Oblivion:Casta Scribonia

Casta Scribonia is an Imperial savant and the author of several popular books (none of which appear to be in the game). Her home is near the Chapel of Stendarr, and she can sometimes be found visiting the local Mages Guild hall.  She is sometimes visited by another author, Quill-Weave, from Anvil.

Casta Scribonia begins her day after getting out of bed at 6am, at which point she will wander around her home for the next two hours. Once two hours have passed by exploring her home, she will leave her house and head to the Southern Gate and chat with passers by for the next four hours. At noon, she will seek out Orok gro-Ghoth for a meeting. After speaking with Orok, Casta Scribonia will return home at 2pm. She will continue exploring her home for another two hours, after which she will visit the local Mages Guild to see Contumeliorus Florius. After visiting Contumeliorus, she will head to The Oak and Crosier for dinner. After her meal, she will return home for the day around 8pm, where she will continue her earlier task of exploring her residence. Finally, she will retire to her bed at midnight, where she will sleep until 6am to repeat her schedule.

She wears a black & burgundy outfit with a pair of green velvet shoes. She also carries a modest amount of gold, a pair of green silk garments and her key. 

When encountered for the first time, Casta will boast about one of her books: ''"Hello. I'm Casta Scribonia. The writer. Author of 'Woman Gone Wild'." She is also something of a match-maker. When asked about Chorrol, she will at first respond "Who is the fairest of them all? Other than myself? The proprietor of the Grey Mare is lovely. She and the guard captain would be a nice couple....", but after the mini-quest involving Emfrid and Bittneld the Curse-Bringer is completed she will say instead "I hear that Emfrid and Captain Bittneld are spending a lot of time together. You wouldn't have anything to do with that, would you?"

Her fame as an author is widespread but people have a mixed opinion of her work: "Casta Scribonia has finished a new book. Nothing that interests me, though", "I read one of Casta Scribonia's books not long ago. Terrible stuff, if you ask me. But, some folks seem to like it", "I've liked some of Scribonia's work. Haven't read everything, though", and "I'd like to read Scribonia's work. I just wish I had more time to do it"'' are the one-line reviews that can be overheard. Another, longer, review of her work can be found in Alessia Ottus' Guide to Chorrol.

Oblivion:Tavia

Tavia is a Redguard commoner, and one of the few survivors of the Oblivion raid on Kvatch. She can  be found in the refugee camp south of the destroyed city.

Like the other survivors from Kvatch, Tavia spends most of her time wandering around the refugee camp in a state of disbelief. She sleeps in her small tent every night between 11pm and 5am. After waking up, she will spend the whole day wandering around the encampment and occasionally sharing her experiences with the other survivors. At 10am she sits down near the unlit fireplace and relaxes for four hours. At 6pm, she will sit down at the same spot for a two-hour dinner.

She wears middle-class attire, a russet felt outfit with matching shoes. She only carries the occasional piece of food and a considerable amount of gold.

When you meet her for the first time, after having closed the Kvatch Oblivion Gate, she will greet you like this: ''"I'm really busy... oh. Sorry. You closed the gate, yes? Thank you. What can I do for you?"''

Oblivion:Guilbert Selone

Guilbert Selone is a Breton commoner and a survivor of the Kvatch raid, first found in the Chapel of Akatosh. 

While he is stuck in the Chapel of Akatosh, he will sleep at 10pm until 12pm the following day. He will spend the rest of his time wandering about the chapel. If he escapes from the ruins of Kvatch, he will wander around the campsite, never eating or sleeping. 

Like the other survivors, he doesn't have much. He only has a small amount of gold and his clothes: coarse linens, a collared shirt and a pair of buckled shoes.

When you greet him for the first time, while still hiding out in the Chapel, he will say: ''"It's the Chapel of Akatosh. Four walls standing, and no fire. Can you think of a safer place?" When asked about Kvatch at this point he will respond: "I'm not going out there. What's the point? There's nothing left. I'll just stay right here." As soon as he leaves the chapel with Tierra and the other refugees, Guilbert will tell you about what Kvatch was like prior to the invasion from the daedra, saying "Maybe we can rebuild. But things will never be the same. We had everything here. Beautiful gardens. Fresh mountain air. Did you know Kvatch had the only Arena in Cyrodiil outside the Imperial City? All gone now, though. Just smoke and mud and rubble."''
Oblivion:Athrelor

Athrelor, a Wood Elf commoner, is a refugee from Kvatch. He was in his basement when he heard fire and screaming, and managed to escape into the woods where he spent the night. When he realized that his former home was destroyed, he decided to settle down in the refugee camp along with the other survivors.

He sleeps in the big tent in the center of the camp and wakes up every morning at 6am. He always spends the first three hours of the day inside the tent, doing nothing. At 9am he heads outside and wanders around the campsite for five hours. The afternoon is spent inside the tent until 6pm, when he sits down on the stool near the campfire and enjoys a three-hour dinner. He spends the last hour inside the tent until he finally goes to bed at 10pm.

