"Working hard gives a man reason for drinking hard. Well, that and putting up with a wife like mine."
―Horgeir[src]

Horgeir is a Nord lumberjack who resides in Dragon Bridge. He owns the local lumber mill and, according to his wife, is a lazy, good-for-nothing drunk. He says that she is spiteful and unloving.

Interactions[]

Chop Wood[]

He will buy any firewood given to him for five Gold per piece.

Dragon's Breath Mead[]

Horgeir's wife Olda will ask the Dragonborn to retrieve his favorite mead from a secret hiding spot. Once they retrieve it, they can choose to either return it to her or Horgeir. If they decide to return it to Horgeir, he will offer them a Block skill increase.

Dialogue[]

"They say a strong drink, a sharp axe, and a good woman is all a Nord need to be happy. Two out of three's not bad."

Is your lumber selling better since the war started? "Damn right it has. Demand's never been so high, at least not since I built the new mill."
Sounds like you're having some trouble with your wife. "Her name's Olda. If you've met her, then you probably already know what I'm talking about. I swear that woman is the most spiteful shrew in all Skyrim. I think there's a chunk of ice where her heart ought to be."
How old is that stone bridge near the town? "Hard to say. It's ancient, that much we know for sure. It was here long before the town itself. I just hope the bridge survives the war. It's the only place you can cross the Karth river for a long way in either direction. Could be if one side wants to keep the other from coming across, they might try to knock it down."
Dragon's Breath Mead

"You been to Markarth? They've got a tavern called the Silver-Blood Inn. Best ale this side of Skyrim."

Olda wanted me to steal this Dragon's Breath Mead. "Shor's Crown, that woman never gives up. I guess that's why I married her. You're a real friend saving this mead from her. Here, let me show you how to block a punch that might be coming from some angry spouse, huh?"

Quotes[]

  • "You're a well-traveled sort. I can tell just looking at you."
  • "Money's been tight since the mill's burned down. My wife won't let me forget it."
