Tillrani Snow-Bourne

Tillrani Snow-Bourne is a Nord found in Bleakrock Village. She used to be in command before being succeeded by Captain Rana; a fact which Tillrani has difficulties accepting. You can find Tillrani on the village square, telling the locals how Captain Rana doesn't know what she's doing, and that Tillrani would never risk their lives like Rana does.

Tillrani is married to Narrald Snow-Bourne. Eiman and Rolunda are their adopted children.

Quest-Related Events

A Beginning at Bleakrock

Approach her and you'll hear her talking to the other villagers:

Tillrani Snow-Bourne: "We have to evacuate."

Tillrani Snow-Bourne: "Rana has no idea what she's doing."

Tillrani Snow-Bourne: "Did I ever risk your lives like this?"

When you speak to Tillrani at the village square, she mutters:

"Welcome to trouble. Our little Captain Rana doesn't know what she's doing."

Whether you're in the Pact or not, she says:

"You're up. Good. Maybe you can help.
I know our village is about to be attacked, but Captain Rana won't listen to me. She's a fool!"

What is this place? / What can you tell me about the island?

"Bleakrock Island. I was in command for years until Captain Rana took over.
Now we sit on our hands while she dithers and frets."

Did you see battle while you were in command?

"I repelled an Aldmeri Dominion scouting party once, and we've had bandits and raiders aplenty.
I handled every emergency, but Captain Rana won't listen to a word I say."

What is the Pact?

"You did take a hit to the head.
Ten years back, when the Akaviri invaded from across the eastern sea, the Nords, Dark Elves, and Argonians united to throw them back! Now, we're the Ebonheart Pact."

Are we still fighting the Akaviri?

"Ha! Once we smashed those Snakes, they didn't come back.
Nowadays we've got other problems—the Daggerfall Covenant and the Aldmeri Dominion."

What's she dithering about? / What's your disagreement about?

"Lighting the watchtower. When we spot a ship, we're supposed to send a signal.
We spotted one, but Rana's delaying. She wants proof it's not a merchant, so she sent our only boat after the ship. It's loaded with the garrison's troops. Foolish girl."

Where did you find me?

"Holsgar the Miller found you along the shore.
He was certain you were going to die, but he dragged you back to town, just the same."

Are we in danger?

"We spotted a ship offshore. I think it's the Daggerfall Covenant. They've claimed lands to the northwest across the High Rock and Hammerfell.
It might be a scout, but I still think we're in for a fight."

The Missing of Bleakrock

Later on you will hear Tillrani speaking up in the same spot about the evacuation of the village.

Tillrani Snow-Bourne: "Everyone stay calm. We've done this all before."

Tillrani Snow-Bourne: "We must make sure everyone's accounted for."

Tillrani Snow-Bourne: "No one gets left behind."

After you get Captain Rana to order the evacuation, Tillrani will start advising the ever-growing crowd to hide in the village's Barrow:

Tillrani Snow-Bourne: "The dead can hurt you. Stay with Captain Rana."

Tillrani Snow-Bourne: "We stick together in the Barrow, we'll have no trouble."

Tillrani Snow-Bourne: "The dead can hurt you. Stay with Captain Rana."

Sparking the Flame

After you light the signal fire, you will head back to the village, only to find the invasion has started. Tillrani will be found near the gate, severely wounded from protecting the villagers:

"Too many. There were just too many of them."

The signal fire is lit, Tillrani. What happened?

"The Covenant is here. They set fire to the village.
Narrald and I tried to protect the Earth-Turner family and the rest of the farmers."

Where are they?

"Denskar headed to the bunkhouse. Aera tried to take shelter in my home. Then the soldiers set fires, laughing.
Please, you have to get water. Save our people! I came to warn you, but the troops … they caught up to me."

Take it easy. How can I help you?

"You can't. Don't come back for me. Just get Aera, Denskar, Littrek, and Trynhild. I didn't see where they went.
Rana's at the old tomb. Tell her … tell her I forgive her."

Speaking to her after this conversation:

"Find the Earth-Turners. I'm going to sit here and let the fire warm my bones.
Maybe I'll take a few more of them with me before I go."
