Thaedil finishes her routine

Thaedil is a Bosmer Acrobat and juggler living in Bliss, New Sheoth. Her insanity seems to be that she is bipolar. Half of the time, when you speak to her, she is happy and pleased with herself. The other half, she regrets ever becoming a juggler, lamenting her status as the "worst juggler in the world".

Her ever-changing confidence and constant mood swings never prevents her from venturing outside to demonstrate her juggling skills to the other citizens of Bliss. She lives in the southwestern corner of Bliss and sleeps there every night between 10pm and 6am. After eating a two-hour breakfast on the ground floor, she heads outside at 8am and spends nearly all day wandering around town, at random times juggling in front of the many townsfolk passing by. Her favorite spots includes the plaza and alleyways near The Missing Pauldron, the area in front of the southern gate and even outside the northwestern gate, where a lonely Golden Saint Guard is her only audience. She pauses at 12pm for a two-hour lunch at The Choosy Beggar and heads back home for a two-hour dinner at 8pm.

She wears a simple set of Mania clothing, a pair of brown trousers with loafers and a grey tunic. She carries around her house key and a leveled amount of gold.

Thaedil's house is in the southwest corner of town, between Orinthal's houe and the Sacellum Arden-Sul. The main entrance room has one set of stairs on the south wall leading up to her small bedroom. The cupboard next to the door contains clutter. The alcove in the southeast corner has a food cupboard and a clothing cupboard, as well as a table with two plates of digestive slime, a dish of Congealed Putrescence, and a serving of Grummite eggs. A basket here also holds another congealed putrescence, an alocasia fruit, and a red kelp gas bladder. A head of lettuce and a spool of yarn sit on a pedestal behind the stairs with a bust of Sheogorath. The small bedroom at the top of the stairs contains only Thaedil's double bed and a clothing cupboard.

At different stages in the Main Quest, Thaedil will share different rumors with other NPCs:

• There's someone new in town, I hear. Finally, someone with a wider perspective who can appreciate my art!
• I wonder... now that the Gatekeeper is dead, perhaps my fame will finally spread far beyond the Shivering Isles!
• I'm calling my new act "The Restoration of the Resonator." But, I don't think my public is ready for it yet. It's very cutting edge.
• Now that Duke Thadon's happy again, I'm sure he'll invite me to the palace to perform! Oh, who am I kidding....
• Syl has gone on another one of her rampages in Crucible. I'm certainly glad I live on the right side of the wall.
• I'm working on a very unusual new juggling routine to commemorate the relighting of the Torch. But you'd probably hate it.
• I wonder if the new Duke of Dementia is a patron of the arts. Perhaps he will be more appreciative of my act than Lady Syl.
• I'm so excited! I expect an invitation to perform at the installation of the new ruler of Mania any day now!
• During these terrible times, I think people need juggling more than ever to take their minds off their troubles.
• I'm working on a new act where I juggle arms and legs -- in honor of the new Gatekeeper, you see.
• I'll soon be unveiling an entirely new act. "Silence Over Brellach: A Juggling Epic." I think you'll agree it's my finest work.
• All my patrons keep disappearing! It's impossible to create important art under these conditions!
• Art has triumphed! I plan to dedicate my next juggling epic to Sheogorath's glorious victory!

[edit] Bugs

A strange error found when talking to her is her voice acting, which differs from the subtitles. When the subtitles read, "Did you see that? Twelve balls in the air at once! No one has EVER juggled that many at once." She actually says, "Did you see that? Three plates in the air at once! No one has EVER juggled that many at once."

• This bug is fixed by the Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch.

The purple color of her juggling balls is accidental; their texture is missing and the game replaces a missing texture file with solid purple to make it stand out.
