Quest-Related EventsEdit
After you spoke with Thane Fjora, you will need to speak with him upstairs at the Riverside Inn to find clues about the Worm Cult activities however he doesn't have a high opinion of the thane:
- "Let me guess: you're looking for Worm Cultists, right?"
- Yes, I am.
- "Well, here we are! We're all Worm Cultists. Hah! Everyone in Nimalten worships worms and dances with Daedra."
- You haven't learned anything, then?
- "I've learned that the thane needs to settle down. Having a troubleshooter come all the way out here? Because Fjora had a fight with her housecarl? Shameful. It makes Nimalten look bad. I'm thinking we need a new thane."
- Thanks.
Speaking to him again (if you spoke with him first):
- "Under the table, just there! Did you see that? It was a Worm Cultist!"
Speaking with him again (if you spoke with him after Golun):
- "Did you hear that? I think the Worm Cult are crawling around on the roof!"
Speaking to him after addressing Aera Earth-Turner when she arrives at the inn (If you spoke with Borodin after Golun):
- "The murderer propped Betar up. They wanted us to see him. I'm thinking this was a warning."
He will appear after you enter Nimalten Barrow and teleports you to the bottom of the barrow, which is infested with Worm Cultists.
- Advisor Borodin: "My bretheren move to take Nimalten. They need you out of the way."
- Advisor Borodin: "I doubt I could take you in a fair fight. Luckily, I don't have to."
You will hear him as you traverse the barrow.
- Anchorite Borodin: "While I keep you busy here, the thane gets a final recruitment offer. If she refuses, she dies."
You will encounter him at a chamber near the surface. You can kill him, then leave the barrow.

Skills and AbilitiesEdit
- Necrotic Spear
- A basic ranged attack that does minor magical damage.
- Summon the Dead
- The enemy often begins combat by summoning a zombie or a skeleton. If killed, another one will be summoned to replace it.
- Empower Undead
- The enemy channels a buff on a nearby humanoid undead (e.g. skeletons, zombies, even bone colossi) that causes that enemy to do twice the damage. This spell appears as a green glow around the hands of the buffed enemy, as well as the necromancer. This spell can be interrupted to set the enemy off balance.
BugsEdit
- Upon entering the barrow, when Borodin walks up to you, he will be using a staff-walking animation despite not holding a staff in-hand at the time when doing so. ?
