Sakeepa in his house in Aleswell with his dog

Sakeepa is an Argonian Herder living in Aleswell. He owns a dog, simply named Sakeepa's Dog, that follows him everywhere he goes. Like his neighbours in town, both Sakeepa and his dog has been made invisible, courtesy of Ancotar's experiments in Fort Caractacus.

Visible or not, he gets out of bed every morning at 6am and heads to the corral outside his house to collect his flock of sheep. He then leads them west onto The Red Ring Road, where he will wander the grassy area near town for the next twelve hours. At 6pm, he heads back to Aleswell to meet up with all the other inhabitants at the Inn. He leaves at 9pm, and locks up the corral for the night before entering his house, where he will wander around until it's bedtime at midnight.

He carries around quite a miscellany of items: a pitchfork, shears, a wolf pelt and a roll of yarn, as well as a small amount of gold. He is armed with a club and his wardrobe consists of typical lower class attire: a coarse linen shirt, a pair of coarse linens and oiled linen shoes.

Like his choice in clothing, his house signals lower class at first glance, but it appears that Sakeepa at least makes some money herding sheep. In the various crates and barrels, amongst the usual clutter and ingredients, you’ll find some gold, as well as some upper class clothing in the drawers near his bed. Next to his dogs cage, he has placed a piece of ham for him to feed upon.

If you approach him before the related quest is completed, he won't engage in conversation, but only point you towards Diram Serethi; ”We’ve all agreed to let Diram be our spokesman. You’ll find him in the inn, if you look very carefully.” Upon successful completion of the quest, it's another matter, and he will greet you with the words: "Hello friend. Stay a while and watch the sheep with me!" or even ”We’ll never forget how you saved us from Ancotar's crazy magic. What can I do for you?” However, should you fail the quest, he is not nearly as gracious: "I'm not normally a bitter person, but you are not welcome here."

[edit] Notes

• Even though it looks like the whole herd of sheep are supposed to follow him onto the Red Ring Road, it's usually only the horned sheep that will follow him around - the others will stay in town.
