Cyrodiil/Rilja Stone-Hearth

Rilja Stone-Hearth is a Nord pawnbroker with a stall in the   market who specializes in ancient Nordic artifacts. During the  , she will ask you to collect five ancient Nord weapons for her.

After waking up early at 4am, Rilja spends a couple of hours relaxing and having breakfast in her shack in the slums, before heading off to her market stall at 7am. For the next ten hours she will offer her services, buying and selling weapons, armor, ingredients, hides and miscellaneous items. At 5pm, she heads to the   for some food and drink until 10pm, when she will head home and go straight to bed.

  will tell you: "''I'm envious of Rilja's Nordic artifact collection. Girl's honoring our ancestors.''" Indeed, Rilja's pride in her Nord heritage is evident when meeting her: "''I'm proud of my ancestry, as should all Nords be.", "Here to browse my fine selection of Ancient Nordic items?" and "A slice of Nordic heritage, right here in Cyrodiil.''" 

Inquiring into her collection's provenance, will net you: "Many of them I collected during my adventuring days. I used to wander Skyrim in search of opportunity and adventure. I went through my fair share of Nordic ruins back in those days, and I took a liking to the Ancient Nordic metalwork. So, I began to collect them as I adventured, and when I finally decided to settle down, I had quite an extensive stock." 

If you then ask why she's selling it, she appears puzzled: "''Why not? It's not something you see up for sale very often, and I think there are plenty of Nords here in Bruma who'd like a little memento of their history." If you ask how business is going, she says: "It's doing well. A lot of travelers tend to buy from me, as well as young Nords who are soul-searching, trying to find their Nordic heritage here, in Cyrodiil.''"

Ask her why she's in Cyrodiil and she explains: "''The same reason I sell Ancient Nordic artifacts: so that the young Nords here in Bruma can be reminded of their roots. Bruma has all the surface trappings of Skyrim: the snow, the cold. But Skyrim is so much more than that, something Bruma isn't and can never be. It's about the Nordic ruins dotting the landscape, about the dragon walls. It's about the diversity: Whiterun and the Reach, the Pale and Eastmarch. That variation of Nordic culture is something Cyrodiil doesn't have. I'll be content if my presence here reminds just a few Nords that they're not just Imperials with more facial hair and deeper voices.''"

Rilja wears   and a pair of fine boots, and is armed with a unique  . She also carries the   to her shack and a random selection of gold, lockpicks, gems, jewelry, food and drink. 

Her shack is next to  's and has an adept-locked door. Compared to the other shacks in the slums, it is much better kept and furnished, with banners, furs and Nordic decorations adorning on the walls. Inside you will find a bed, a fireplace with a cooking pot, some Nordic burial urns, an ancient Nord helmet, an ancient Nord sword, a Nord war horn and a coin purse. Her market stall has a few pieces of Nordic tableware on display, as well as a war horn.
