- "Tell my family I fought bravely."
- ―Vilod[src]
Vilod was a villager who resided in Helgen.
Background
During Alduin's attack on Helgen, he is fatally wounded while assisting Imperial soldiers.
Ralof will mention him during the intro, wondering if he still makes a special type of mead with juniper berries mixed in. If Helgen is revisited, several bottles of the mead can be found in the burned inn.
Vilod shouts "Justice!" after the first Stormcloak Soldier is beheaded, though Ralof speaks of him in a manner that seems friendly enough, indicating they must have been on good terms in Ralof's youth.
