now I can teach you properly."

After that, she will train you at all times, except when eating or sleeping.

Bugs[edit]

  • Alawen checks if the player has exactly one, instead of at least one elven bow in inventory and won't agree to train otherwise; drop all but one elven bow if this is the situation.
  • Alawen's hunting often takes her too close to the unmarked bandit camp west of Dasek Moor, where she can meet an unintended death.
