Merete

Merete, a Nord battlemage, is a Journeyman of the Mages Guild. She is part of a contingent of Battlemages sent to ambush Falcar once he surfaces from the ruins of Silorn. She only appears during the related quest and is identical in her schedule, inventory and spells to her compatriot Iver.

Once the related quest is active, she will be found outside Silorn, patiently waiting for your arrival. After you have talked to Thalfin, she will make her way towards her and will then loiter around until you have assigned her to a particular placing. After you have given out your orders, she will dutifully carry them out and head to one of the two locations.

She wears steel boots, cuirass and greaves with a mage's hood. Her only other possession is a meager amount of gold. In combat she relies on a steel mace and a special set of random spells: three Destruction spells (two major, one minor), one major Alteration spell, one major Mysticism spell and one minor Restoration spell.

Quest-Related Dialogue[edit]

If you approach her before having talked to Thalfin, Merete will say:

"Thalfin's in charge. She's been waiting for you."

After your talk with Thalfin, Merete will ask:

"I'm ready to fight. Where do you need me?"
Abilities
"Well, I excelled in my studies in magic, especially large-scale spells. I'm pretty accurate with them, too. More accurate than swinging a sword."
Positions
"Do you want me to stay back, or stay up nearer to the door?"
Nevermind.
"Then just tell me when you've decided."
Up close.
"Okay, but remember. I'm not so good at close combat - you'll have to watch out for me."
Keep your distance.
"Right. I'm on my way."

Regardless of your choice, Merete will position herself as ordered and will be ready for battle:

"I'm set. As soon as they're close enough, they're dead."

Bugs[edit]

  • If Merete survives the ambush, she will remain at Silorn indefinitely.
    • PC Only The Unofficial Oblivion Patch, version 2.2.0, addresses this issue. She will be removed from the game when the quest is completed.
