Andel Indarys is the Count of Cheydinhal. He is an immigrant from the province of Morrowind, where he was a member of House Hlaalu. His wife was the late Lady Llathasa Indarys and he has one son, Farwil Indarys. Being Dunmer, he is the only non-Imperial Count or Countess in all of Cyrodiil.

His wife died recently, apparently from falling down the stairs in the County Hall. The mysterious circumstances have led to rumors about the Count's involvement. During the Thieves Guild quest The Elven Maiden the player is asked to steal a bust of Lady Llathasa from the chapel crypt. His son Farwil needs to be rescued during The Wayward Knight quest.

It is said that the Count knows what's inside the Abandoned House in Cheydinhal but prefers not to speak of it. The Count will also sell you a house in Cheydinhal for 15,000 gold. It's a pretty nice house, though among the more expensive in the game.

[edit] Notes

• The Guide to Cheydinhal provides Alessia Ottus's opinions of the count and his family.
• Several rumors can be heard in Anvil related to the Count:
  • Andel Indarys may or may not have killed his wife, and it may or may not have been an accident. And I doubt we'll ever know for sure.
  • How did a Dark Elf become Count Cheydinhal? King Helseth and Barenziah have considerable influence, and Helseth and Indarys are cronies. Get it?
  • Andel Indarys is an intemperate, bibulous philanderer. And a Dark Elf. Other than that, he is perfectly suited to be a count.
  • It's been twenty years or more since the Count married Llathasa. She was a beautiful Elven bride. She remained young while he aged. Not too long ago she was found slain. It's all hush-hush. Nobody knows exactly what happened.
  • Her tomb is in the northern croft. It's a pity about her highness. She died so young, at least for an elf. Rumor has it that there were strange circumstances with her death, if you know what I mean.
  • Andel Indarys doesn't help his case by having a prat for a son, and a wife that dies in very suspicious circumstances.
