Ereia Snow-Fist, a Nord guard, is the ranking officer at the Bruma Eastern Watchtower. She chafes at life in the isolated outpost and has a bitter rivalry with her western counterpart Garceus Avoci.
During the related quest, she will ask you to retrieve the sword of a local bandit leader, to help her further her career and boost her chances of reassignment. If Adius Vilius is deposed as guard captain during Service Rewarded and you helped Ereia recover the blade, she will take control of the Bruma Guard, albeit causing a quest bug. She will also become the guard captain if you haven't yet started Blade of the Cutpurse, though this again is affected by bugs.
Ereia spends most of her day, from 8am till midnight, patrolling the watchtower, only breaking off at 7pm for an hour-long dinner. At midnight she heads to bed on the middle section of the tower and sleeps until 7am, when she has a quick breakfast before starting her guard duties.
Ereia is armed with an Imperial sword, a steel dagger and an Imperial bow with 12 steel arrows. She is equipped with a full set of Bruma guard armor: cuirass, helmet, gloves, boots and shield.

DialogueEdit
When meeting her, she will first mutter:
- "Garceus been filling your head full of goblin dung? Don't listen to him. We're the best and brightest out here."
If you ask her to expand she'll sniff:
- "He's one of those people who thinks that because he's been doing it for the longest, he must be the best. He thinks he's the one - he and his guards - who protect Bruma the most vigorously from the gravest threats. But he couldn't be more wrong. Obviously. He may have been out here longer, but we're just better."
During the related quest she will mock him further:
- "Garceus is an old man who can barely raise his sword arm. He'll be useless for morale and useless when it comes to tackling problems. He watches and waits, but never acts!"
It's fair to say Garceus also doesn't have the highest opinion of Ereia:
- "Ereia been talking herself up to impossible heights as usual? Don't let her get to you. She's a brash, chest-pounding fool, that's what. Guard commander over at the Eastern Watchtower. She thinks she's better than us. I'm a veteran. I've been doing this for a long time, and Bruma hasn't fallen yet."
If you ask her about life at the tower, she will bitterly complain:
- "Ha! This place is out in the middle of nowhere. Mostly. I mean, we get occasional travelers heading in and out of the Jeralls, but not much else. Things can get a little boring sometimes, but all that changes when some bandit ringleader gets too big for his boots and decides to try his luck."
BugsEdit
- If Ereia becomes the new guard captain via your actions in Blade of the Cutpurse, she will still be able to give you the Dartaqto misc task quest, however there are no voice files for those lines. In addition, the quest stages and dialogue still mention Adius being the captain, and Ereia has no further relevant dialogue, meaning that you cannot finish the quest. ?
- In the event that Adius Vilius is taken by the Thalmor during Service Rewarded and you have not started Blade of the Cutpurse, Ereia becomes the new guard captain by default. However, it will actually be Garceus who takes up Adius's old spot near the castle during the day. ?
- Even if Garceus technically becomes the new guard captain after Service Rewarded via your actions in Blade of the Cutpurse, if you start Convince Cerendil to drop the charges against Bentior, you will be pointed in the direction of "guard captain Ereia" instead of Garceus. The quest will then run without issue. ?
- Ereia has no specific dialogue referencing her new position, nor do any other Bruma citizens. Indeed, if you complete Blade of the Cutpurse once she has become guard captain, her final lines of dialogue will still reference her becoming guard captain in a few years. ?
