Bralsa Andaren

Bralsa Andaren's bedroll

Bralsa Andaren is a Dark Elf mage currently residing near a wayshrine to Kynareth, specifically the shrine between Weatherleah and Nonungalo. She is the Master trainer in Destruction and has a very special task she wants you to perform before she will train you.

She spends all of her time in the wilderness, apparently hunting for venison in the area surrounding the shrine. She prefers the area around Nonungalo or Fort Dirich but when chasing a deer, can follow it extremely far away in any direction, making her pretty hard to find. At 11pm, she will head back to her bedroll, a few steps south of the shrine near three big rocks, and sleep there until 7am. She only offers Destruction Master Training when she is not hunting, from 11pm to 7am each day.

She wears a burgundy linen shirt, a pair of matching linens, and thick cowhide shoes and carries a few gold coins. She does not carry any weapons but has a leveled set of Mage spells from all magic schools, and another major Destruction spell (all major spells are Journeyman-leveled, except for the two Destruction and Mysticism spells, which are Expert-level). She also has another Apprentice-level Destruction spell.

Dialogue

When you approach her, she will respond rudely:

"Begone, stranger! I have business with Kynareth's shrine, and I will not be disturbed."

Quest-related Events

Destruction Training

If you have triggered the quest, it's another matter. Like herself, she wants you to battle the local wildlife in order to challenge the gods:

"You seek training? If I were to aid you, you would first have to assist me. I would strip the Creators of their works... you will help with this. Bring me 20 bear pelts, as proof that you have helped tear nature asunder. Then we shall speak of spells and teaching."

If you return empty-handed, she will get angry:

"What are you doing here? What do you want?" and

"You have not done that which I ask. Kill the bears and bring me their hides. Then I shall do as you ask."

And when you bring her the twenty pelts, she will be happy;

"Very good.... Very good indeed. The Creators shall take notice soon enough, and then they shall have me to deal with! You have done your part, so I shall do mine. What I know I will teach you."

The only people who seem to have heard of Bralsa are the two advanced Destruction trainers. Marc Gulitte will tell you that "The only way you can learn more about Destruction magic now is to find Bralsa Andaren. She can train you better than anyone. Good luck finding her, though. The latest I heard was that she had wandered off into the wilderness, looking for a shrine to Kynareth." and "If you want to learn more about training Destruction magic, you'll have to find Bralsa Andaren." Delphine Jend concurs. She has a little more information to give you about Bralsa, however: "If you want to know more, there's one person I can think of to teach you, though she's a bit... odd. You'll need to find Bralsa Andaren. Best mage I've ever seen, but a bit eccentric. Last I heard, she had camped out at a shrine to Kynareth, and was killing wildlife for fun, I think."

Unused Dialogue

Every Master trainer has unused dialogue related to them refusing you training if you hadn't completed their quest yet (likely when you selected the train icon). For Bralsa this is supposed to be:

"I have nothing to teach the likes of you."

Bugs

• There is an additional line of unused dialogue in the Construction Set: before the related quest, Bralsa was also meant to greet you with "Go away, stranger. You frighten the animals, and make my work more difficult." before bidding you goodbye. However, the greeting above will always take precedence.
  • The Unofficial Oblivion Patch, version 3.5.0, fixes this bug.