He wears a set of regular middle-class clothing, a quilted doublet with tan linens and a pair of doeskin shoes. He carries a medium amount of gold and a bread loaf. 

When asked about Kvatch he will recall the terrible events: ''"I really can't tell you what happened. I'm just lucky to be alive. I was in my basement. Suddenly there was a lot of noise and heat. I stepped outside, and the whole town was on fire, smoke everywhere. I ran for the gate. I got through the gate, and kept running through the woods by the light of the fires. I slept in the woods. I came back in the morning, and Kvatch was gone. There was nothing I could do. I just ran. If I hadn't, I'd be dead." After you have closed the gate near Kvatch, he will comment: "You've done us a great service, stranger. We're all grateful."

In both cases, the date of birth and death should be interpreted as Era / Year. For example, "2E/125" should be read as "Second Era in the year 125". All unknown dates and names are noted with the inclusion of "???". A † symbol next to a date of death indicates that the death was not natural.  Names in bold indicate ruling emperors.

Oblivion:Gaston Surilie

Gaston Surilie is a Breton rogue and the brother of Davide Surilie. As vintners, they are responsible for some of the most popular wines in and around Cyrodiil, the most common being the regular Surilie Brothers Wine, the rarest and most expensive being the Surilie Brothers Vintage 399. 

Although they are both dedicated to their craft, the Surilie Brothers' workday depends on the weather; sunny days are busy days, while rainy days are spent inside the house. Gaston sleeps behind one of the reinforced doors on the top floor every night between midnight and 6am. While Davide leaves for work right away, Gaston waits an hour before he goes to work at 7am. The Surilie vineyard is located in the West Weald, just west of town and Gaston spends the entire morning working the land amidst all the grape vines. At 1pm he finds himself an available chair near the vineyard and enjoys a two-hour lunch. At 3pm he reenters Skingrad and works in his own backyard along with Ambroise Canne. At 8pm he will stop working and just hang out in the backyard until he goes inside at 11pm. On rainy days, he will stay inside the house all day long, eating lunch at 1pm as usual. The only exception to his daily routine can happen during the Paranoia quest, but only if you deem his brother guilty in conspiring against local town eccentric Glarthir. If you show either Gaston or Davide the List of Death, both Surilie Brothers will set off at a running pace, seek out Glarthir regardless of his location, and kill him on the spot. 

Gaston is one of only three Cyrodiil citizens who wears the zero-weight black hood. He also wears a blue & green outfit and a pair of thick cowhide shoes. In combat he will use the shortsword of sparks, an enchanted iron shortsword. Gaston carries his copy of the house key, a hoe, a rake, and a moderately sized amount of gold. He knows a set of leveled rogue spells.

When you approach the busy vintner for the first time, he will introduce himself: ''"I'm Gaston Surilie. Perhaps you've met my brother, Davide? Together, we are the Surilie Brothers Winery." When asked about Skingrad, a proud Gaston will reply: "Skingrad is the wine-producing capital of Tamriel. You must sample our local wines. You'll never taste better. The 415 vintages were particularly good. The 399... well... a once-in-a-lifetime experience... IF you can find a bottle."''

Oblivion:Glistel

Glistel is a Dark Elf agent living at Malintus Ancrus' house in Chorrol.  You may hear many rumors from townspeople expressing their disgust at the relationship. It is possible, however, that this relationship is merely a front; they are in fact both Thieves Guild members, and the only representatives of the guild living in the city. She offers basic Sneak training.

She wears upper-class clothing consisting of a highwayman's shirt, a green silk garment, and a pair of green velvet  shoes. She is armed with an iron dagger and carries her key and a modest sum of gold.

Glistel will introduce herself when first spoken to: ''"I'm Glistel. What do you need?" Asking her about the city will prompt her to talk about her housemate: "My housemate, Malintus  , and I are well-known in certain circles here. But, you don't travel in those circles, do you?" When asked about Chorrol, Malintus will provide a hint: "Glistel and me, we keep an eye on things here in Chorrol for certain interested parties... as a public service, like."

The townspeople are quick to speak rumors about the situation between Glistel and Malintus: "I can't believe that Glistel would live with that Malintus Ancrus. Shameful, and her being such a lovely girl.", "I don't understand what Glistel is doing with Malintus Ancrus. I mean, have you seen her? And have you seen him? I just don't get it.", "I'm sure you've heard that Glistel and Malintus Ancrus are living together. Simply shameful." and "Have you seen Glistel and Malintus Ancrus together? Isn't it awful?" Others will reply: "It is awful. Her poor mother. What is Glistel thinking?" while some will be more forgiving: "I don't see a problem with those two. It's a bit odd, but that's their business."''
Oblivion:Malintus Ancrus

Malintus Ancrus is an Imperial thief living in Chorrol with a Dunmer woman named Glistel. The people of Chorrol frequently express disdain at this "shameful" relationship, but this may only be a front, as they are both Thieves Guild members, and the only representatives of the guild living in the city. 

