===Gossip===
Give me the latest gossip.
*"The Companions? In Jorrvaskr? They're recruiting new members, from what I hear."
*"I assume you saw the Gildergreen? Big tree, all burnt up, in the middle of the Wind District. It's part of the Temple of Kynareth. People want Danica to do something about it, but I don't know what they expect."
*"Been hearing some strange tales of the Jarl's children. Say the one's turning wicked, and the others have an ill-favored look to them. Best to keep clear."
===Stormcloak Victory===
How's life under Stormcloak rule? "Well, the Stormcloak guards drink a lot more than the Imperials did, so I've been making more money lately. On the other hand, they're a violent bunch. Every night a fight breaks out and I end up with a smashed chair or a broken table. So, not much has changed, really."
==Quotes==
*"Come on in. Let me know if you need anything, or take a seat by the fire and I'll send someone over."
*"I enjoy this work well enough, but I'm ready to retire. I've been thinking of selling the inn to Ysolda. Anyway, what do you need?"
*"What can I get you?"
*"Need anything else, just let me know."
*"Hungry tired, or just plain thirsty?"
*"I think I've got some mugs that need scrubbing."
*"If it's work you need, how about chopping up some wood for the fires?"
*"Here for work? Get an axe and bring me all the wood you can chop."
*"I'm just out and about, love. The Bannered Mare can do without me for a bit, I suspect." ―When found outside The Bannered Mare.
*"I don't get much time time off from the tavern, but I enjoy it when I do." ―When found outside The Bannered Mare.
*"I'll get back to the Bannered Mare soon enough. Just need to stretch my legs a bit..." ―When found outside The Bannered Mare.
==Trivia==
*If Hulda dies, Ysolda will take over Hulda's duties as innkeeper.
*Selling firewood to Hulda counts as completing a quest for her. As a reward, inexpensive items can be taken without it counting as stealing.
*She may give the Dragonborn things if they are kind to her.
*Hulda's name is of Norse origin, and most likely means "hidden."
==Bugs==
* If Hulda is killed and Ysolda takes her place, the quest "The Whispering Door" cannot be started. (This is not a bug)
* Even if the Dragonborn is already a member of the Companions, Hulda may still tell them that they are taking new members.
