Balimund

Balimund is a male Nord Blacksmith, living in Riften. He works at The Scorched Hammer located near the marketplace. Possessing the Amulet of Mara, the Dragonborn has the option of marrying Balimund.

Balimund opens up shop as soon as he kneels to work on the Tanning Rack at 7:30 AM. There are stacks of iron/steel ingots that respawn once a month in his house's basement.

Quests
Stoking the Flames: Balmund gives out a miscellaneous quest in which the Dragonborn is required to bring him 10 Fire Salts to fuel his furnace.

Marrying Balimund
The Scorched Hammer makes you a daily profit of 100 gold. You do not have to collect it every day. He will hold onto the amount as it increases until you ask him for it. You can buy or sell weapons, apparel and misc items with him. You can also get Expert Blacksmith training from him.

It is not always a good idea to marry Balimund for a specific reason. He can die during Dragon attacks on Riften or from thieves when he is sitting outside during the night so the player should be warned of this before spending there time doing his side quest to marry him (This happened to me and I got stuck without a spouse).

Asbjorn's Vengeance
If you kill Balimund, Asbjorn Fire-Tamer will send Hired Thugs to kill you.
