Shivering:Syl

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

Lady Syl

Syl is a female Bosmer and Duchess of Dementia. Syl is extremely paranoid of everyone and everything. Her paranoia is somewhat justified, as you stop an assassination attempt on her during The Lady of Paranoia quest. It is also hinted during this quest that she and Thadon (Duke of Mania) had an affair, and that was the reason for the assassination attempt. She is obsessed with "interrogation" of people she suspects, which is everyone.

You will only find Syl out of her over-decorated dress when you fight her in either the Ritual of Dementia quest or The Roots of Madness quest (Depending on your earlier choices), at which point she will be found in light armor and wielding the powerful warhammer, Nerveshatter.

Syl wears a unique dress called "Syl's Dress." The dress cannot be looted from her corpse.
