Omluag is a Breton laborer in Markarth who sweats at the city smelter under the watchful – and heavy – hand of Mulush gro-Shugurz. Low pay, scalding metal and an Orc boss who hits first: he has plenty to complain about, and he will.
Where to find them
By day he works at or around the smelter; at night he heads back to the Warrens.
Quests
A Few Words with You: Omluag asks you to talk Mulush into easing up on the workers. Persuade, bribe or brawl your way to a deal, then report back. He pays you what he says is a week’s wages, so be gracious about it.
Follower & marriage
Once you’ve helped him, Omluag can be married if you’re wearing an Amulet of Mara.
Personality & relationships
He has worked beside Hathrasil for over ten years and is endlessly annoyed that she replies “Mmmhmm” to everything. He blames the Nord rulers and the Silver-Bloods for the workers’ misery, mourns the people lost to the Forsworn’s cause, and lists the old smelter crew for you: Degaine broke some bones, Eltrys quit and Cairine is too sick to work. If you escape Cidhna Mine, he’s impressed – you’re the talk of the Warrens.
Good to know
Kill Omluag and you may get a thank-you letter (with a reward) from Azzada Lylvieve, one from Mulush, and an inheritance notice. Kill Azzada instead and Omluag sends you thanks and a reward offer. He may also die defending you from the city guards if you commit a crime, or during a vampire attack on the city (Dawnguard).
