Thamriel in the Imperial City's Market District

Thamriel is a Bosmer Commoner who lives in the Imperial City's Talos Plaza District with her friend Elragail. At 12am on the 20th of each month, she heads to the Two Sisters Lodge in Skingrad, where she will remain until 12am on the 22nd. When not on this trip, Thamriel sleeps in her house from 10pm until 6am and then spends four hours wandering around her ground floor. At 10am she heads to The Foaming Flask for breakfast and spends two hours there before heading home again. At 2pm she walks to the Market District and walks around the southern corner for three hours. On Morndas, Middas and Fredas she then heads over to Green Emperor Way and wanders there until 9pm before returning home; on other days she goes straight home from the Market District. Additionally, Sundas sees her spend 8am to noon praying in the Temple of the One. The exception to her schedule is during the Light the Dragonfires quest, when all residents of the Imperial City are under martial law and confined to their houses.

Thamriel appears to be a little unhinged. When first encountered, she will announce "Thamriel of Tamriel. What are all those strange creatures in the garden? Where are all the white birds?", and her friend Elragil will tell you that "I look after Thamriel. He's^{[sic, not She's]} a little strange. 'Touched by the Gods', they say." Other residents of the Imperial City speculate on her strangeness, and will say "Thamriel says she hears voices. All the men and women who lived and died here for thousands of years... maybe they left ghosts behind."

She wears a middle-class outfit of burgundy linen pants and shirt with pigskin shoes. She also carries a few gold coins and her house key. Her house is split into three levels, with a basement and private quarters in addition to the ground floor. All three levels contain several crates and barrels of random clutter. The basement also holds a locked chest with a chance of up to three leveled pieces of equipment or arrows. In a wine rack, you'll find a few bottles of cheap wine; the highlight on the ground floor is the silver cutlery, and the upstairs is similarly bare, with a few books and some more silver the only items of interest.

[edit] Notes

• Thamriel was originally designed as a man. Elragil still refers to her as a "he", and the dialogue has a note in the CS that says "changed "He's' to 'She's' -- our sex change error".
• Thamriel was also intended to play a role in the unfinished "Imperial Couriers" quest; at midday on the 3rd of each month, as long as Maenlorn is still alive, she will head to The Black Horse Courier office in the Market District and spend a brief amount of time there, before taking a stroll between the Green Emperor Way and The Elven Gardens District before going back to the Market District again at 4pm.

[edit] Bugs

• Thamriel is one of the characters affected by an audio glitch.
