Oblivion:Marauder

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

For information about the Marauder class, see NPC Classes.

There are four varieties of marauder: The Marauder variety, i.e., a blade-weapon melee fighter, the Marauder Archer, the Marauder Battlemage and the final type of marauder which is actually a Dog. Details on where marauders can be found is provided in the article on Marauder Dungeons.

Marauder Warlords are the marauder bosses, and are only found in dungeons. Eight dungeons have a single Marauder Warlord, typically as the final enemy you will encounter.

In addition, six non-respawning Marauders (1 regular Marauder, 2 Battlemages, 2 Archers and 1 Warlord) are encountered in Fort Blueblood during the Leyawiin Recommendation quest.

Lastly, you may encounter Dead Marauders. One Orc and one Nord marauder have been killed by other denizens of their homes before you ever arrive. You can find them in Dasek Moor, Fort Blueblood (×2), Fort Coldcorn and Fort Urasek.

All marauders are members of the Marauder Faction, which gives them a slight liking for Creatures and a pathological hatred of bandits. Both Bjalfi the Contemptible and Kylius Lonavo are in the Marauder faction even though the former's class is Warrior and the latter's is Rogue. The Mercenaries in Fort Sutch are also marauders by this definition, as are some of the contenders in Boethia's tournament.

[edit] Varieties of Marauder

All marauders, even the spell-casters, wear a level-dependent pair of boots and a cuirass. There is also a chance that they may be equipped with Greaves, Gauntlets and Shields. Warlords may sometimes wear a helmet. Their armor is always heavy armor, except for Marauder Battlemages who wear light armor boots. The quality of armor is determined by the Armor Leveled List; for weapons see the Weapons Leveled List.

There are both female and male marauders, and they may be Altmer, Argonians, Imperials, Nords or Orcs. Typically, marauders are a few levels below the player, but warlords, plus the quest-specific battlemages found on the Leyawiin Recommendation quest are the same level, and the warlord on that quest is actually two levels in advance of the player.

The following applies to the next sections:

[edit] Marauder

Female Nord Marauder	Male Nord Marauder
Female Orc Marauder	Male Orc Marauder

The basic Marauder may be an Orc or a Nord and always carries a blade (Longsword or Claymore), which may be enchanted. They are particularly skilled in Blade, Block and Heavy Armor skill and are competent in Armorer, Athletics, Hand to Hand and, oddly, Mercantile.

Female Imperial Marauder Archer	Male Imperial Marauder Archer

Marauder Archers can be Argonians or Imperials and carry a bow and arrows, either or both of which may be enchanted, and also a dagger for close combat. Perhaps surprisingly their strongest skill is Mercantile, and they are also competent in Athletics, Hand to Hand and Marksman.

[edit] Marauder Battlemage

Female Altmer Marauder Battlemage

Male Altmer Marauder Battlemage

Marauder Battlemages are concerned with magic so they only carry daggers for combat, although these may be enchanted. They are always Altmer. They specialize in Destruction, although their Restoration skills are also reasonable and they have an interest in the standard marauder skills of Armorer, Athletics, Blade, Hand to Hand and Mercantile.

Specific Types of Marauder Battlemage

00069ad6	High Elf	-4	Female

[edit] Marauder Warlord

Female Imperial Marauder Warlord	Male Imperial Marauder Warlord
Female Nord Marauder Warlord	Male Nord Marauder Warlord

Marauder Warlords carry the standard potentially-enchanted blade and they are also the only type of marauder that may wear a helmet, which can also be enchanted. Their Heavy Armor, Blade and Hand to Hand skills are particularly honed, although they can also get by in Armorer, Athletics and Block.
