Minerva in the Inn of Ill Omen

Minerva is a Redguard pilgrim and a permanent resident at the Inn of Ill Omen on the Green Road between the Imperial City and Bravil.

With nowhere else to go, and no one to talk to but innkeeper Manheim Maulhand, Minerva lives a cheerless and rather drunken life at the Inn. Her room is located in the upstairs area, second door on the left, and she gets out of her bedroll every morning at 6am. She stays in her room until noon, and then heads downstairs for six hours of drinking and flirting with Manheim. At 6pm, she staggers upstairs and sits down for a two-hour dinner before she passes out on the bedroll as early as 8pm.

She wears a quilted doublet, a pair of laced leather pants and huntsman moccasins. She carries around a few apples, her trustful mug and a small amount of gold.

When you meet her for the first time, it will shine through that her everyday life at the inn is rather empty: "Hello stranger. We don't get many visitors around here. Makes things pretty lonely for me, if you know what I mean." or "It's good to see you, friend. This inn has been cheerless for far too long." If you ask her about the inn, she will explain why she sticks around: "The only people that stay here are stragglers on the Green Road. Me, I got no place else to be. Besides, I think Manheim is sweet on me." When you close the conversation, she will say goodbye in a rather flirtatious manner: "Bye now, sweetie. I look forward to seeing you again."
