Helgird

Helgird is a character in Skyrim. She is the Priestess of Arkay of the Hall Of The Dead. During the quest, "Blood On The Ice" she is questioned by the player. She tells the player that the victim's coinpurse was still on her person which shows that the murder was not a robbery. She takes the corpse into the Hall Of The Dead to prepare it for burial. She then tells the player that the slash marks on the victim's body were from a curved blade used by the Nords for embalming the Dead.
