Alfhed the Gravedigger

Alfhed the Gravedigger is a Nord commoner who serves as Bruma's undertaker—he prepares dead bodies for burial, builds coffins and gravemarkers, and buries the dead.

Alfhed rises at 11am every morning and spends two hours working around his house/shop. He eats lunch at 1pm for two hours, then resumes working until 11pm, when he goes to bed.

He wears a tattered grey robe and a grey mask, but has no other possessions.

Alfhed's house is located in the southeast corner of Bruma, beside the wall; it has several coffins outside, along with scattered pools of blood and other offal. The interior is one large room; Alfhed sleeps on a pallet in one corner, and he has a cupboard and stool; the rest is dedicated to his craft. Display coffins stand against the walls in the other half of the room, and a table (currently occupied) in the corner is used for preparing the dead for burial.

Despite his occupation, Alfhed is a friendly man with a morbid sense of humor. When you first talk to him, he'll say: "You're looking a bit more vertical than my usual customers! HA HA HA! Sorry, just a bit of gravedigger humor." If you ask what he does, he says: "What do you mean, what do I do? Isn't it obvious? I take dead people, stick 'em in boxes, and then throw 'em in the ground! It's not that hard to work out, is it? And if their families pay a little extra, I'll even make sure it's a nice box! In the end it doesn't really matter how nice the coffin is, they're all eaten by worms anyway."
