Imedhnain

Imedhnain is a loyal Breton assistant at Arnleif and Sons in Markarth who covers for his lazy cousin Cosnach and inherits the store if Lisbet dies.
“I’ve been at Arnleif and Sons all my life. It’s a good store.”

Imedhnain is a Breton who works at the Arnleif and Sons Trading Company in Markarth, helping the owner Lisbet keep the place going. He has been there his whole life and still remembers old Arnleif building the shelves himself.

Where to find them

He both works and sleeps at Arnleif and Sons, usually sorting dry goods or hunting for a missing shipment of forks.

Services

While Lisbet is alive she does the trading. If she dies, Imedhnain takes over the shop and becomes the merchant you buy from.

Personality & relationships

Imedhnain is quietly loyal. He thinks old Arnleif would be proud of how Lisbet has kept the store running through good times and bad. He is also forever covering for his cousin Cosnach, the shop’s porter, who spends more time at the Silver-Blood Inn than hauling crates. When Lisbet threatens to fire Cosnach, Imedhnain begs her to give him another chance, and she agrees only for Imedhnain’s sake. The two also fret over the ledgers, since Forsworn raids on caravans keep costing them stock.

Good to know

Kill or rob his cousin Cosnach and Imedhnain may send hired thugs after you.
