Stenvar at his table in Candlehearth Hall

Stenvar is a Nord warrior and a mercenary living in Windhelm. He can usually be found on the second floor of Candlehearth Hall.

Stenvar wears a full set of steel armor, including a pair of steel gauntlets (two variants), and a pair of steel boots (two variants). He is equipped with an iron greatsword.

Upon hiring him as a follower, Stenvar becomes a potential candidate for marriage. He can also be brought to Sky Haven Temple to be recruited as a member of the Blades.

DialogueEdit

Stenvar may greet you with:

"Well, look who it is. Been keeping out of trouble much? I hope not!"
"If you need some skulls crushed, I'm still available for hire."

When told to follow, he will eagerly say:

"Good! Let's go find something to fight"

But when told to wait, he will be more sedate:

"Patience isn't exactly my strong suit, but alright."

And when told to leave, he will jibe:

"You're letting me go? What's wrong, is my skill with a blade making you look bad? Hah! I'm kidding, friend. Until we meet again!"

If you ask him to trade items, he will half-joke:

"Sure, feel free to hand me all the gold you want."

Stenvar seems to dislike caves as when you are in one he comments on how he can't stand the chill; when you are outside the entrance of one he says:

"A cave, dark and dangerous."

BugsEdit

  • If Stenvar takes enough damage and is kneeling, he may not get up again and will be stuck in this position. ?
    • If this happens, dismiss and hire him again. Attacking or shouting at him may also fix this.
  • Due to a faulty dialogue condition, Stenvar will not allow you to re-hire him for free. As such, the two related lines of dialogue will never be heard in-game: "I'm bored. What do you say we go smash a few heads in? This one's on me." "Good, I can use the exercise. Haha!"'
    Mod Notes: The Use Pack Data flag in the GetIsID check is erroneously enabled.
  • If Stenvar is forcibly dismissed from the Dragonborn's service during The Companions questline, he may disappear from the game and never return to Candlehearth Hall. ?
