Narfi is a Nord beggar who lives in the ruins of his family home on the other side of the river in Ivarstead.
Background
Narfi is insane, and dresses in dirty rags. He has gone crazy because he awaits his sister, Reyda, who has been missing for a year. He still awaits her return as the local innkeeper, Wilhelm, explains.
Interactions
The Straw that Broke
Narfi will ask if the Dragonborn can look for his sister and recommends speaking to Wilhelm concerning her whereabouts. Her corpse is in a nearby river.
