Gharol is an Orc blacksmith living in Dushnikh Yal, the Orc stronghold southeast of Markarth. She is the forge-wife of Chief Burguk and mother of Umurn and Lash. When Lash decided to leave the stronghold for mining duties in Karthwasten, the grief-stricken mother forged a special sword, which she will ask you to deliver as a message to her daughter. She will also pay you for any orichalcum ore you bring her. As a smith, she also sells a variety of weapons and armor (after you accept her quest). If you are Blood-Kin to the Orcs, she will train you in Heavy Armor.
As Burguk's second wife, Gharol rarely gets to spend time with her husband, who prefers the company of Shel. Instead, she works the forge every day between 8am and 8pm, offering her various services. When the sun sets, she enters Burguk's Longhouse for a four-hour dinner until her bedtime at midnight.
She wears typical blacksmith attire, a blacksmith's apron with matching shoes. In combat, Gharol wields two leveled weapons; at level 1 she uses a steel war axe and a hunting bow; at level 6 she uses an Orcish war axe and an Orcish bow. She carries leveled arrows for the bow and a selection of middle-class items and gold.

DialogueEdit
Her greetings:
- "You wish to trade in Orc steel?"
- "Strong gauntlets for strong hands."
- "Blades to kill your prey and your rivals."
- "I'm Burguk's forge-wife. I shape all the steel for the stronghold."
- "As forge-wife, I'm also in charge of our mine."
Speaking to her:
- Can you train me to better use Heavy Armor?
- "Use it right, and you won't feel a thing."
- Your weapons and armor are impressive.
- "It is said that an Orc first learns to wield a hammer in her mother's womb. By tradition, a mother always teaches her children how to smith. If a chief has a second wife, she is called the "Forge-wife" in honor of this."
ConversationsEdit
When working the forge, she will have random conversations with her son:
Gharol: "Imagine the heads of your enemies as you forge. Let your hatred work the steel."
Umurn: "Yes, mother."
Umurn: "The metal has been stubborn today. It refuses to bend."
Gharol: "Save your anger for the forge. The steel cannot hear your whining."
Umurn: "Sorry, mother. I'll focus on my work."
Gharol: "Ah, is there any weapon finer than an Orc blade?"
Umurn: "No, mother. It's no wonder our enemies fear the sight of an Orc warrior."
During the family dinner in the longhouse, she will also try and convince Chief Burguk that she is a better wife than Shel:
Burguk: "I saw you working the forge today, wife. Your muscles have grown strong from the metal shaping!"
Gharol: "Do they, my chief? Am I now favored enough to replace Shel by your side at the feast? Back your words with action!"
Burguk: "No more talk of Shel. As chief, I will do what I please, so point your fiery gaze to our enemies."
Quest-Related DialogueEdit
Gharol's MessageEdit
- Do you trade your weapons with any of the cities?
- "Occasionally. But an Orc blade is a very personal thing. Anger, regret, pride. All these things are put into our steel. When my daughter Lash chose to leave the stronghold, I forged a sword to channel all my shame and grief. Honor me with a task, outlander. Bring the sword to my daughter, if you see her. It'll be all she needs to know."
-
- I'll make sure she gets it.
- "Thank you."
-
- Not right now.
- "As you wish."

BugsEdit
- While Gharol offers expert training in Heavy Armor, the dialogue to do so becomes unavailable once the player's Heavy Armor skill reaches 50 or above.
- The Official Skyrim Patch, version 1.9.26.0.8, fixes this bug.
