Jordis the Sword-Maiden

Jordis the Sword-Maiden is a female Nord. She is appointed Housecarl to the Dragonborn by Jarl Elisif the Fair of Solitude after completing five miscellaneous quests for people around Solitude, completing Jarl Elisif's personal request, and purchasing Proudspire Manor for 25,000. If the Dragonborn wears the Amulet of Mara, Jordis will be available for marriage-much like any other Housecarl appointed to you.

Jordis is a potential follower of the Dragonborn. She has high health and her best skills are Heavy Armor, Archery, Block, and One Handed.

Bugs

 * If given an ebony shield, Jordis might think it is a weapon. She sheathes it and uses it as a weapon while the actual weapon stays sheathed. The effects of this have not been tested in battle.
 * When given Necromancer's Robes to carry, they cannot be removed later. The message, "You cannot remove your teammate's starting armor," appears.
 * Jordis may occasionally treat you as an outsider or trespasser when you enter Proudspire Manor even though you're the owner. This can be fixed simply by exiting and re-entering the house.
 * If you marry her, she may disappear during Maramal's speech. To fix it, continue your travels away from Riften for some days and return to the temple of Mara. She will be there and will speak to you about choosing a new house to live in. Sometimes she may be found on the upper wooden catwalk near the Riften main gate, accessible through the back of the row of houses.
 * If Jordis is replaced by a Companion follower for the Companion v Silverhand storyline, when you go to get her back all her inventory will be gone.
 * If a former follower is killed by you accidentally or purposly, their body will appear if you attend the wedding with Jordis causing the task "attend your wedding ceremony" to fail. Jordis will say things like "just leave" and you cannot get married. To fix this, move the body to the basement. and ask both Jordis and Maramal to have another wedding.
 * if married to player and killed accidently or purposly and then resurrected and remarried she will say that she has decided to open shop but you cannot shop there nor can you get your share of the eanings.
 * When coming back to the house Jordis is assigned to, she will sometimes think of you as an outsider with words such as, "You lost" which indicates that she does not know you. She will still follow you and all the regular "follower" commands.
