Rulnik Wind-Strider

Rulnik Wind-Strider is a Nord sorcerer located at the Temple of Kynareth in Whiterun. He appears during the quest A Dying Wish, and can be recruited as a follower afterward. He can also be appointed as a personal steward. Once he's recruited as a follower, he can be traded with to obtain Rulnik's Dagger.

At the start of his quest he will stay at the Temple, wounded. After the completion of the quest, assuming he survived, he will start wandering around the temple beginning at 6AM each day. At noon he will head out into Whiterun and wander the city instead. At 6PM he will visit The Bannered Mare, where he will spend the next twelve hours engaging in the activities available there. At 6AM he will return to the temple, and his schedule will repeat.

He wears a set of Expert Robes of Alteration and a pair of boots.

Rulnik being looked after

When first spoken to after being healed:

"Ysmir's blessing on you."
It was nothing. I'm just glad you're okay.
"I understand. Many thanks. And please, take this gift. I hope it's a fitting token to honor the dead."
It's all right. You've got the rest of your life to repay me.
"It would seem so. Many thanks. And please, take this gift. I hope it's a fitting token to honor the dead."
The healers at the temple deserve most of the credit.
"It would seem so. Many thanks. And please, take this gift. I hope it's a fitting token to honor the dead."
Ysmir's blessing is worthless to me, but okay.
"I understand. Many thanks. And please, take this gift. I hope it's a fitting token to honor the dead."

After this he can be spoken to and recruited as a follower:

I found this journal in Falkreath. Is it yours?
"It is so. What are your thoughts on all this?"
The altar was a blessing. It helped me save you.
"How can I argue with that? Now, let's pledge to never speak of this again."
The altar's cursed. Hagraven magic can't be trusted.
"It would seem so. Now, let's pledge to never speak of this again."
I'm curious what would've happened had I chose differently.
"I understand. Now, let's pledge to never speak of this again."
I don't have any thoughts either way.
"I understand. Now, let's pledge to never speak of this again."
What about you? Are you happy with the choice you made?
"Of course. Now, let's pledge to never speak of this again."
Follow me. I need your help.
"Let's not waste any time."
