Razzada the Resplendent

Razzada the Resplendent, a Redguard Alik'r wizard, is a charlatan enchanter who has been ripping off the denizens of Bruma. During the related quest, he will ask for help in collecting debts he is owed by dissatisfied customers.

Razzada lives in the narrow alleyway between the Bruma Fighters Guild and the Bruma Synod Conclave, his meager possessions consisting of a bedroll, chair, knapsack and a well-thumbed thesaurus. He sleeps here between 1am and 7am and has breakfast at 8am. He will then be found sat on his chair offering his services until midnight, when he has a quick snack before heading to bed. The only exception to this schedule is on Morndas, Middas and Fredas, when he visits The Restful Watchman from 8am to 12pm.

He wears hooded black robes, a necklace of major haggling, a ring of illusion, ornate mage gloves and mage boots. He also carries a philter of glibness, two leveled empty soul gems and some gold. As well as being armed with a staff of icy spear and an iron dagger, he is also able to cast the spells Candlelight, Conjure Flame Atronach, Fear, Firebolt, Healing and Ice Storm.

Dialogue

Razzada's flowery language will be on show as soon as you meet him:

"Razzada the Resplendent greets you! How can my arcane ability and esoteric enlightenment help you on this fine day?"

"Razzada the Resplendent: enchanter extraordinaire, illusionist incredible, restorer remarkable and destructor distinguished, at your service."

Ask if he is a Synod or College of Whispers member and he proclaims:

"Why, of course not! No self-respecting mage joins those two scurrilous syndicates!"

If you ask about his living conditions, he confides:

"What an intriguing inquest! I do indeed have a bed. Well, a bedroll. I do not own property in Bruma, for the city is full and I am somewhat of a latecomer. That, and not being registered to any property grants the Synod and College of Whispers less opportunity to persecute, hound, maltreat and molest me. ...as they are wont to do."

If you question why he has set up in Bruma, he explains:

"Bruma is the last bastion of Imperial land before the border and the harsh ravages - and independent college - of Skyrim. Those poor souls who find themselves overcome with vexation at the shockingly bureaucratic nature of Cyrodiil's key magical institutions, well... They tend to peregrinate to Skyrim. When the Imperial border guards halt them at the selvage, so to speak, they lodge in Bruma. Thusly, my wares are in great demand."

When you ask to see his standard inventory he exclaims:

"Ah. While they are regrettably significantly more banal than my exceptional unique items, I do keep a stock of some more... pedestrian magical goods."

"Oh, how mundane a soul you are. You could acquire commodities such as these from any charlatan! Very well, take a look."

"Oh! How pedestrian!"

If instead you ask to see his enchanted items he will be thrilled:

"Aha, of course! Of course! Excellent. Well, I have five fabulous unique items in stock at the moment. The first is the Wooden Staff of Awesome Conflagaration [sic], which summons a tremendous fiery inferno at your target location. Extremely dangerous! The second is the Scepter of Frosty Entombment, which is a truly unique frost staff. Will trap your target in a block of ice for 10 minutes! Third is the Blade of Prepotence, which causes your target - any target at all - to shrink, becoming supremely weak and vulnerable. Fourth is the Staff of Titan Summoning, which summons a mighty Daedric Titan at your target location. It will demolish all in its way. Fifth is the Rod of Potency, which will certainly... bring great pleasure, that I can guarantee. So, which will it be?"

Given that his items are liable to malfunction, you can try to ask for a refund:

"Ah! You have purchased yourself a fine enchanted item from Razzada the Resplendent, and found it somehow unsatisfactory? I am afraid I make my refund policy clear. That is, there are none. No refunds, I mean. Not no policy. There is a policy. Very much so, in fact."

If you note how he'd never mentioned this before, he sighs:

"Oh, did I not? Ah! Must have slipped my mind. My sincerest apologies, but all sales are final."

You can then either persuade or intimidate him to pay you back.

Conversations

While walking around Bruma, you may overhear Adius Vilius giving Razzada an earful:

Adius: "Razzada! Not causing trouble, are we?"
Razzada: "Ah--Guard Captain! What -- what brings you to this neck of the woods?"
Adius: "We're getting more complaints, Razzada. These "enchanted" items you're selling..."
Razzada: "It is not my misconduct, surely, if my patrons are so querulous! My refund policy is very clear..."
Adius: "One more complaint, Razzada. Just one more, and you'll find yourself in the lockup. And this time, your slippery tongue won't save you."
Razzada: "...Ah. I see. Er...very well, guard captain, I can promise you -- Razzada the Resplendent will be most veracious from this point hence!"

Adius: "Sure. Whatever you say."
