Atul

Atul, an Orc citizen, is the wife of mercenary Dumrag gro-Morrg. She was kidnapped months ago and her husband will ask for your help in finding her during the related quest. She will only appear from stage 130, wears fine clothes and fine boots, and is armed with an iron dagger.

When meeting Dumrag at The Restful Watchman, he will explain what happened: "I'd been hired by some anonymous noble to clear out a cave full of bandits near Bruma. Offered some nice coin, too. My wife came with me. We're battle-partners. Things were going well, until we were ambushed. Bandit reinforcements showed up out of nowhere, flanking us the way we came. They bound us and gagged us, left us disarmed and defeated. They left with my wife, and left me to die. I managed to escape my captivity, but when I got back to the cave they'd gone. All of them. Including my wife. I've been searching for her for damn near a whole year now, no success."

As it turns out, the story is more complicated. Once you have evidence incriminating Simund Gautierre for the kidnapping and search his manor house, you will find Atul and Simund in the basement. When Dumrag confronts Simund, the latter tells him that he and Atul are lovers, as she reluctantly confirms: "It's true, Dumrag. I... love him."

If you convince Dumrag to accept the facts and leave, Atul will move in and sleep all day in the first floor bedroom of the mansion. If you suggest he kills Simund, she will flee in horror, and you will later learn from Dumrag that she left him again. Finally, if you leave Dumrag to make his own choice he will slay both lovers in his rage.

• Atul was meant to eat meals at 7am and 7pm, and spend some time wandering around the manor, but as her sleeping package has no set times and is first in the load order, that is all she ends up doing.
