Not to be confused with Sayya.

Rayya is a Redguard warrior, who is appointed Housecarl to the Thane of Falkreath. She is first found in the Jarl's Longhouse.

Interactions

Rayya can be asked to become a steward for a homestead in Hearthfire. She is also a candidate for marriage.

If Lakeview Manor has been purchased, Rayya will stay there and, when not following the Dragonborn, patrol around the property, making for a handy extra fighter if the homestead is attacked by a dragon or a bandit.

Skills

Rayya has typical skills of a warrior;

Equipment

Rayya wears steel armor and an Alik'r hood. In battle, she dual-wields scimitars by default, but will use other weapons if they are given to her. Her stats are average, but she specializes in one-handed weapons and heavy armor.

Trivia

  • Rayya was voiced by Claudia Christian, who also voiced Iona. Therefore, they use the same lines when engaged in a dialogue or idle chat.
  • She is the only appointed housecarl who is not a Nord.
  • Rayya is one of the few followers capable of dual-wielding without the need to put a pickaxe or a forsworn weapon in their inventory.

  •  PC   360   PS3   NX   Taking one of her scimitars will take both. When her inventory is first examined she will sometimes have two sets of two scimitars.
