Rulnik’s Dagger belongs to Rulnik Wind-Strider, the character at the heart of the Bittercup Creation. It is a modest blade, but a nice keepsake from the questline.
How to get it
Talk to Rulnik Wind-Strider at the Temple of Kynareth in Whiterun at the end of A Dying Wish, and you receive the dagger together with the Bittercup. UESP’s character page also says that you can get it by trading with Rulnik once he is your follower.
Enchantment
None.
Stats and handling
8 base damage at a weight of 3.5 – the damage of an Elven Dagger at a slightly lower weight. It uses the One-handed skill and the Nordic dagger model.
Smithing
UESP does not document how it is tempered.
Strengths and weaknesses
- Strength: very light.
- Weakness: low damage and no enchantment.
Tips
- Enchant it as a backup stealth dagger, or keep it as a memento.
