Erich the Unworthy

"Keep your distance friend, if you want to keep your head."

- Erich the Unworthy  is a male Nord residing in Thirsk.

Background
Erich is known to have defended Thirsk countless times from attackers. While a great warrior he has made many enemies of the members of the mead hall, who often call him a "swine" or "meanest there is".

When the priest of the Imperial Cult Mirisa came to teach the warriors of Thirsk about the divines, she had insulted mead, calling it an evil sin. In his anger Erich took Mirisa captive and locked her in his chambers for atleast a month. While Skjoldr Wolf-Runner knew he had done something to Mirisa and the other members of Thirsk suspected him, he kept quiet and didn't tell anyone.

He has a short temper and if talked to enough can be provoked into attacking the Nerevarine. This is the best way to get the key to his room, as killing him in self defense is legal and the lock on his door is at level 50. Additionally, it can also be pickpocketed, but this can prove to be difficult.

The Missing Missionary
Erich took Mirisa captive and locked her up in his chambers for insulting mead. All members of Thirsk will tell the Nerevarine to ask Erich about what happened to Mirisa, but he will pretend he know's nothing. He carries the key to the room which Mirisa ia locked in.

The Mead Hall Massacre
After the attack, Erich will be killed by the Udyrfrykte.

Trivia
