Template:SkyrimNPCs Niruin is a Bosmer thief and a member of the Thieves Guild in Riften. He is a Master skill trainer of Archery. He is also a candidate for marriage if given 1000 daedric arrows and revers pickpocketing him the Dwarven Black Bow of Fate.
Background
Niruin is originally from Valenwood, where he worked at his father's winery. As Niruin explains, he was wealthy, had many friends, and was betrothed to a beautiful woman. However, he found himself growing increasingly bored with his life. He secretly fell in with a gang called the Silver Crescents, but his father found out and gave him an ultimatum; leave Valenwood or go to jail. Niruin, who had made contact with Delvin Mallory while working with the Silver Crescents, asked to join the Guild and moved to Skyrim.
Location
Before being able to meet him, the Dragonborn will need to join the Thieves Guild. After the quest "A Chance Arrangement", talk to Brynjolf and do the "Taking Care Of Business" quest. Brynjolf will then ask the Dragonborn to follow him. Do so and enter The Ragged Flagon Cistern where Niruin can be found somewhere. Niruin is also possibly a part of a Companions quest, where the Dragonborn must rescue him from Morvunskar.
Trivia
- Unlike many Bosmer in Skyrim, Niruin never mentions the Thalmor or the Aldmeri Dominion, despite growing up in Valenwood.
- While Niruin is practicing his marksmanship in the Thieves Guild's practice room, an unlimited number of arrows can be farmed by plucking them off the archery targets. The type of arrow he fires seems to be determined by the random leveled lists, but the arrow type remains constant for the rest of the game.
- You can also reverse pickpocket any type of arrows and gain them for free.
