Kerah

Kerah is a Redguard jewelry merchant found in Markarth. She is the wife of Endon and the mother of Adara. They also have a son, Cade, who is currently fighting with the Stormcloaks.
==Interactions==
===The Forsworn Conspiracy===
Margaret is shopping at Kerah's stall when Weylin attacks her suddenly, beginning the quest. Kerah can be spoken to by the Dragonborn in order to deduce what happened, though she will be in disbelief, unsure of why Margaret would be attacked. During this time, she will refuse to sell her wares due to what happened, similarly to Hogni Red-Arm.
===Tailing the Thief===
If the Dragonborn steals anything from her, she may send Hired Thugs to teach him/her a lesson.
===Calcelmo's Ring===
She gives the unmarked and miscellaneous quest "Deliver the Ring to Calcemo."
==Dialogue==
;First encounter if Margret died
"Margret. He... he killed her. Right in front of me."
:Did you know her? Who was she? "She's a traveler, from the Imperial City. Came by every day looking for jewelry for her relatives back home. Why would anyone want to kill her? It doesn't make any sense."
:I was actually looking to buy something. "I'm sorry. I don't think I can to sell anything right now."
"What's happening to this city?"
;First encounter if Margret survived
"He... he tried to kill Margret. Right in front of me."
:Do you know why he was after her? "No. She's such a nice woman. Comes by every day looking for jewelry for her family in Cyrodiil. Is it because she's a noble? Why would anyone want to kill her? It doesn't make any sense."
:I was actually looking to buy something. "I'm sorry. I don't think I can to sell anything right now."
"What's happening to this city?"
;General dialogue after several days
"I have a necklace that would look lovely on you, or on a... special someone."
:This city looks so ancient. Have you been here long? "My family came here centuries ago. We've made a good living smithing the silver that flows through the city. But you probably wanted to know about the fancy carvings and stonework, didn't you? Travelers always do."
:I have some questions about Margret. "Please. I don't want to talk about it. All that blood. If you want answers, ask at the inn. She told me she was staying there."
"Come back if you need a new ring or necklace."
==Conversations==
;The Forsworn Conspiracy
Kerah: "A bit of jewelry for your journey home?"
Margret: "Oh, this pendant would look lovely on my sister."
Weylin: "The Reach belongs to the Forsworn!"
(Weylin is either intercepted before stabbing Margret or succeeds before trying to attack Kerah before being killed himself)
Weylin: "I die for my people."
Kerah: "By the Divines, the Forsworn are here in the city!"
Markarth City Guard: "Everyone stay back. The Markarth city guard have this all under control. There are no Forsworn here."
;Endon
Kerah: "What am I supposed to do? Never leave the house? You want that, Endon?"
Endon: "You're closing the stall, and that's final."
Kerah: "You want to give up now? Out of fear? Is that what we're teaching our daughter?"
Adara: "Mama, why are you and papa fighting?"
Endon: "We're not fighting, we're just...Why don't I get you something to eat? Mam and papa will talk later."
Endon: "How are the necklaces selling, my wife? We could make more."
Kerah: "I'm afraid the necklaces aren't selling well. Customers aren't interested in medallions and engraved symbols of other provinces."
Endon: "Hmph. Used to be everyone in Markarth wore a necklace showing his home province, from Elsweyr, to High Rock, to Hammerfell and Cyrodiil..."
Kerah: "We don't take travelers from Hammerfell or High Rock anymore, Endon. Only natives from Markarth and Skyrim."
Endon: "As they always have, along with those crazed Forsworn. They've driven off the color that used to make this city great.
Kerah: "I need to get back to the customers. We'll talk more of this when I get home tonight."
Endon: "Markarth has changed, but the inn is as lively as ever."
Kerah: "The city hasn't changed that much, dear. Some old dwarven stones gathering the same old moss."
Endon: "The stones aren't what bother me, love. The Forsworn are tearing the Reach apart."
Kerah: "Let's not talk about this over dinner."
;Adara and Endon
Kerah: "What should we have tonight?"
Endon: "Something simple, a stew perhaps."
Adara: "Stew again, papa? I want steak."
Kerah: "Maybe we could spend a litle bit more and buy some meat, Endon."
Endon: "May be. Let me think about it."
Adara: "Mama, when is Cade coming home?"
Kerah: "He's off fighting, Adara, with the Stormcloaks. He'll return when the war is over."
Endon: "Our son joining the Stormcloaks. If this war had never happened, Cade would have joined the Imperial Legion, like grandfather."
Kerah: "Endon, we talked about this... Are you still disappointed in Cade's choice?"
Endon: "No. I think if I was a young man, I would have done the same."
Adara: "Can I join the Legion when I grow up?"
Endon: "If there's still a Legion left, Adara. I'm sure you'd make a great soldier. Just like your brother."
Kerah: "We sold all those lovely little necklaces you brought me today. Did you make them yourself?"
Adara: "That's right! Papa helped me with the clasps, but I did all the links on my own."
Endon: "Adara bends the silver so naturally. Grandmother would have cried if she saw how deft our daughter has become."
Kerah: "Well, I'm proud of both of you. I haven't been so busy since those nobles from Solitude come into the city three years ago."
Endon: "I miss those days, before the Forsworn took up arms again, when you could walk the roads in peace."
Kerah: "Endon, dear, please don't.... Save your frustrations for work."
Endon: "You're right, dear. I'm sorry to worry you."
