📋 About This Mod
Eilgird the Guard
gmN2bGnie6k
She used to be an adventurer like you. Then she took an arrow in the knee.
Now she serves as a guard in Whiterun, guarding inside Dragonsreach.
Eilgird misses the days of adventuring and hopes to join a hero for a short (or long) adventure for old time's sake.
Description
Eilgird is a custom voiced guard follower, voice by the lovely Demon Ferret (aka WeaveUsASwiss), with around 270 lines of dialog.
While not recruited, she guards at the main door of Dragonsreach (inside Dragonsreach, where there should have been a second guard but I never saw one).
While off duty, you can find her eating and sleeping in the guards barracks (the one attached to Dragonsreach dungeon).
She is a guard... So if you play as a thief or if you have bounty (especially in Whiterun) she's not the best choice for a follower.
You'll need to have two small-talks with her before being able to recruit her.
If you ask her for her name, her name will change to "Eilgird the Guard" and more dialog options will be available under "Hey Eilgird" dialog.
By default, she is lore friendly, but under her settings ("I need to tell you something") you can enable lore breaking. Currently it enables some extra lore breaking dialog under "Hey Eilgird" and may have additional lore breaking content in the future.
She comments on locations (towns, dungeons and so on). No quest commentary (at this point at least). No romance. Want to know why? Enable lore-breaking and ask her.
Where Is She?
While not recruited, she guards at the main door of Dragonsreach (from the inside).
Her duty hours are 09:00 to 21:00.
After that, she goes to eat and sleep at the guard barracks. The one behind the Bannered Mare, not the one near Whiterun gate.
If she is not in either places (and the time is around 09:00 or 21:00), she might be traveling from the barracks to Dragonsreach or the other way around.
