Forsworn Briarheart

Forsworn Briarhearts are higher level male Forsworn that are usually found guarding valuables and chests within Forsworn encampments. The primary attack methods used by Briarhearts are One-Handed melee and Destruction magic, usually fire or frost based. They appear to be partially undead in nature, as the creation process of a Briarheart involves cutting out the warrior's heart and replacing it with the Briar Heart that gives them their name. It is possible to pickpocket their Briar Heart, which instantly kills them. The Dragonborn can see the ceremony of making a Briar Heart warrior at the Bard's Leap Summit and Lost Valley Redoubt, where a pair of Hagravens perform the ritual.
