Irnskar Ironhand is a Nord warrior and the housecarl of Thane Bryling in Solitude. In his own words, he is mainly there to scare off the riff-raff, so if you want to talk business, go see his lady.
Where to find them
In Solitude, in the service of Bryling. He carries the key to Bryling’s House.
Quests
A Few Words with You – the old Breton Octieve San owes Irnskar a hefty gambling debt, and you can talk to Irnskar to get Octieve off the hook.
Personality & relationships
Irnskar is blunt but devoted. He gives Bryling straight war news even when he knows she will hate it, and she is sharp enough to ask for it anyway. He also brings her gossip, like the free court gown from the tailor Endarie, who supposedly hates Bryling a little less than everyone else.
Good to know
- If Bryling dies, Irnskar takes over as Thane and grumbles that he is only a stand-in for a dead one.
- If you kill Melaran, Irnskar sends you a letter of thanks.
