An Orc Adventurer

Adventurers are Orc NPCs who are found randomly in a range of ruins, forts, and caves throughout Cyrodiil. They have been sent out by Gortwog to seek treasure for the glory of Orsinium. Each Adventurer will be 2 levels lower than the player, and can be a Warrior (4 in 6 chance), Spellsword, or Battlemage (each 1 in 6 chance). The Spellsword and Battlemage have the Spellsword spells and Battlemage spells lists respectively.

They are friendly towards you and are typically found sleeping, eating and searching their current location for treasure. They will attack creatures they encounter in the dungeon, and may also loot chests and pick up items they find laying around. As such, if you are coming across empty chests or can't find items that should be in the dungeon, check to see if there is an Adventurer in your location who is carrying the missing treasure.

Notes[edit]

  • Books in the game provide some background on Orsinium and Gortwog. How Orsinium Passed to the Orcs tells how a few years ago (3E 399) Gortwog gro-Nagorm came to be king of Orsinium and warlord of the Orcs (this also happens to be a heavy armor skill book). Also, several books mention the much earlier siege of Orsinium (1E 950 to 1E 980) when the Orcs had previously been driven out of Orsinium.
  • The names Orsinium and Gortwog may also be familiar to players of Daggerfall, where they appeared in several quests (Dust of Restful Death, Barenziah's Book, and Orcish Emancipation).
  • Killing an Adventurer counts as murder unless you are in sneak mode and nobody sees you (even the Adventurer himself). This murder will trigger the Dark Brotherhood quest line if it is your first murder. However, there is no bounty for murdering an Adventurer in a dungeon.
  • One of the locations where an Adventurer can be encountered is Rielle, a dungeon that also appears in The Cause Creation for Skyrim. A dead Orc adventurer can be found within Rielle in Skyrim.
