"There's an old saying that only a Nord can grow crops here in Skyrim. I don't think anyone else would have the patience for it. It takes half a day to just dig a planting row in the cold, stony earth here. What else can we do, eat rock and ice?"
―Hillevi

Hillevi Cruel-Sea is a Nord merchant who sells food in Windhelm's marketplace.

Background

She is the wife of Torsten Cruel-Sea and the mother of Grimvar Cruel-Sea. Being the wife of Torsten she gets her crops from Hollyfrost Farm, and often comments about how hard it is to farm in the area.

Interactions

Hillevi is a possible victim that needs to be rescued from the Broken Helm Hollow.

Deceiving the Herd

Quests

​Trivia

  • According to Jora she visits the Temple of Talos quite often, but is never seen there by the Dragonborn.
  • When delivering the nightshade extract, if the item is examined in the Dragonborn's inventory, it appears labeled as "Nightshade Extact".
  • You don't say.
  • She has a key to Hjerim (it can be pickpocketed from her), so if the Dragonborn steals that from her, he or she can start the quest Blood on the Ice without buying the house.
