Nirnroot (Skyrim)

Locations
Nirnroot can be found throughout Skyrim at a lake or river's edge. The plant makes a sound somewhat akin to chimes and a faint white glow, making it easier to find at night than during the day. Crimson Nirnroot, a cousin to Nirnroot, also grows abundantly in Skyrim.

Merchants

 * Babette at the Falkreath Sanctuary sells 1 Nirnroot, which replenishes every 2 days.
 * Angeline Morrard of Angeline's Aromatics in Solitude sells 2 Nirnroot that replenish every 2 days. She displays a third Nirnroot in her shop; it cannot be acquired without stealing.

Natural growths

 * 3 directly southwest of Half-Moon Inn, upstream from Evergreen Grove, half way to Hunter's Rest. An Alchemy Skill Book can also be found nearby.
 * 4 north of Dawnstar. Hit the beaches to the north and there are at least four of them among the islands close by and on the Horker beach to the west.
 * 8 on Sarethi Farm
 * 30+ Nirnroot Plants can be found along Skyrim's northwestern shoreline. A one-day walk along the coast can also result in 70+ Grass Pods and plenty of Canis Root.

Regrowing patches
Unlike Nirnroot in Cyrodiil, it does eventually grow back once harvested, despite in-game claims that it does not. Also unlike Nirnroot in Cyrodiil, this ingredient can also be bought from Alchemy Merchants and sometimes looted from enemies.

Quests

 * Ingun Black-Briar, an apprentice alchemist, asks the Dragonborn to obtain 20 Nirnroot to help replenish the diminishing supply of her mentor and teacher.

Cultural uses
The Gourmet's recipe for Potage le Magnifique in his book, Uncommon Taste does not call for a Nirnoot, but if the Dragonborn impersonates the cook at Castle Dour, during the assassination attempt of Emperor Titus Mede II, a Nirnroot can be added to the casserole as a secret ingredient. Gianna, the Castle's chief cook comments that nirnoot is a common spice in stews and other dishes in Skyrim.

Lore
Herbalist Chivius Regelliam believed a solar event known as Sun's Death severely depleted the presence of Nirnoot in Tamriel, when once the herb was abundant. Although largely unstudied, the Nirnoot glows a bluish-white and can be found underground, surviving entirely without sunlight.
