Hlidara Mothril in Leyawiin Castle

Hlidara Mothril is a female Altmer noble working in Castle Leyawiin as Alessia Caro's chaplain and advisor. She takes her role very seriously, taking it to the point where she follows Alessia everywhere from the moment she wakes up and until she goes to sleep.

Her room is located in the northeastern part of the Lord’s Manor Private Quarters and she sleeps there every night between midnight and 6am. After waking up, she immediately seeks out Alessia, who will stay in her private quarters until 8am. At that time Hlidara will follow Alessia to her throne in the Great Hall and will stay by her side for five hours. At 3pm, she will escort the Countess and her bodyguard on their daily three-hour trip to the Great Chapel of Zenithar. They leave the Chapel at 7pm, in order to reach the castle before the traditional formal dinner starts at 8pm. When the Countess leaves the table at 11pm, Hlidara follows her up to the private quarters for one hour of wandering, before they both go their separate ways and find their beds at midnight. On Turdas, when the Countess visits Mahei between 6pm and 10pm, Hlidara will patiently wait outside Mahei's front door until she returns to the Castle at 8pm for dinner.

She wears the rare zero-weight forester's shirt along with tan linens, a pair of quilted shoes, and a leveled piece of unenchanted jewelry. She carries a useful raft of castle keys and a small amount of gold.

She, along with some other citizens, thinks that Alessia's policies are well intended as she says when you first meet her: "I am Hlidara Mothril. Lady Leyawiin's chaplain and chief advisor. I assist Her Ladyship so that her enlightened policies might achieve the greatest possible influence upon the affairs of County Leyawiin". When asked about Leyawiin, she will express even more approval for Alessia's policies and how they ought to transform Leyawiin into a more Imperial influenced county: "Leyawiin is a state in transition. It has long been a respected country making moderate cultural and economic contributions to the Empire. However, Leyawiin must move towards the mainstream of Imperial culture, both in political and economical affairs".

She is your main informant during Ahdarji's Heirloom quest, telling you about a secret passage beneath the Castle and Alessia's daily schedule. Although she approves Alessia's political ideas, she is not so happy about her torture chamber, as she will express when she informs you about its existence: "It's too dangerous to be heard talking about that. The Countess has a secret passage somewhere in the basement that leads to her private quarters. That's where the tourture chamber is. Sometimes I can hear the screams of the prisoners in my chambers".
