Houseguests: Sister Gellenna
SISTER GELLENNA
A former member of the Icereach Coven, this human necromancer from The Reach is looking for a new place to settle in, practice Daedric worship, torture and sacrifice some people, and enjoy your hospitality -- as long as it is not in a city. She dislikes civilization, being bothered, and people talking too much, but she does love a good cider.

Lines Spoken by This Houseguest:
- "Did you know that people outside the Reach actually pay others to hunt for them and dress their meat? Laziness knows no bounds!"
- "Don't look at me like that. I'm nothing like my sisters in the Icereach Coven. First of all, I would never bow down to a vampire. Second, when it's time for me to kill someone, I won't be subtle about it."
- "Folk outside the Reach talk too much. If you put a sharp blade against their neck, though, they usually shut up and let you go about your business."
- "For as often as I hear people outside the Reach frown upon Daedric worship, you'd be surprised how many also honor the Princes in secret. How many? Well, I'll never tell."
- "Haven't talked to a Hagraven in weeks. Haven't even spoken to a werewolf, for that matter! That's the trouble with civilization. It's too civilized."
- "I am a practicing adherent of what most of Tamriel considers anathema. Yes, I am a follower of a Daedric Prince. Multiple Princes, to be precise. I hope that won't be a problem for you. And if it is, well, then pretend I haven't said anything."
- "I can't recall the last time I witnessed a good knife-fight. How do civilized folk settle their differences these days?"
- "I had to go out for supplies today and some great good of a guard had the audacity to ask me about my business. I have half a mind to go back, find his house, and burn it to the ground. That would show him."
- "I need a place to perform rituals and such. Nothing too elaborate. And I'll put everything back the way I found it when I'm finished. You'll hardly notice the odor or the screams."
- "I once had a neighbor. He looked at me the wrong way, so I stabbed him. Just a little, mind you. Hardly bled at all. But you should have heard him carry on. The coward!"
- "I once saw a Breton woman wearing a skirt so long it brushed the ground. I am certain she was unable to run very fast when the troll happened upon her. I, of course, was long gone."
- "I was out and about today. Ran into herder. She wasn't minding her sheep, so I helped myself to one. Mutton stew for dinner!"
- "Letters are such an impersonal means of communication. If you have something important to say, you should always do it in person. That's why I burn every letter I receive. Have I burned any addressed to this house? No. Why do you ask?"
- "A loudmouthed dolt disturbed my daily constitutional, so I cursed him. Nothing deadly, mind you. Just a few boils on the tongue. Probably won't make a sound for another day or so."
- "A merchant whistled at me today. He will not make that mistake a second time."
- "So many people in civilized towns don't carry weapons. What if they have to kill someone in a hurry? Do they plan to ask them to wait while they fetch a blade from home?"
- "Svargrim. I hear you were the one who took care of that particular problem. Good riddance, I say. He was no friend to the Reachfolk and I won't shed a tear for that tyrant. I expect you won't, either."
- "There's book learning, and there's Reach lore. Few people are wise in the ways of both."
- "Walls. Do people in civilized settlements think they really provide any protection from a well-equipped Reach raiding party? Are they really so naive?"
- "What's the point of building great houses for your gods? Do people really think the gods can't hear them if they don't pray inside a stone building? Waste of good stone, I say."
- "Wine, ale, and mead. Wine, ale, and mead. Doesn't anyone around here know how to press a good cider?"
- "You know what that civilized settlement needs? A good pillaging! Nothing teaches heathens the value of their possessions like losing them in a good pillaging!"
- "You saw it with your own eyes. My sisters in the Icereach Coven took a dark turn. I'm a witch without a coven now. But this place has a roof and four walls, so I'm content. For now."
