Gralnach is a Nord child who lives at Heartwood Mill with his mother Grosta, located in The Rift. His father is Leifnarr, who has gone missing.

Interactions

Upon meeting him, he will ask the Dragonborn to play a game with him, either Tag or Hide-and-Seek. If the Dragonborn refuses to play, Gralnach will never open the dialogue window again.

If Tag is chosen, no other NPC besides Gralnach can be tagged, and immediately upon entering the nearby mill house, the miscellaneous quest will be completed and Gralnach will stop playing Tag.

If the Dragonborn casts a spell near him, like most children, he will ask to be made invisible.

If the Dragonborn kills Grosta, Gralnach will be cross with the Dragonborn and will say, "I hope monsters come and eat you" or "Go away!".

If she is killed by others (such as Dragons, Wolves, etc.), he will say, "I can't believe my mother's gone. Now what'll I do?".

In turn, he will be sent to Honorhall Orphanage after her death. If Hearthfire is installed, he will be available for adoption.
