Froki Whetted-Blade

"Well, look at this. Another city rat crawled outside the walls. I don't suppose you've come up here to tell old Froki about your supposed Divines?"

- Froki Whetted-Blade

 is an elderly Nord hunter who can be found in Froki's Shack with his grandson, Haming.

Background
Froki is quite reclusive by nature and prefers to keep away from city folk. He vehemently rejects Alessia's Cyrodilic pantheon of the Eight Divines, calling them stolen or imposter gods. Rather, he follows the ancient Nordic pantheon and in particular he venerates Kyne, warrior widow of Shor.

He is also the father of Torolf, a resident of Helgen who was killed during Alduin's attack. Torolf's son Haming was left an orphan, so Froki took it upon himself to care for him.

Kyne's Sacred Trials
When questioned about the Kyne's sacred trials, Froki will explain:

"It's an old Nord Tradition, a test to prove your worth in the eyes of Kyne. Show that you're a hunter and no simple butcher. Kyne teaches us to respect the beasts and blesses the hunter who will face their champions. True Nord hunters are those who survive the Trials."

He then tasks the Dragonborn to hunt seven spectral creatures as part of the trial.

Froki's Bow
During the Sacred Trials, Froki's Bow can be found in Graywinter Watch. Returning it will cause him to reminisce about the past, but he will refuse to accept it and instead allows the Dragonborn to keep it.

"I don't believe it. I made that bow myself. Been through some messes with it, let me tell you. You know what? I want you to keep it. My great hunts are behind me, but yours are yet to come."

Sovngarde
If he is killed before travelling to Sovngarde, he can be met there in the mists. He is also one of the few characters that can be killed during this quest.

Trivia

 * It's quite odd to note that his shack is far off the beaten path and that he lives with his grandson but there is only one bed in the whole shack.
 * Despite the fact that he is a hunter, Froki is never seen outside the hut.
