Idgrod Ravencrone

"I stand where I have always stood. In Morthal."

- Idgrod Ravencrone

Idgrod Ravencrone is the Jarl of Morthal and Hjaalmarch. She sides with the Empire in the Civil War of Skyrim. She reports to be a seer of psychic visions and dreams.

Relationships
She associates herself with Falion, a newcomer to Hjaalmarch who is a wizard, thus being mistrusted by the community members of Morthal. However, even though he is disliked by the rest of the town, she claims he is more of a help than a bother. Several individuals within Morthal despise her for the fact she accepted Falion into her court and how she seems not to bother with most "petty" problems in her hold.

Idgrod has a daughter, Idgrod the Younger, and a sickly son, Joric.

Diplomatic Immunity
If the Dragonborn has assisted her or become Thane of Hjaalmarch, she recognizes who the Dragonborn is and, if prompted, provides the necessary distraction for the Dragonborn to slip away from Elenwen's party and continue the quest into the kitchen. Her attendance at the party, whilst the other Jarls did not attend, is unjustified. Her justification for causing the scene is that "an old woman can get away with anything." Idgrod walks over to Razelan and begin making a scene, using him as the unwitting victim.

Civil War
If the Dragonborn decides to side with the Stormcloaks, Idgrod is replaced as Jarl of Morthal. Idgrod can then be found in the Blue Palace in Solitude, along with the other replaced Jarls, Stewards, and Housecarls.

Laid to Rest
Speaking with a citizen about the burned down home in Morthal prompts the Dragonborn to seek out Idgrod. She needs the event to be investigated, since a young girl, Helgi, died in the blaze. Investigating the site at night, the Dragonborn learns that the girl's ghost haunts the place. Idgrod claims Morthal is alive with spiritual energy and says to check the graveyard.
