Rigurt is a well-known and well-intentioned drunken Nord ambassador who somehow manages to make the people he meets both annoyed and endeared to him at the same time with his highly unusual methods. Not the brightest bulb in the lot, Rigurt does try his hardest to play the part his Skald-King demands of him.

Lines Spoken by This Houseguest:

• "Black bread and mammoth cheese! I love that stuff! I wonder if the cupboards here have a loaf or a wheel. Rigurt is starving!"
  
  
• "Do you like stinky fish? Rigurt loves stinky fish! The fishmonger in Lower Yorgrim sells the stinkiest!"
  
  
• "Don't ask Rigurt about gods. We have an understanding, the gods and I. Rigurt doesn't ask anything of them, and they don't ask anything of Rigurt. Except maybe Dibella. Rigurt appreciates any advice on love he can get."
  
  
• "Hail! I am Rigurt the Brash! Leader of the Glorious Expedition for Nord Cultural Exchange! Rigurt is not here on official ambassador business, but is happy to trade culture and traditions. I always carry a few stinky cheeses for such transactions."
  
  
• "How sad. Rigurt's sack of Nord gifts is empty. I must return to Windhelm and fill it with all sorts of wonderments. Soon. After dinner. Or breakfast."
  
  
• "Ladies can't resist fancy cultural garb! Even men treat you differently when you wear such finery! If you want, Rigurt can set you up with an outfit of your own."
  
  
• "Magic. Rigurt has never understood how such wonderment works. It's like ... magic! Hmm. Must be where name comes from. Makes sense."
  
  
• "Mammoth dung! Skald-King wants Rigurt to go on diplomatic mission, but Rigurt just got back from one! The work of Cultural Exchange never ends, it seems. Also, Rigurt thinks Jorunn prefers it when Rigurt not in palace. No idea why."
  
  
• "Milk-drinker. Why did that become such a terrible Nord insult, I wonder. Milk is good for you! I love the stuff! Not as much as I love mead, but it's a close second. Maybe third."
  
  
• "Most excellent friend! So good to see you! This calls for drink! Who is Rigurt kidding? It is always time for drink!"
  
  
• "Most sincere salutations! I am Rigurt the Brash, large atbassador for Nord Cultural Exchange! Atbassador? Silly Rigurt! I mean diplomat! Very large diplomat, yes. That's me!"
  
  
• "My bestest friend! No one knows the depths of Rigurt's heart like you. What? No, Rigurt needs no help right now. Can't one friend express affection for another? I will most likely need help later. Rigurt will let you know."
  
  
• "Nord culture is the bestest culture! We hunt, we fish, we sail. We drink and we fight. We sing and we love. And we build. Mostly with timber. Which comes from trees. Which Rigurt did not know until recently."
  
  
• "Nord culture revolves around honor and warriors, but there's more to it than that. My favorite part of our culture are mead and food. And mead. Rigurt really likes mead."
  
  
• "Once Rigurt was forced to eat paws-on-a-stick. Very strange Wood Elf food. I could not get tiny Wood Elf to tell me where paws came from, but it tasted ... not terrible. Did have a claw stuck between teeth for a week though."
  
  
• "One time Argonian ambassador tried to feed Rigurt something called six-ooze parfait. It wasn't bad to start, but then the oozes started to move! Crawled up spoon. Slithered out of bowl. Very hard to eat food that refuses to cooperate."
  
  
• "Rigurt can drink! Once put away seven casks of mead in one sitting! Rigurt couldn't remember the rest of the evening, and head hurt for four days, but totally worth it!"
  
  
• "Rigurt feels so important! Jorunn the Skald-King promised to take Rigurt the next time he meets with other alliance leaders. Says Rigurt makes Jorunn look like smartest Nord in room when Rigurt is present."
  
  
• "Rigurt goes where the wins of diplomacy take him. And wherever the Skald-King sends him. As long as there's mead. And rabbit meatballs. Rigurt loves rabbit meatballs."
  
  
• "Rigurt has met many people. Visited many places. Alinor is nice, but the tall, skinny Elves have so many rules. Rigurt could barely keep them all straight!"
  
  
• "Rigurt has no qualms about mingling with most important dignitaries from all the foreign lands. Even the awful ones!"
  
  
• "Rigurt is happier than a skeever in cheese shop! Must be this place. Rigurt thinks it is the mammoth's meow! Is that sound mammoth makes? Yes, yes, what else would it be?"
  
  
• "Rigurt knows only one person who can drink more mead than me. Jorunn the Skald-King! He has a stomach the size of mammoth! And Thane Jeggi. But Jorunn says he has hollow legs."
  
  
• "Rigurt loves all cultures! That's why he volunteered for service as diplomat! And by volunteer, Rigurt means Skald-King gave Rigurt choice -- ambassador or banner-bearer in Alliance War. It was easy decision."
  
  
• "Rigurt loves this place! My eyes are round with wonderment! What fine examples of cultural bric-a-brac! Rigurt is hugely impressed!"
  
  
• "Rigurt once saw the cutest kitten in Rimmen. It had the softest fur. But who knew that petting a talking house cat was frowned upon in Khajiit lands? Or that the little creature had such sharp claws?"
  
  
• "The secret to good diplomacy? Talk loud, interrupt constantly, bang fists a lot, and never forget to hand out cultural presents. Ambassadors love cultural presents. Especially Rigurt's!"
  
  
• "Shor's bones. What an odd saying. Rigurt supposes it makes some sort of sense, if dead gods even have bones. And where are they buried? Is there a dead god graveyard somewhere in the Velothi Mountains? Ooo, Rigurt would like to visit such a place!"
  
  
• "So good to be here with bestest cultural assistant in all of Tamriel! Rigurt would be lost without you, my friend. Actually, Rigurt is sort of lost. Where in Oblivion are we? Rigurt might have had one too many casks of mead last night."
  
  
• "Thanes! Rigurt supposes Skyrim needs them to function, but they are big pain in Rigurt's horker. Still, better than the various lords and counts that other nations must contend with, I suppose."
  
  
• "The Three Banners War drags on. Makes Rigurt feel like failure, even though I have many diplomatic successes. I blame Skald-King and other leaders. But don't tell them I said that. Rigurt is still in trouble for last time he said that to Jorunn."
  
  
• "Trolls take those snooty ambassadors! Yes, Rigurt should respect his foreign colleagues, but they can be so annoying! One Dark Elf called Rigurt a menace! He did not mean it in a good way. I am almost sure."
