Dinya Balu

"Riften is drowning in a sea of sin and wickedness and it's my personal mission to let everyone know that the warmth of Mara can see them through."

- Dinya Balu

Dinya Balu is female Dunmer who resides in the Temple Of Mara in Riften. She is also married to another Redguard priest of Mara named Maramal, whom offers the Dragonborn the ability to marry an NPC.

Background
She is a priestess of Mara, the goddess of love, in the Temple of Mara. If the Dragonborn requests Mara's blessing from her, she tells the hero that she will do so only after they help fulfill Mara's will.

Quests
She starts the quest The Book of Love.

She also gives a miscellaneous quest in which the Dragonborn must distribute The Warmth of Mara within Riften. To complete this, the Dragonborn must talk to 20 different Riften residents and give them The Warmth of Mara book. Despite the fact that their reactions are very different, it does not affect the further interactions with the Dragonborn.