Despite being one of the few connections the Thieves Guild has in Chorrol, Malintus lives a very relaxed life. He starts his day by waking up at 6am and will begin to wander around his house, unlocking the door at 8am. Sometime after 10am, he will be visited by Gaturn gro-Gonk. He will quickly send Gaturn off after a brief conversation. He will continue to wander around his house for the remainder of the day, locking up at 9pm. He will then stroll around some more until he heads to bed at midnight. During the quest Arrow of Extrication, Malintus will calmly wait outside his house while you and the Gray Fox conduct business.

Malintus wears a set of lower class clothing: a coarse linen shirt, laced leather pants and a pair of rough leather shoes. He is armed with an iron dagger and carries some lockpicks, a torch, his key and a small amount of gold.

Speaking to Malintus Ancrus for the first time will have him greet you by saying; ''"I'm Malintus Ancrus. How are you doing?" Asking him about his city of choice will have him reply; "Glistel and me, we keep an eye on things here in Chorrol for certain interested parties... as a public service, like." When you are sent to meet The Gray Fox in his house, Malintus will stay outside; when he spots you, he will say: "Don't keep the Gray Fox waiting." Speaking to him will net you another reminder; "The Gray Fox is waiting for you." After your conversation with the Gray Fox, Malintus will remind you one last time; "Aren't you supposed to be on a quest for the Gray Fox?"''

Oblivion:Otius Loran

Otius Loran is an Imperial priest and the Primate of the Great Chapel of Stendarr in Chorrol.

Like the other residents of the Chapel, Otius sleeps downstairs in the Chapel Hall, preferably in the southern bedroom. He rises early at 4am and immediately heads up into the main chapel and spends his morning there. At 8am, he positions himself in front of the Altar of Stendarr and receives a single blessing. At noon he leaves the chapel and goes down the street to the Oak and Crosier and hangs out there for four hours. At 4pm, he heads back to the chapel, receives another blessing from Stendarr and just wanders around until his early bedtime at 10pm. 

He wears a black & burgundy outfit with gold trimmed shoes. He carries around a spare green silk garment and a large amount of gold. Otius knows a leveled set of priest spells, as well as one extra major Restoration spell.

Otius takes his position as Primate seriously, which becomes apparent when you approach him for the first time: ''"I'm Otius Loran, Primate of Stendarr. You stand before Gods' servant, in the house of the Nine. Be humble, and show respect."'' If you have installed the Knights of the Nine official plug-in and started the quest Stendarr's Mercy, Otius will point you towards newcomer Areldur for more information on the Gauntlets of the Crusader: ''"The gauntlets, eh? They're Areldur's responsibility. Speak to him about them."''
Oblivion:Gureryne Selvilo

Gureryne Selvilo is a Dark Elf healer at the Chapel of Stendarr in Chorrol.

Gureryne lives his life in accordance with the Ten Commands of the Nine Divines and spends most of his time helping out whenever he can. After waking up early at 6am, he heads upstairs to the main chapel and spends two hours wandering around and talking to the primate, Otius Loran. At 8am, he receives several blessings from the altar of Talos and afterwards finds a pew for one hour of silence. He gets up at 10am and proceeds to walk around the chapel until he exits at midday. 

He heads for the statue of the Saint of Sancre Tor near the southern gate, then wanders the area for the next four hours. After that, he enters Northern Goods and Trade for two hours of browsing around and chatting with the proprietor Seed-Neeus. At 6pm, he returns to the chapel and eats his dinner on one of the pews for two hours. After four more hours in the chapel, he heads down to the chapel hall and finds his bed at midnight.

He wears an expensive set of upper-class clothing consisting of a blue velvet outfit along with a pair of green velvet shoes. He also carries around a green silk garment and a considerable amount of gold. He knows a standard set of healer spells with extra major restorative magic.

When you meet him for the first time, he will politely welcome you to the Chapel of Stendarr: ''"I'm the chapel healer, Gureryne Selvilo. We're glad to see you paying your respects here at the chapel." He will also provide you with a bit of background information: "In Chorrol, we Highlanders treat our Gods' teachings as rules to live by. Our lives are governed by the Ten Commands."'' If you have installed the Knights of the Nine official plug-in and started the quest Stendarr's Mercy, Gureryne will point you towards newcomer Areldur for information on the Gauntlets of the Crusader: ''"Oh, those. You'll want to speak to Areldur about them. He's in charge of keeping people away from them."

When you ask around town, the citizens of Chorrol will show great gratitude towards their resident healer: "Thank Stendarr for the chapel here in Chorrol. A lovely place, and the healers are excellent."''

 
Notes
There is also a female Dunmer in Tribunal with the name Gureryne Selvilo, although there doesn't appear to be any relation between the two.
