Sinyaramen Sinyaramen is an Altmer trader in Sadrith Mora who resides at the Gateway Inn . He is a well known customer of the local Mages Guild where he has custom potions made . He dons extravagant clothing and wears a recognizable crested ring . Sometimes people such as Iniel recall seeing the ring rather than the man himself . Sinyaramen occasionally has information that can be useful to the Nerevarine , but he may need incentives to share what he knows . He does not offer any wares for sale . Personality . Sinyaramen enjoys fraternizing with his fellow Altmers , who are rarely seen in Sadrith Mora . He will take the time to introduce himself to any High Elves who he sees passing through town . He has a strong distaste for vampires , stemming from his grandfather ' s death at the hands of Kjeld and the mistaken belief that his great grandparents were killed by vampires as well . Interactions . Blood Ties . While attempting to determine the fate of vampire Dhaunayne Aundae ' s son , the Nerevarine speaks with Tusamircil at the Sadrith Mora Mages Guild , who recognizes Aundae ' s signet ring as being identical to Sinyaramen ' s . Tusamircil gives the Nerevarine an order of potions to deliver as an incentive to get Sinyaramen talking . After some coaxing , he reveals that the ring belonged to his grandfather . The Nerevarine discovers that Sinyaramen ' s grandfather and Dhaunayne ' s son are one and the same . The son of the Aundae Clan ' s leader had grown up to become a vampire hunter , under the mistaken belief that his mother was killed by a vampire rather than had become one . He later died while performing his duties , slaughtered by a vampire by the name of Kjeld . The Nerevarine does not reveal to Sinyaramen that his great grandmother is alive and is in fact a vampire herself , however his words ultimately result in Dhaunayne ordering Kjeld ' s death . Pledge from Canctunian Ponius . The Nerevarine encounters Sinyaramen while in pursuit of a High Elf trader who embezzled a few thousand gold from the East Empire Company in Ebonheart .

He suggests questioning the locals about a female Telvanni who has been seen accompanying a male High Elf around town . Combat . Sinyaramen is a coward when confronted in battle . He initially draws his iron mace to muster a defense , but quickly flees as he cries for help .

He may call upon his repertoire of dispel spells to remove negative magical effects from himself , or positive effects from his opponents . Conversations . Gateway Inn . First Meeting .
