Nils, chopping firewood

Nils is an elderly citizen working at Candlehearth Hall in Windhelm as a cook and caretaker. He takes over running Candlehearth Hall if anything happens to Elda Early-Dawn.

Nils owns a room inside Candlehearth Hall, on the ground floor, and sleeps there every night between 10pm and 8am. Immediately after waking up, he spends two hours with his axe on the wood chopping block near the market. At 10am he carries the chopped wood all the way to the Gray Quarter and unloads it in front of Sadri's Used Wares. At noon he once again chops wood, and at 2pm he carries the wood to the forge outside the Blacksmith Quarters. At 4pm he finally enters Candlehearth Hall and will spend the rest of his day in the kitchen area, cooking, relaxing, or wandering around.

Nils wears a set of farm clothes along with a pair of boots. He wields an iron dagger and carries a selection of common loot and gold.

Dialogue[edit]

His greetings give a bit of insight into his character:

"Name's Nils, I'm the cook up at Candlehearth Hall."
"Can't just throw the big logs on the fire. Got to have the little bits, too."
"When I'm cutting wood, I pretend there's an Imperial soldier's head on the stump."

Notes[edit]

  • Elda may mention him in a conversation with Brunwulf Free-Winter, saying "Nils is a hard worker, but I wouldn't trust him to run things."
  • Nils wrote the book Chaurus Pie: A Recipe.
  • If he takes over Candlehearth Hall, he will not stand behind the counter. You can, however, acquire his innkeeper services around the clock, simply by finding him.

Bugs[edit]

  • Nils will not escort you to your room if he takes over as innkeeper at Candlehearth Hall.
