"I'm no one special, just a miner who swings a pickaxe for his drinking money."
―Karl[src]

Karl is an elderly Nord miner found in Dawnstar. He is involved with a Miscellaneous Quest which can lead to the Thane title being given to the Dragonborn.

Location[]

Karl can be found working the Smelter at the Iron-Breaker Mine, and drinking outside the Windpeak Inn at night.

Interactions[]

Quest all Drunks Have[]

Like all drunks, Karl can be given an alcoholic beverage, in which he will act positively towards the Dragonborn afterward.

Conversations[]

Beitild: "Keep at it. We need to work twice as hard now that fat-headed Leigelf has declared war!" Karl: "We're at war with Leigelf? Isn't he your husband?" Beitild: "No he isn't! He's the enemy, and we are going to crush him." Karl: "Drafted into a war, how could my life get worse?"

Beitild: "Work hard, now! The pride of Iron-Breaker Mine is on the line." Karl: "Pride of the what? This isn't the Legion, boss. We're miners, not soldiers." Beitild: "You'll shut your mouth and get back to work, or you won't be a miner or a soldier by the day's end. Hear me?" Karl: "Uh, yes ma'am."
