Bolar

Bolar is an Orc mage and wise woman of Narzulbur, the Orc stronghold of Eastmarch.

She offers apothecary services from 8am to 8pm, not far from the longhouse of the stronghold. After 8pm she heads back inside to eat until midnight.

As the wise woman of the Narzulbur tribe, Bolar is counted upon by the chieftain to communicate with the gods to figure out why all his wives have died. She's not in any rush though, because as far as she's concerned, as long as he has Yatul and herself, he doesn't need anyone else and she thinks he's showing signs of weakness by being sentimental over their deaths. She raised his children, Urog and Dushnamub, after each of their mothers died during childbirth while she was the midwife.

DialogueEdit

When approached she can say:

"I've read the entrails many times, but can't fathom why Mauhulakh's wives keep finding tragedy."

"Mauhulakh was such a darling boy. Until he got older, and started having opinions."

"Urog and Dushnamub were such lovely children. I held them as they watched their mothers die after birth. They know me best, now."

"Yatul and I tend to dote on Mauhulakh. You know how aunts can be with their favorite nephew."

ConversationsEdit

She can often be seen conversing with either her sister Yatul, or her nephew Mauhulakh:

Yatul: "I hear Mauhulakh is wandering again. He's after a new woman."

Bolar: "He's lonely. What do you expect?"

Yatul: "No matter. You'll take care of things like you always have."

Bolar: "Please, let's not have it come to that."

Yatul: "True... we could simply make sure she never reaches Narzulbur."

Bolar: "That wasn't what I meant."

Yatul: "If he does show up with a bride, we'll have to move quickly."

Bolar: "Once she's with child, I will not harm her."

Yatul: "Yes, you've made that quite clear in the past. And now we have Urog and Dushnamub because of your weakness."

Bolar: "They are good, loyal children."

Yatul: "They squander their father's love. We can't dally this time."

Yatul: "Have you scried anything new in the entrails?"

Bolar: "Very little. It's an uncertain time."

Yatul: "Not for us, it isn't."

Bolar: "For all of us."

Yatul: "Come back to me when you have something useful."

Bolar: "He's been spending a lot of time at the graves again."

Yatul: "Good. The more time he pines for the dead wives, the less time he spends finding a new one."

Bolar: "Be careful. The spirits can speak to the living if there's a strong connection."

Yatul: "Bah. He never had a connection with any of them beyond what his loins told him."

Bolar: "Maybe, but..."

Yatul: "We're the ones he loves. Me, and you."

Mauhulakh: "Bolar, I must ask you something."

Bolar: "Yes, child?"

Mauhulakh: "Have the spirits told you where I may find a wife? One who will be safe from this curse?"

Bolar: "Oh, all things in time, my boy. All things in time. What more do you need that Yatul and I cannot provide?"

Mauhulakh: "I need more children."

Bolar: "Well, that's a different matter..."

Mauhulakh: "Are the gods angry with me?"

Bolar: "Why do you ask me that?"

Mauhulakh: "Why else have they cursed me? Killed all my wives?"

Bolar: "Perhaps it's actually a sign of their love for you. They don't want to see you with unworthy mates."

Mauhulakh: "Then they should send one they consider worthy."

Bolar: "Patience, boy."

NotesEdit

Bolar has an additional dialogue line which she was supposed to say after having completed unfinished quest NarzulburFreeFormWifeQuest, which involved getting an unused NPC to marry Mauhulakh. She could have been heard greeting you with: "All my auguring never predicted this. A woman for Mauhulakh, eh? We'll see how this goes."
In the game's DialogueViews files, there is dialogue for a favor quest known internally as Favor016Quest. In the finished game's files seen through the Creation Kit, only a single basic script remains of this quest. But the DialogueViews show all the dialogue that was attached to it:

Anything I can do to help?

"I am the wise woman. I guide our tribe and make sure we stay strong. I also make poisons for our hunters' arrows, and potions to keep our fighting spirits high. How about I give you something for your blade, to welcome you to our people? I just need a Skeever Tail and a Falmer Ear.

I have the Skeever Tail and a Falmer Ear.

"Good. Let me mix those for you. Here. A poison that will squeeze the life out of your enemies. And some coin, for your trouble. Mauloch smile on you, outlander.

This dialogue doesn't specify a speaker, so it's unknown which stronghold's wise woman would've given this quest. It's also unclear what would've triggered the line differences. One possibility is that one variant would've been used for Orcs and one for non-Orcs, though it seems more likely that one was an early, basic version, with the other being the more finalized one.
