Geem Jasaiin

Geem Jasaiin is an Argonian commoner residing in the Imperial City’s Elven Gardens District. He spends all of his waking hours enjoying the benefits of the big city, while hanging out with his two best friends, Wumeek and Dul gro-Shug. He also pays monthly visits to a good friend in Chorrol.

He claims to have left the Black Marsh to take advantage of his inborn abilities and make some gold working the Imperial City’s Waterways. However, he must be between jobs, as he is never even seen near the water. Instead, he gets out of bed every day at 5pm and meets up with his two friends at the neighboring King & Queen Tavern for an evening of drinking and exchanging anecdotes, only interrupted by a two-hour meal back at his house at 6pm. At 11pm, the trio leaves the tavern and staggers back to their respective homes for some much needed sleep. On Tirdas and Turdas, when the clock strikes 11am, Geem will pay a visit to Wumeek until 4pm. At all other times, he will be fast asleep in his bed, sometimes for a whopping sixteen hours in a row.

On the 9th of each month, when the clock strikes midnight, Geem gets out of bed and starts his long journey towards Chorrol. He crosses the Talos Bridge and heads northwest on the Black Road, passing through both Fort Ash and Weynon Priory. After eight hours of walking, he usually enters Chorrol through the southern gate at 8am. Once there, he books himself some shelter at The Grey Mare. At 10am, he heads for the Chorrol chapter of the Mages Guild, to pay a visit to his argonian friend Teekeeus. He will hang out in the Guild Hall all day until 8pm, when he heads back to the inn. On the 10th, he will pay Teekeus a similar visit before he heads back to the Imperial City at midnight on the 11th.

He wears a set of middle class class clothing: A red burgundy linen shirt, tan linens and russet felt shoes. He carries around his house key and a small amount of gold.

His house is located in the southern corner of the Elven Garden District. On the ground floor you will locate the usual clutter, kitchen utensils and ingredients even though three pieces of venison and three bottles of mead stands out. Also, there is a chest with a very hard lock, which disappointingly only holds even more clutter. The basement is full of empty wine racks and barrels but you will find a similar locked chest, containing up to three pieces of leveled equipment. The second floor, where Geem spends so much of his time, you’ll find two bottles of Surilie Brothers Wine at the foot of the bed, and eleven bottles of cheap wine carefully placed in the wine rack.

When you meet him for the first time, he will introduce himself and reveal his reason for moving to the big city: "I am Geem Jasaiin. We come from Black Marsh to the city to work the water ways and water trades." And he will also provide you with a bit of insight upon the differences between the Black March and the Imperial City: "To earn gold, Argonians must come to the city. It is a strange life, shaped stones and whiteskins everywhere. But in the water, we are the masters, and whiteskins pay well for our skills."

[edit] Notes

• Because the game engine calculates traveling times a bit differently, the above traveling times doesn't always hold true. As a result; If you wait for Geem in Chorrol, he will arrive at 4am. If you wait for him back in the Imperial City, he will return at 4am. Both times are approximate times.

[edit] Bugs

• His sleep package has no duration, meaning he sleeps until it is time for his appointments rather than wandering around his house as most homeowners do.
