Not to be confused with Nazaneen or Nahzhem.

Nazeem is a Redguard citizen in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim who resides in the upstairs room of The Drunken Huntsman. He, along with his wife Ahlam, owns Chillfurrow Farm, which is located south of Whiterun.

During waking hours, he visits the marketplace and inspects the wares on display, while conversing with, and insulting, various merchants. In the afternoon, he wanders around town, and then finishes his day by sitting in The Drunken Huntsman. He also goes to bed there instead of Chillfurrow Farm.

"Do you get to the Cloud District very often? Oh, what am I saying, of course you don't."
―Nazeem[src]

He speaks in a condescending manner toward the Dragonborn and the citizens of Whiterun, and claims to advise Balgruuf the Greater on political matters. Ironically, he has never actually visited Dragonsreach itself. The Jarl and, indeed, all of his court, never talk about him, nor is he ever present at the Thalmor Embassy at social parties.

Conversations

Anoriath

Nazeem: "Do you have anything even remotely fresh?" Anoriath: "I can assure you, it's all fresh. I hunt the game myself, every day." Nazeem: "Hmm. As you say." Anoriath: "Maybe you'd like to try the horker? Or some beef?" Nazeem: "You don't prepare the meat with any of those strange Elven spices, do you?" Anoriath: "Ahhhh... No, no Elven spices; just some salt, to preserve it. You're not afraid of salt, are you?" Nazeem: "I'm not 'afraid' of anything. I simply prefer quality merchandise. No, no this meat won't do at all. Too much fat, and it all smells... wrong." Anoriath: "Suit yourself, then. The woods are that way. Outside the walls, walk straight ahead. Can't miss them. Good luck on your hunt." Nazeem: "Good day."

Carlotta Valentia

Nazeem: "These fruits and vegetables are disappointing, Carlotta." Carlotta: "I get them fresh from the farms daily, Nazeem." Nazeem: "If you were getting them from my farm, they'd be twice as fresh."

Ysolda

Nazeem: "Ah, Ysolda was it? What brings you to the market?" Ysolda: "I'm here to buy food, Nazeem. I suppose you don't need to worry about that." Nazeem: "Owning a farm does have its advantages."

Quotes

  • "Oh, it took years, but I earned my way to the top. I own Chillfurrow Farm, you see. Very successful business. Obviously."
  • "I actually advise the Jarl on political matters. My input is invaluable, of course. But this is all probably a bit over your head."

Trivia

  • Nazeem holds the key to Chillfurrow Farm, as well as a key to Wintersand Manor, which seems to serve no known purpose. Entering help wintersand 0 into the console (PC) shows that there is a Wintersand Manor Key, a location called Wintersand Manor and a Wintersand Manor Faction, but no Wintersand Manor cell, implying that Wintersand Manor may be a location which was removed from the final release, but the key was overlooked.
  • Although he owns Chillfurrow Farm, he is never there in-game.
  • He is voiced by Keith Silverstein.
  • He does not count as a "High Profile Victim" in The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard quest "Deceiving the Herd."
