Valdimar (Hearthfire)

Valdimar is a Nord sorcerer in Hjaalmarch. He is appointed housecarl when the Dragonborn becomes the Thane of Hjaalmarch. He can be found at Highmoon Hall after becoming Thane, unless of course the Dragonborn owns the deed to Windstad Manor, in which case he can be found there.

Interactions
Valdimar can be asked to become a steward for a homestead or married. If the single beds on the second floor of the Main Hall are purchased, he will sleep in the bed on the left.

Valdimar can sometimes be seen patrolling the homestead perimeter up to approximately over 100m from the homestead.

Bugs

 * Valdimar may not appear even if the Dragonborn is Thane. If player appears to have this bug, using the console command player.moveto xx00521D moves Dragonborn to his current location. To fix this, player is to open the console and type "prid xx00521D" without the quotations, then press enter, and type "enable" and press enter again. He should appear and talk to player, provided that Valdimar and Dragonborn are inside Highmoon Hall.
 * Valdimar may be found wandering around far from his designated home. He has been occasionally found outside of Whiterun and walking in Riverwood.
