Irlav Jarol gets some fresh air in the Arcane University campus

Irlav Jarol, an Imperial mage, is a Master-Wizard of the Mages Guild who is part of the Council of Mages and works as a researcher for the Arcane University, specializing in Ayleid history. He is also the author of Magic from the Sky.

Like many of his fellow University dwellers, he lives a very laid-back existence and never seems to overexert himself. He sleeps for six hours from 6pm until midnight, then heads for the Council Chambers, where he stays until 4pm. He then heads out into the university grounds to take a relaxing walk around the alchemy garden until it's time for bed once more.

There are two changes to his schedule: the first is during the Vahtacen's Secret quest, when he will be found from 10am until 6pm in the Arch-Mage's Lobby waiting for you. The second is during the Light the Dragonfires quest, when he and all other Imperial City residents are confined indoors. During The Bloodworm Helm quest he will be removed from the University and relocated to Fort Teleman, where he will suffer a scripted death.

He wears upper-class attire consisting of the rare white mage's robes and white mage's shoes (although following his death, he is found wearing gold trimmed shoes). He also carries a sizable amount of gold. Until his death, he carries the Ayleid Reference Text involved in the Vahtacen's Secret quest. He doesn't wield any weapons, relying instead on a set of leveled spells from all of the magical schools. During The Bloodworm Helm quest he will be carrying the unique artifact of the same name.

When asked about the city, he will reveal his interest for the Ayleid civilization: "You know, of course, the Imperial Palace is Ayleid. White Gold Tower, they called it, back in the Middle Merethic, when the Aldmeri ruled Tamriel." When you completed Vahtacen's Secret, he will congratulate you on a job well done: "Good work getting that straightened out. I'm glad someone finally came along that was able to make progress with it."

Raminus Polus has the following to say about Irlav: "He's a good man, but Council matters have distracted him lately, and he's been neglecting his other work." In the depths of Vahtacen, Skaleel tends to agree: "Irlav sent you, did he? Figures. He can't be bothered to come check on his own project, so he sends someone who knows nothing about it. And this is supposed to help?" After you have found the artifact, she will react with irony: "Get that artifact back to Irlav at the Arcane University. He's in a better position to study it than I am. Or to assign someone else to do it..."

[edit] Notes

• The dead version of Irlav Jarol that you find in Fort Teleman is technically a different NPC called "IrlavJarolDead" (RefID 00014675, FormID 00014674). As a result, his inventory after death is slightly different than while he is alive. Also, the Bloodworm Helm is added to his corpse by a script triggered when the player activates his corpse; this ensures that his corpse is not wearing the helm. "IrlavJarolDead" is not a member of the IC Citizens, Arcane University, or Nobility factions.
