Skyrim:Faleen

Faleen is a Redguard warrior and the housecarl of Jarl Igmund of Markarth. She can be found in Understone Keep. Another inhabitant of the keep is romantically interested in her, as revealed in The Book of Love. If Igmund has been removed as the Jarl of Markarth, she can be found with him in the Blue Palace. She wears a random set of steel armor and is armed with a steel sword with a steel shield, supplemented by a long bow with twelve steel arrows. She also carries a belted tunic and a random selection of common loot and gold.

Conversations
She can be overheard discussing the topic of Forsworn:

:Igmund: "Raerek, how is The Reach faring against this Forsworn menace?"
:Raerek: "Things are bad, Igmund. Our forces are barely able to keep the Forsworn in check. Merchants are reporting the loss of more of their shipments."
:Igmund: "This is why I say we take the fight to them. Gather the Legion and drive those blasted beasts out of the Reach for good."
:Faleen: "And what do Legion soldiers know about the hills the Reach? And the caves that make up those hills? The Forsworn can hide and ambush every assault."
:Raerek: "The safety of the city and our settlements must be our only concern, Igmund. The rest of the Reach is on its own."
:Igmund: ''"Cowards, the both of you. My father would not sit idly back and wait while evil men take over his lands. We're done discussing this for now."

She can be overheard discussing the topic of Markarth trade:

:Raerek: "My Jarl, we need to discuss Markarth's collapsing trade with the other Holds."
:Igmund: "Of course there's a collapse in trade. The Stormcloaks stalk every road and the Forsworn attack every caravan."
:Faleen: "Not to mention the rebels completely control Windhelm and all of Eastmarch hold."
:Igmund: "Why do you pester me with battles we can't win? I need my steward to plan for victory, not nag me with every ill account."
:Raerek: "Forgive me for worrying about the future of Markarth. The lifeblood of the city is gold, Igmund, and it doesn't stop beating because there's a war on."
:Igmund: "Very well. I'll send the request for additional Legionaries to protect trade to the other Imperial holds. Hopefully, Solitude can spare more men."

She can be overheard discussing the topic of Silver-Blood family with Raerek and Igmund:

:Raerek: "Igmund, we need to talk about the Silver-Blood family."
:Igmund: "What about them? They seem loyal enough."
:Raerek: "Loyal? Thongvor supports Ulfric and his Stormcloaks! We should imprison the entire family as a precaution."
:Faleen: "I second that, Igmund. Who knows what that family will do for power? They could be working with the Forsworn for all we know."
:Igmund: "Enough! We can't imprison the very people who own the jail we would be throwing them into. The Silver-Bloods are to be left alone, am I clear?"
:Raerek: "Yes, my Jarl."
:Faleen: "Yes, my Jarl."

Cut Conversations
In a cut part of the Stormcloak questline, there was going to be a siege of Markarth that was much like the Battle for Whiterun. Upon reaching the throne room, you would be greeted to this exchange:



Bugs
If Faleen is the target of a radiant quest (such as Hired Muscle), you will be told to go Markarth even if she has relocated to the Blue Palace.  However, the quest marker will point to the correct place.
