Undena Orethi on the road outside Skingrad

Undena Orethi is a Dunmer farmer living in Skingrad who is obsessed with finding the perfect tomato. She owns Cyrodiil's largest tomato farm, located northeast of town (map).

Undena spends most of her time standing next to a rock by the Gold Road. At midday she tries to eat lunch for two hours, still out in the open, although she doesn't have any food on her person meaning that she will simply stand around doing nothing unless a kindly soul drops food nearby. She then continues standing by the rock until 6pm when she will head back to her house for dinner. She will then go back to standing by the rock again from 8pm, all through the night, and all through the day until 6pm. She is supposed to sleep in her house from midnight to 8am, but a bug means that the rock gets priority - even in heavy rain.

She wears a lower-class outfit consisting of coarse linen shirt, green felt linens and huntsman's moccasins. She also carries her house key and a small amount of gold.

Her house is located in the southwestern corner of Skingrad and is split into three floors. The ground floor holds a good amount of ingredients as well as the usual clutter and pottery. The second floor contains her bed (that you can sleep in for free) and a few sets of lower-class clothing, while the third floor holds four animal cages and four chests, one of which has a chance of some leather, iron or steel equipment. Not surprisingly, the house holds a large concentration of tomatoes: A whopping twenty-nine samples, spread out in baskets, bowls and barrels all over the three floors.

When greeted for the first time she will say "A perfect tomato... one taste, and it is gone forever. And then... a lifetime of searching for the next one. Undena Orethi. I am a pilgrim in search of the perfect tomato. It is my grail, and I shall follow it all my life." It seems she came to Skingrad for its ideal tomato-growing soil: "You wouldn't think it, but our rocky soil is perfect for tomatoes. The same ground that produces our glorious wines produces my splendid tomatoes."

Many of Skingrad's citizens appreciate her efforts, and will tell you that "Undena Orethi has got some fine tomatoes. Some of the finest in Cyrodiil." or "Undena Orethi grows some good tomatoes. Yep. They sure are good tomatoes." when asked for rumors.

[edit] Bugs

• Undena stands around on the Gold Road because the AI marker for her tomato farm is embedded in a boulder in the hillside, rather than being located in her tomato farm.
  • This bug is fixed by the Unofficial Oblivion Patch.
