The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages (UESP) (2024)

Bolund is a Nord warrior that owns and operates Falkreath's lumber mill. He lives in the general store Gray Pine Goods with his brother Solaf. He tends to have a rather rude personality. He will sell lumber^HF to you if Hearthfire is installed.

From 7am to 8pm, he wanders around the sawmill, cutting wood. At other times he will wander the town, sometimes being in the store and sometimes visiting the inn. He never sleeps.

He wears farmer attire, including clothes and boots and carries his copy of the key to Gray Pine Goods, an iron dagger and a selection of common items and gold.

Dialogue[edit]

If you are a Nord he will greet you with:

"A hearty welcome to Falkreath! All of Skyrim's true sons are welcome here!"

If you are not a Nord he will simply say:

"I can't believe we let provincials like you wander Skyrim."

If you play as an Argonian he will be downright hateful and say:

"Stay out of my way, boot."

He may further demonstrate his dislike of outsiders and Imperial sympathizers when he remarks:

"You'll find my brother Solaf and I are the only true Nords in Falkreath."

He also dislikes local innkeeper Valga Vinicia and will say:

"That Valga Vinicia is a gossip and a troublemaker."

Conversations[edit]

When Bolund meets his brother meet inside their store, they may engage in conversation:

Bolund: "Another day in this graveyard."

Solaf: "Falkreath is a fine place to be, Bolund."

Bolund: "Falkreath is where people go to die. We could be fighting, taking back Nord land!"

Solaf: "Falkreath is our home, a place where we have good jobs under a good Jarl. Until the war comes to us we stay put."

At the inn, he can be observed being his usual blunt self while talking to serving girl Narri:

Bolund: "Hey gossip, bring me a drink."

Narri: "Bolund, you're going to die of thirst if you keep calling me that."

He was also originally intended to be rude towards Lod, although the latter never sets foot inside the inn in the final game, making the scene go unused:

Bolund: "Hey, Lod, how is the worst farmer in the hold doing?"

Lod: "The Gentle Repose is barren, it was barren the day my father claimed the land and it's barren now."

Bolund: "Sure it is, Lod. Sure it is."

Notes[edit]

• His brother Solaf is a true Stormcloak, although much more forgiving than Bolund. When asked about his brother he will say: "His name's Bolund. He's the one who works the lumber mill down by the river. If you meet him, don't expect much in the way o' conversation. He ain't one for talking, especially with folk he don't know." and "Don't mind Bolund. He's young and gets riled easily." Even when you enter Gray Pine Goods for the first time, he will make excuses for his brother: "Well met. Unlike my brother, I've no dislike of strangers."

Bugs[edit]

• He will only exit Gray Pine Goods if you enter the shop, and therefore will not be found at the mill when entering Falkreath.
  • The Unofficial Skyrim Patch, version 1.2.6, fixes this bug.
