Odvan

Odvan is a Breton witchblade who lives in Cidhna Mine.

He wears a standard roughspun tunic, like many of his fellow prisoners, and a pair of footwraps. He carries a bottle of skooma and a single shiv. He knows the Alteration spell Oakflesh, the Conjuration spell Raise Zombie, and the Destruction spell Flames.

Dialogue[edit]

"I was sent here because someone said I was a Forsworn."
"I'm innocent. The Nords framed me. I was nowhere near that murder weapon."
"I wonder how grandma Bothela is doing. She's probably worried sick about me."
"I can't believe we're finally getting out."

When spoken to:

How long have you been here?
"A couple of years? I wasn't a Forsworn when I came, but I joined up when I got in. Easier that way."
What are you in for?
"Guards say I murdered someone. I was just sleeping off some mead in my aunt's house, but that didn't stop them from arresting me. I don't even know who they said I killed."

Scenes[edit]

Throughout the day, Odvan can be seen talking to Duach:

Odvan: "Think maybe we should jump the guards when they come down next?"
Duach: "They keep the doors locked when they come down. You kill them, you're trapping us here with no food."

Rumors[edit]

His aunt, Bothela, may mention him when her apprentice asks if she has any family:

"I have one. A nephew. He's in prison for being a member of the Forsworn."

Notes[edit]

  • This scene, as shown by internal names, was originally meant to play out between Odvan and Duach instead:
Braig: "Have any skooma? I need to get something from Grisvar."
Duach: "You make one move towards my skooma, and I shiv you."
  • There is some confusion about his relationship to Bothela. In all of her dialogue, she refers to him as her nephew. But in Odvan's dialogue, he once refers to her as his grandma and once implies her to be his aunt. Meanwhile, their relationship data has them set up as grandchild and grandparent, adding confusion.
