- "I lost my own daughter to the Imperial dogs, and by Talos I'll not lose anyone else!"
- ―Vulwulf Snow-Shod[src]
Vulwulf Snow-Shod is a Nord Great War veteran in Riften. He is the patriarch of the Snow-Shod family.
Personality and Traits
Spending most of his time at the Bee and Barb, Vulwulf often promotes Ulfric Stormcloak and the goal of a liberated Skyrim. If initiated in dialogue, he will often be asked to be left alone, as he is mourning the loss of his daughter, Lilija.
Background
The Great War
Vulwulf served as a soldier for the Empire against the Aldmeri Dominion in the Great War. During the war, he met Nura, a healer, who would be his future wife.
Aftermath and the Stormcloaks
After the war, he moved to Riften with his wife. As worshipers of Talos, he claims, they became furious with the Empire when the White-Gold Concordat was signed. Thus, when Ulfric Stormcloak started the Civil War for Skyrim's independence, Vulwulf and his wife began supporting the Stormcloaks. Together with Nura, he had two sons, Asgeir Snow-Shod and Unmid Snow-Shod, and a daughter named Lilija. Much to his content, the oldest son, Unmid, became a housecarl to the Jarl of Riften, and his daughter, Lilija, joined the Stormcloaks as a healer, only to fall a few months later, despite being a non-combatant. Vulwulf mourns her death deeply, and it has caused him to become bitter, and highly aggressive towards anyone he suspects of being an Imperial sympathizer.
Interactions
Hired Muscle
Vulwulf is a possible target needed to be intimidated by initiating a brawl.
The Book of Love
When offered The Warmth of Mara, Vulwulf would respond with doubt in Mara, stating that she is not doing anything about the war in which hundreds of Stormcloak soldiers die in for no good reason.
Bound Until Death
Vulwulf appears at the wedding ceremony of his son Asgeir and his fiance Vittoria Vici. He strongly disapproves of their wedding, claiming that there are "lots of eager Nord women" and considers the marriage to be the loss of a son. Vulwulf will claim that Vittoria's death was an Imperial conspiracy to blame the Stormcloaks.
Trivia
- Vulwulf talks to the Dragonborn with disdain if they are an Imperial, regardless of which side they have chosen in the Civil War quest line.
- Reciprocally, if the Dragonborn is a Nord, he will greet them in a joyful tone and ask them if they fight against the Empire.
- Sometimes, he will throw insults at Talen-Jei when the latter states that he has had enough to drink for one night.
- If Vulwulf is killed, his body may appear at his son's wedding. The same applies for his wife, Nura.
