Hafid Hollowleg

Hafid Hollowleg is a Nord publican and the innkeeper at the Jerall View Inn in Bruma.

Hafid serves his tavern most of the time, only stopping to eat at 8pm for two hours. Hafid also cheers on Martin when he marches off to the Battle for Bruma. He rents beds out and buys potions and ingredients, but only sells food. He will rent a bed out at anytime, but will not barter with you when he stops to eat.

He wears a russet felt outfit with a pair of russet felt shoes. He also carries a modest sum of gold.

Dialogue

Speaking to Hafid for the first time, or occasionally afterward, while in the Jerall View Inn will have him greet you by saying:

"Welcome to Bruma, stranger. Hafid Hollowleg. I'm your host at Jerall View. Bed, food, whatever you need."

Asking Hafid Hollowleg about renting a room will have offer you a bed for the night:

Bed

"There's a most comfortable bed just downstairs. A wonderful room, and nicely priced at 25 gold a night, if you're interested."

Asking him for the room with enough gold to rent it will have him accept your payment and point you in its direction:

"Excellent. It's just down the stairs there. The door is impossible to miss. I'm sure you'll sleep very well."

Claiming that you wish to rent the room without the appropriate funds will have him turn you down in disgust:

"Well, I must say. You have some nerve, attempting to swindle me out of a night's stay. If you've no gold, I suggest you find alternate lodging."

Asking him about the room again after renting it will have him rhetorically ask you if you enjoy your lodgings:

"The bed is quite luxurious, is it not?"

Asking Hafid about Bruma will have him say:

Bruma

"Lyra Rosentia collects Akaviri artifacts. She might have a project in mind. Her house is west of the chapel."

During different stages of the A Brotherhood Betrayed quest, you will be able to ask him, Fjotreid or Petrine about Raynil Dralas:

"Ahhh, you mean that vampire hunter. He's staying over at Olav's Tap and Tack. It's near the city gates; you can't miss it." (stage 30 or higher)

"Not sure what happened to him, but I certainly haven't seen him." (stage 150 or higher)

Rumors

Bruma's townsfolk seem to be quite content of Hafid and his inn, as they can be heard saying:

"Jerall View is a nice place for visitors to stay. Hafid makes everyone feel welcome."

"Hafid Hollowleg says that Jerall View has been doing good business."

To which others will reply:

"It's a good place to stay. Hafid is quite a good proprietor."

"Hafid has a nice inn. I wonder if he doesn't drink away most of his profits, though."

Citizens may also ask each other:

"Don't you think Hafid Hollowleg does a good job at Jerall View?"

"Is there a more gracious host in Bruma than Hafid Hollowleg?"

With others replying:

"It's hard to complain. The food is good, and the service is excellent."

"Hafid takes care of his customers. It's a bit expensive, though."

Unused Dialogue

Like many other publicans around Cyrodiil, Hafid was at one point meant to have multiple topics related to the city he resided in. Three player-only topics still remain in the files:

What's to do in town?

Best sights to see?

Anyone have a problem?

His Bruma topic response in the final game appears to be taken from either the first or the third topic.

Bugs

• Despite what his Bruma topic might imply, there is no quest connected to Lyra Rosentia. Additionally, at no other point is it ever hinted at that Lyra is a collector of Akaviri artifacts. However, internal leftovers in the game data imply that she was originally intended to be the quest giver for the quest Lifting the Vale.
  • The Unofficial Oblivion Patch, version 3.0.0, fixes this bug.
