Sven

"This guy is a bastard who plays his frilly songs and fist fights with his mates when drunk"

- John Gell

Sven is a Nord bard. He lives in the Nordic village of Riverwood with his mother, Hilde.

Background
Sven is interested in Camilla Valerius the sister of Lucan Valerius. But he has a rival, a Wood Elf called Faendal, who is a local archer who also has an interest in Camilla. If asked about a girl, he will give a quest that involves delivering letters to Camilla.

His older mother Hilde also lives in Riverwood. Most people find her crazy since she always shouts that she has seen a dragon.

Interactions
It is possible to recruit Sven as a Follower, if you complete his quest, or otherwise find a way to raise his favor. His highest combat stat is Two-Handed, and he is also a competant Archer. His stats are geared towards Light Armor rather than Heavy.

Sven is able to join The Blades, (though he may glitch and return to Riverwood instead of staying at the temple)

If the player character kills Faendal, he/she will recieve a letter from a courier from Sven stating his knowledge that you killed him, but also states he is thankful.

Songs
Sven is known to sing the following songs upon request for no fee: He may also sing Age of Oppression. (Stormcloaks Faction) Bugs He also sings a tribute to the Dragonborn upon completion of the main questline.
 * 1) The Age of Aggression (Imperial Faction)
 * 2) Ragnar the Red
 * Sven will occasionally whilst on your adventures 'Emit' music similar to the sound a flute makes, but he will no be holding a flute and will stand in place instead of following you, to fix this problem simply fast travel to a different location or start a conversation with him.
