Skyrim:Ganna Uriel

thumb|right|''"I'm bitter because we had lives in Cyrodiil."
Ganna Uriel is an Imperial lumberjack and miner found in Kynesgrove and the Steamscorch Mine nearby. Ganna and her sister, Gemma Uriel, came to Kynesgrove to start a lumber mill but after the mill was finished they found out the trees were sacred, and they were not allowed to cut them. Losing all their money in building the now useless mill, they earn a living by mining at the Steamscorch Mine in Kynesgrove. Ganna will buy firewood for its full value.

In order to pay the debts from the failed lumber project, Ganna reluctantly works the mine with her sister, and hacks away with her pickaxe every day between 8am and 5pm. She eats two one-hour meals a day, at 7am and 5pm, at the Braidwood Inn. Like most other residents of Kynesgrove, she sleeps in a tent in the neighboring camp, every night between 10pm and 6am. At all other times she wanders around the camp or spends time at the inn.

Ganna wears a set of farm clothes with a pair of boots and gloves. She carries an iron dagger and a selection of lower-class items and gold.

Dialogue
When you approach her, she will tell the full story through her greetings. She elaborates further if you ask her about her misfortune. 
:"Seen the remnants of the grove? That... well, that was me. Me and my sister."

:"Came here to start a lumber mill. Who knew the Nords cared about a bunch of old trees?"

:"But... well, they did. Sacred, they said. So we work the mines until we've worked it off. Fair enough, I guess."
:Are things not going well for you?
:"We got the mill up and running before we found out that the big stand of trees on the hill was sacred. Now we can't cut them, and can't afford to buy another mill somewhere else. So we scrounge whatever we can from around the tundra."

Conversations
Gemma and Ganna can often be seen discussing their situation:

:Gemma Uriel: "I'll never understand why you're so bitter about everything."
:Ganna Uriel: "I'm bitter because we had lives in Cyrodiil. And we came out here to be paupers."
:Gemma Uriel: "But we choose our own path now."
:Ganna Uriel: "And a whole lot of good that's gotten us."

thumb|right|"Well, we have to cut down something!"
:Gemma Uriel: "There is some good news though. I think the borders of the shrine may be smaller than we think."
:Ganna Uriel: "Wait, so you think we'll be able to harvest some of the sacred trees up there?"
:Gemma Uriel: "Well that's just it. Some of them might not be sacred."
:Ganna Uriel: "I'll let you explain that one to the Nords."
:Gemma Uriel: "They have to be reasonable about it at some point."
:Ganna Uriel: "Gemma. This town is called 'Kynesgrove.' That stand of trees is Kyne's Grove. You don't honestly think you can just cut some down."
:Gemma Uriel: "Well, we have to cut down something!"
:Ganna Uriel: "Maybe we should just admit that this is a horrible place for a mill."

:Ganna Uriel: "What about Ulfric? Did you ever hear back from him?"
:Gemma Uriel: "No, but his housecarl sent us a letter."
:Ganna Uriel: "Why didn't you tell me? What did he say?"
:Gemma Uriel: "He... thanked us for contacting him, but said they didn't need any more lumber at the moment."
:Ganna Uriel: "Oh."
:Gemma Uriel: "You see? That's why I didn't tell you!"

:Gemma Uriel: "We've got a new order in."
:Ganna Uriel: "Is that a joke?"
:Gemma Uriel: "No! Roggi and Kjeld need some more support timbers for the mine."
:Ganna Uriel: "I suppose Kjeld asked for the usual discount?"
:Gemma Uriel: "Well, he is the mayor."
:Ganna Uriel: "No, it's fine. I don't mind being poor."

:Ganna Uriel: "That last brigade of soldiers said there's a tall forest on the eastern edge of the White River."
:Gemma Uriel: "Yes, but that's too close to Mixwater Mill. We don't want to get Gilfre angry at us by stealing her trees."
:Ganna Uriel: "Well we have to harvest somewhere! This is getting absurd."
:Gemma Uriel: "I want to make money just as much as you do, but we don't want to make the Nords angry."
:Ganna Uriel: "Who could tell the difference?"

:Gemma Uriel: "Did I tell you I got a letter from General Tullius? They've conscripted some more archers and will need..."
:Ganna Uriel: "Sssssh! That's not something we want everyone to be hearing."
:Gemma Uriel: "Oh, like the sleepy rebel supporters in this town are going to tell anyone."
:Ganna Uriel: "Let's just not take the chance. We can talk about this later."''
