"Hjalti? I've never heard of anyone named Hjalti. Tiber Septim had many names. Maybe that's one of them?"
Eydis[src]

Ghost of Old Hroldan is a Nord ghost who has been haunting Old Hroldan Inn. He has been waiting for "Hjalti" to bring his sword, so that they can be sworn as brothers.

Interactions[]

The Ghost of Old Hroldan[]

Upon arriving at the Inn the first time, Old Hroldan will not be there. He spawns only after sleeping in Tiber Septim's room. After resting in the room, and upon waking, a scream followed by a summoning sound will be heard. This sound means he has spawned in the Inn.

While Eydis is startled by his appearance, talking to him will have him confuse the Dragonborn with his fellow soldier Hjalti. He requests that the Dragonborn deliver Hjalti's Sword to him so that they may be sworn in as brothers. Talking to Eydis will provide the location of the sword.

Upon returning he thanks the Dragonborn, and reteaches some skills (One-Handed and Block) that "Hjalti" may have forgotten, and then disappears.

Dialogue[]

"Hjalti? Is that you? I've been waiting."

Hjalti? Who are you talking about? "You promised me, Hjalti. You promised that when we sacked Hroldan, you would make me your sworn brother. And I've waited. Even after the enemies' arrows dug into my chest and their hammers crushed my bones. I've waited. Give me your sword, Hjalti. That we may become brothers as you promised."
I'll find your sword. "I long to taste battle again."
Who are you? Where are you from? "You don't remember me, Hjalti? Two campaigns we served together. You saved my life time and time again."
I have Hjalti's sword. "It's been an honor to serve you, brother. Remembers our lessons from the sword masters of Alcaire? Let me show you a few things you may have forgotten before we leave Hroldan."
An old sword? That's a fool's errand. "I cannot go into battle without a sword, Hjalti."

Quotes[]
