Viarmo is an Altmer and the headmaster of the Bards College in Solitude.

Contents

BackgroundEdit

He serves as the Master of Ceremonies for the Burning of King Olaf Festival held every year. He spends his mornings at The Winking Skeever with his fellow instructors and the rest of the day tending to the college. As a neutral observer, he tries not to concern himself with Skyrim's politics, yet recognizes the significance of the Dragon Crisis and the impact it will have on history.

InteractionsEdit

Viarmo will offer some words of advice pertaining to being a good bard. Ironically, he stresses that bards record history - they do not make it; despite the adventures of the Dragonborn. He will also have various conversations with the other instructors, typically regarding the students.

Due to the death of High King Torygg, his widow, Elisif the Fair, bans the Burning of King Olaf festival in Solitude. Viarmo employs the Dragonborn with recovering King Olaf's Verse, a poetic tome that serves as proof to the legitimacy of the festival.

BugsEdit

This section contains bugs related to Viarmo. Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:

  1. Confirm all bugs with other editors on the talk page before adding them below.
  2. Always try reloading an old save first, before asking for assistance.
  3. Don't discuss possible bug fixes or origins. Leave those and all other first-person-anecdotes on the talk page, not the article.
  4. Always add  360  ,  PS3  , and  PC   to clarify which system the bug appears on.
  • After completing Tending the Flames, Viarmo will still be seen holding the torch he used to burn Olaf's effigy for the remainder of the player's playthrough. Reverse pickpocketing a torch into his inventory while he is asleep in the Bard's College fixes this issue.
  • After a while the torch may be replaced by a woodcutter's axe for some reason. It can be pickpocketed away with the appropriate perk.
  • He may remain seated in the palace foyer, waiting for the performance for proceed. Selecting the ready option may complete the quest objective and initiate the next step in speaking to Jorn, bypassing the performance entirely.
  • He may hold a torch in his left hand and can even carry a two-handed weapon in his right, as if it was a one handed weapon
