- "No mother should have to bury her daughter."
- ―Tova Shatter-Shield[src]
Tova Shatter-Shield is a Nord and the matron to Clan Shatter-Shield in Windhelm. Her husband is Torbjorn Shatter-Shield. Tova had two twin daughters, Nilsine Shatter-Shield and the deceased Friga Shatter-Shield. Due to her daughter's death, she drinks heavily.
She can usually be found at the market in the southwest Stone Quarter, Candlehearth Hall, or walking nearby. At night, she heads to the House of Clan Shatter-Shield, where she can also be found during the day.
Background
Muiri, an early contract-holder in the Dark Brotherhood questline, knew Tova and the other members of clan Shatter-Shields well. After Friga's death, Muiri visited the family to share in their grieving. During the visit, Muiri met Alain Dufont, a bandit, who exploited Muiri's affections to get closer to the Shatter-Shields and their wealth. Succeeding in robbing them, Alain fled, pushing the blame on Muiri and destroying her relationship with the Shatter-Shields.
Interactions
