Not to be confused with Gilasi.

Gisli is a Nord noblewoman in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim who lives in Solitude, and the sister of Erikur, a Thane of the city. They live together in Erikur's House. She strongly dislikes her brother and is often referred to as "Erikur's sister" rather than "Gisli" by others, which angers her.

Interactions[]

The Ultimate Feast[]

  •  Creation Club   The Dragonborn is tasked to collect all of the food in her note.

Dialogue[]

That doesn't seem like a good attitude.

  • "If you're looking for a good attitude go see the Bards. They'll fake it for you if nothing else. If you're looking for truth instead, see Noster. He's a good example of what life has to offer. And if you're just looking to feel good, go get some Spiced Wine from Evette. But whatever you do, just leave me alone."
  • (If Noster Eagle-Eye and Evette San have been killed) "If you're looking for a good attitude go see the Bards. But you won't get any better than this from me."

So Erikur is your brother? "Yes. My older brother and the person you probably want to be speaking to right now. But really, since Torygg's death, Falk Firebeard wields the true power of the Jarl's court. My brother is nothing more than a pompous little fop."

If Erikur has been killed:

So Erikur was your brother? "Yes. My older brother. He was a bit of a fop, really. And truth be told, since Torygg's death, he had no real power in court. But still... He didn't deserve to die."

Conversations[]

Erikur

Erikur: "Sister, how is my fortune coming along?" Gisli: "Profits continue to rise. The warehouse continues to bring in good revenues, and rent on your stores in the Well is acceptable." Erikur: "I'm afraid 'acceptable' just isn't acceptable anymore. I'm sure they can spare a few more coins in monthly rent." Gisli: "Yes, brother. I'm sure they'll agree it's a fair price to pay in order to avoid interacting with you on a daily basis." Erikur: "Fair or not, they'll pay it, and that's all I need to care about. Bear that in mind, sister."

Erikur: "That clumsy maid at the palace spilled wine on my best suit. Sister, I believe it's time for a replacement." Gisli: "I can commission one from the Radiant Raiment. It won't be cheap, but if you want the best, they're the only choice." Erikur: "I swear, those scheming elves charge us twice what anyone else would pay." Gisli: "Of course they do, brother. You keep raising their rent."

Trivia[]

  • The Creation Kit shows that Gisli is in the faction "JobStewardFaction," indicating that she was set to become Steward at some point. After the quest "Boethiah's Calling," another quest named "Boethiah's Bidding" was meant to occur in which Elisif the Fair could be killed by the Last Dragonborn. After completing it, Erikur would become the new Jarl, with Gisli possibly serving as his Steward.
  • There is an old Icelandic tale of three brothers named Gísli, Eiríkur and Helgi, whose names bear resemblance to those of Gisli and Erikur.
