Tove the Unrestful

Tove the Unrestful is a male Nord living in Bliss, New Sheoth. His house in the southeast corner of town contains some food and clutter, as well as a beer and a bottle of cheap wine.

He seeks your help in finding calipers and tongs to build a skyboat with. Tove seems to have trouble understanding the laws of the physical world. He also has trouble with the concept of time, or maybe he understands it better than anyone.

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

• I heard there's a new adventurer trying to get into the Shivering Isles. No real matter to me, unless he can build a boat.
• Heard the Gatekeeper was killed. Waste of a creature that size anyway, if you ask me.
• I heard the Resonator of Judgment is working again. Can't say that it affects me much, so I'll just go about my business.
• Thadon seems upbeat again. I know how hard it is to get anything done when you're not feeling up to it.
• I've no time for conspiracies. Get in the way, they do. Glad I wasn't involved at all.
• Too much to do. No time to talk about the Great Torch being relighted.
• Even if you don't agree with the method, you have to respect the hard work it takes to replace a Duchess.
• Even if you don't agree with the method, you have to respect the hard work it takes to replace a Duke.
• The Fringe has been destroyed. Who knows what could happen next? I'll have to work quickly to get my affairs in order.
• They can build a new Gatekeeper, but I can't manage to get anything done. I'm over-tasked, I tell you.
• Perhaps now that our guards are restored, things will quiet down and I'll actually be able to get something done.
• Maybe it's not worth doing any more work. I mean, it certainly seems like we're all doomed. What's the point?
• Finally, all this mess is sorted out. I can get back to my work. Oh, I've lost so much time.
