Hilde

Hilde, an elderly Nord citizen, is the mother of local bard Sven; they share a house in Riverwood. She dislikes "cats, lizards and elves", in particular Faendal, who rivals her son's love affair with Camilla Valerius.

She wears a set of farmer clothes, including a pair of boots and a hat. She carries an iron dagger, a respawning red apple, the house key and a variety of common loot and gold.

She sleeps in the house every night between 10pm and 5am and starts the day with cooking and eating breakfast. At 9am she goes outside and spends the entire day on the porch, interrupted only by a one-hour meal at 6pm. At 8pm she heads back inside for a bit of relaxation before bedtime.

Quest-Related Events

Before the Storm

After the destruction of Helgen, you will find Hilde on the porch outside her house, busy using the tanning rack or relaxing in her chair. As soon as Ralof or Hadvar finishes conversation with their relatives, Hilde will get up and shout:

Hilde: "A dragon! I saw a dragon!"
Sven: "What? What is it now, mother?"
Hilde: "It was as big as the mountain, and black as night. It flew right over the barrow."
Sven: "Dragons, now, is it? Please, mother. If you keep on like this everyone in town will think you're crazy. And I've got better things to do than listen to more of your fantasies."
Hilde: "You'll see! It was a dragon! It'll kill us all and then you'll believe me!"

She will then return to her regular routine.

Dialogue

When approached she can say:

"By Shor, what do you want?"

"It's my boy Sven you need to listen to. He sings at the inn, most every night."

"Sven has the voice of a snow lark. Only good thing he got from his father."

"My boy fancies that Camilla Valerius. She'll come around soon enough."

"Camilla, I've seen her talking to that Faendal. Filthy elf needs to keep to his own kind..."

"I raised my Sven to be strong, and proud. A true Nord."

"Nobody believes me, but I tell you, I saw a dragon!"

"Did you hear? The Riverwood Trader was robbed! Poor Lucan must be torn to pieces over it."

If you are playing as a human or Orc character:

"What happened to my Skyrim? Everywhere you look, cats, lizards and elves. It's sickening."

Conversations

At random times, she may also have conversations with a few Riverwood residents, including over-protective mother Sigrid and, provided you have completed Before the Storm, an unlucky and seemingly annoyed guard:

Hilde: "It seems like Dorthe grows a head taller every season."
Sigrid: "Aye. She's helping me in the house, and even helps her father at the forge."
Hilde: "She'll make a fine wife someday."
Sigrid: "Thank Shor I have a lot of years before I have to worry about that!"

Hilde: "Has my son Sven asked to join the war?"
Guard: "Not this again."
Hilde: "If he does, tell him how bad the food is. And how dangerous it is."
Guard: "Look old woman. If your boy wants to learn how to fight, we'll teach him. Now off with you."

Notes

• Hilde does not have a unique facial model, she instead uses the default female Elder face.
