Deetsan in the Cheydinhal Guild Hall

Deetsan, an Argonian mage, is a Magician of the Mages Guild who offers basic Alteration training at the Cheydinhal Guild Hall. During the Recommendation quest, she will help you in your task by teaching you a simple Water Breathing spell for free. After the related quest, she replaces Falcar as head of the Cheydinhal chapter.

She is very much a scholarly mage and spends a good part of her day studying magic. After waking up at 8am she will spend her day either mixing up potions with the alchemy apparatus she finds in the west wing of the Guild building or walk around aimlessly. She will occasionally break off to cast a Light spell to improve her Illusion skill. At 8pm she will eat dinner with her fellow guild members in the dining area in the east wing for two hours. She will spend the last four hours of her day stuck into place, due to a bug. At 2am she should go to sleep but doesn't, due to another bug; instead she will wander around aimlessly. She will offer her services when not eating or sleeping.

When you meet her for the first time, she will introduce herself briefly: "I'm Deetsan. Magician. Mages Guild, that is." She appears to be somewhat diffident. When asked about Cheydinhal she will say: "It's alright, the Guild here, that is. That's what you meant, right? It's fine. I'm doing fine here." This extends to her view of her posting in the town: "Our hall doesn't offer much in the way of training; I can offer some basic Alteration skills, but that's about it."

She wears upper-class attire consisting of a blue velvet outfit and a pair of blue suede shoes. She also carries a sizable amount of gold and a bread loaf, which she consumes during her meals. She doesn't wield any weapons, relying instead on a set of leveled spells from all of the magical schools.

[edit] Bugs

• Deetsan possesses an AI package called CheydinhalMGDeestanRead22x4. This would imply that she will read for four hours, between 10pm and 2am. However, the 'Time' when she is supposed to perform this action is midday; and since it is at the bottom of the list, it never gets chosen. This then means that between 10pm and 2am she has nothing to do, and will stay still.
• Since she is the last guild member to go to bed, she will always find the three second floor beds occupied. Although there are five beds available in the basement, she won't use them.
• Despite the fact that Deetsan is female, people talking to each other about her will mistakenly use male pronouns.
  • This bug is fixed by the Unofficial Oblivion Patch.
