Brina Merilis

"I wasn't born in Skyrim, but when I served in the Legion this land became my home."

- Brina Merilis

Brina Merilis is a retired Nord Legionnaire and a resident of Dawnstar. She will become Jarl of the Pale if the Legion occupies Dawnstar.

Personality and traits
She is a stern woman who tolerates no foolishness from those under her command. She does have a warm side that sometimes shows, but this is rarely seen due to the Civil War.

The Imperial Legion
Brina didn't come from Skyrim originally, but from Cyrodiil, she came here with the Legion. Once she joined the legion she was renowned throughout the Legion for her leadership and her tactical ability. She met her man-at-arms and true friend, Horik Halfhand.

Dawnstar
After she retired from the legion she ended up in Dawnstar with Horik. The Jarl, Skald the Elder, doesn't trust her because of her past and accuses her of espionage in favor of the Empire. However, most of the citizens of Dawnstar would rather go to her to get guidance than the Jarl and so she's one of the most prominent people in Dawnstar.

Hired Muscle
Brina is a possible target needed to be intimidated by initiating a brawl.

Reunification of Skyrim
If the Dragonborn joins the side of the Empire in the Civil War, and takes Fort Dunstad in their favor, Skald the Elder will be exiled from The Pale and as a natural choice Brina will take his place.

Liberation of Skyrim
If she becomes the Jarl during "Season Unending," and the Dragonborn later retakes The Pale for the Stormcloaks, she and Horik will be exiled to The Winking Skeever in Solitude.
