The men-at-arms respawn, but if the captain dies you can buy another (nameless) castellan from Nilphas. A barracks upgrade, which adds two more men-at-arms and a captain called Castellan Athon.The daedroth replica is placed on a stand near the entrance, while the rest are in a room behind. She can create eight stuffed replicas: wolf, (brown) bear, lion, troll, ogre, minotaur, clannfear and daedroth. By giving her pelts or ingredients collected from dead enemies, she can create replicas and will put them on display in the great hall. It hires Melisi Daren, a taxidermist, and transforms an empty room in the east wing into a taxidermy area. A library upgrade, which adds a large amount of books to your private quarters.He can provide you with the same stuff as your maid. It also hires Plautis Rusonius, a cook who used to work at the Tiber Septim Hotel in the Talos Plaza District of the Imperial City. A kitchen area upgrade, which adds some cupboards, tables and a dead deer to a room in the basement.She also sometimes knocks over items you have on display, and will take a weapon to defend herself with if attacked. The maid, Rona Benanius, can serve you any drinks the wine cellar has in stock, as well as cheese, grapes, sweetrolls, Shepard’s Pie, strawberies and mutton. This adds a larger bed, some much-needed furniture and a personal maid to your private quarters. Talan will also restock the two large vats with mead and cheap wine. These appear in the seven small vats (one for each new wine). Given the right ingredients, he can make unique wines added by the plugin. It also hires a vintner named Talan, who is a brother of the famous winemaker Tamika of Skingrad. This adds wine racks, a second vat (with 20 bottles of cheap wine in it) and many smaller vats (for unique wine) to the cellar. Nilphas can be found at The Merchants Inn in the Imperial City Market District. There’s an altar to Julianos in the great hall, a dusty old hunting trophy (a stuffed black bear) in the east wing, a vat in the cellar containing 20 bottles of mead, a bed in the private quarters and a few hidden secrets (which I’ll talk about later). There are very few inhabitants: two men-at-arms to guard the castle, Niels the smith (he lives in a hut in the courtyard) who can repair your gear, and the smith’s pet wolf, Hjalti. Without the upgrades, the castle is fairly bare. Of course, you’ll have to pay off the debts to get them back. Lord Kelvyn recommends finding Nilphas Omellian, who may hold many of the original items. However, the Knights had fallen on hard times, and many of the furniture had to be sold to pay for castle maintenance. All the others disbanded or passed on, and Lord Jaren came to be the leader of Battlehorn Castle. Lord Kevlyn’s father, Lord Jaren, was part of the group to settle in Cyrodiil.

Their leader, Lord Kain, ordered the Knights to split up into small groups until he called for them to regroup. The will explains that Battlehorn Castle was built by remnants of the Knights of the True Horn, who were banished from Hammerfell when they failed to dethrone Baron Shrike of Lainlyn. They will present you with Lord Kevlyn’s will, which gives you legal ownership of the castle. Once all the marauders have been defeated, talk to one of the remaining men-at-arms. On the ground you’ll find the corpse of Lord Kelvyn, the previous owner. When you arrive there you should find four marauders and the besieged defenders battling it out. Battlehorn Castle is located at the end of the Black Road, west of the city of Chorrol. The lord of the castle has been killed, and the defenders are offering the castle itself as a reward for anyone who can help lift the siege.
