Helgird

Helgird is an Elder priestess of Arkay who can be found in the Hall of the Dead in Windhelm.
==Interactions==
===Blood on the Ice===
During the quest "Blood on the Ice," she is questioned by the Dragonborn. She tells them that the victim Susanna's coinpurse was still intact, which means she was not killed for gold. She takes the corpse into the Hall of the Dead to prepare it for burial. She then tells the Dragonborn that the slash marks on the victim's body were from a curved blade used by the Nords for embalming the dead.
==Dialogue==
;Blood on the Ice
"This is a shame."
:Did you see what happened here? "Eehhh... no. Sorry. But I did notice that her coinpurse was still intact, so whoever did this wasn't after gold. I'm going to keep preparing the body, if you'll excuse me."
After getting permission to aid in the investigation:
"Large diagonal cut from the left shoulder..."
:Have you noticed anything strange about the body? "Well, she's dead. But I guess that's not unusual, at least not for somebody in here. I mean, someone who's not me, that is. Sorry, was only joking with you."
::So, the body? "Oh, yes, right, of course!"
::It's all right. But have you found anything? "Not really."
::"The only unusual thing is the shape of the cuts. They look like they were made with... well, the ancient Nords used these kinds of curved blades when they embalmed their dead. I don't know who in Windhelm would even have something like that. Other than me, of course."
:::Let me know if you find anything else. "I wouldn't hold out too much hope."
:::Did you have anything to do with this? "I'm too busy tending to the dead to spend my time making more of them. And I wouldn't very well tell you about the cuts if I had made them, now would I?"
"Now, I really got to get back to the body. Lot of work to prepare her for the grave."
