Oblivion:Drothmeri Army

Jump to: navigation, search

The Drothmeri Army is led by the rogue Telvanni Arch-Mage Frathen Drothan in his search for the Mehrunes Razor. They are currently tasked with guarding Sundercliff Watch while Drothan searches for the Razor deep inside.

Their leader is Frathen Drothan, while Telani Adrethi is their second-in-command. The Army is primarily made up of Dunmer mercenaries, criminals and rebels who wish to see the Empire overthrown.

The recruits, soldiers, steward, and veterans all wear Drothmeri Tunics and are equipped with leveled heavy armor, of which some may be enchanted. They wield a leveled short blade and bow, with leveled arrows, all possibly enchanted.

Armor Apprentice

The Armor Apprentice is one of two apprentices of the Drothmeri Army's Forgemaster, the other being the weapons apprentice. He is evidently feeling somewhat unhappy with the limited number of chances to advance his skills, as shown by the letter he has sent to his sweetheart in Suran, unaware that in his absence she has had to start working at a less than savory establishment.

He wears a blacksmith's apron and a pair of blacksmith's pants. He also wears leveled heavy armor boots and gauntlets. Both may be enchanted, starting at 20% chance from level 3, rising to 25% from level 6 and then 30% from level 9. In combat he wields a leveled one handed blunt weapon. He also carries a repair hammer, as every blacksmith uses to ply their trade.

He seems to have a rivalry with the Forgemaster's other apprentice: one of them has sent their master a note accusing their counterpart of skulduggery.

The Drothmeri Commander is a character added by the Mehrunes' Razor official download. His full name is Telani Adrethi, as revealed by the Morag Tong Assassin's Writ of Assassination. Why the Morag Tong has orders to assassinate the Commander is not revealed, but this provides an easy way to kill the Commander, simply by releasing the Morag Tong Assassin. The assassin usually succeeds in killing the commander; even if he doesn't, the commander will be so injured that you will be able to dispose of him easily yourself.

The Drothmeri Steward

The Drothmeri Steward is a Dark Elf marauder and a member of the Drothmeri Army responsible for keeping track of the rest of the army and their pay. Frathen Drothan outlines these duties in a note, and the Steward's Registry shows that the steward keeps track of all the comings and goings of his charges.

He is armored leveled heavy equipment for the player's level (except a helmet and cuirass), although he is unlikely to have every item. He may have greaves (75%), gauntlets (50%), boots (50%), a shield (25%), and/or lower class pants and shoes. Like most members of the Drothmeri Army, he also possesses a Drothmeri Tunic. For a weapon, the steward uses a dagger or a shortsword, which may be enchanted, starting from an 11% chance at level 4 and rising to 20% from level 9. The Drothmeri Steward is infected with Tunnel Cough.

Of these, the greaves, gauntlets and helmet may be enchanted, starting from level 3 with 20% chance, rising to 25% from level 7 and 30% from level 9. They always have at least one combat potion, and have a 25% chance of carrying another. They may also carry a torch.

Veterans also have two birthsigns and spells associated with Marauder Battlemages: the Marauder Mage (+25 magicka) and Atronach (+150 magicka) birthsigns, 50% Spell Absorption and Stunted Magicka. This gives them an impressive +175 magicka. In addition, they know two Destruction spells (one major, one minor), one major Restoration spell and one minor Conjuration spell, though their ability to cast them is impacted by a Bug).

The Forgemaster

The Forgemaster is in charge of the production of material for the Drothmeri Army. He and his two apprentices have already churned out a large quantity of iron armor but still have a lot more to produce. Evidently stressed about his workload, he will attack you on sight.

He wields a leveled blunt weapon, which may be enchanted, starting at 25% chance from level 3, rising to 40% from level 6 and then 50% from level 9. He wears leveled heavy boots, gauntlets and greaves. Each item may be enchanted, starting at 20% chance from level 3, rising to 25% from level 6 and then 30% from level 9. He also carries a leveled poison and combat potion. Of most interest, though, are the two unique items in his possession: the Forgemaster's Amulet and the Forgemaster's Smock. Even more importantly, he keeps one of the two enchanted bezoars necessary to advance into Varsa Baalim inside his tent.

Other Members[edit]

There are also some people who are members of the Drothmeri Army faction, but not part of the army itself. They are:

Bugs[edit]

  • Drothmeri Veterans have something of a mismatch between their skills and spells. As a result of their Marauder Boss class, they do not have either Restoration or Conjuration as major skill. Due to this and the NPC skill leveling mechanism, they are only be able to cast novice spells, even at higher levels. Since the leveled list of Restoration and Summon spells are at least Apprentice-level, Veterans can never cast these. Instead, they will only be able to cast Novice-level Bound Armor and Bound Dagger spells from the Conjuration leveled spells list. They can also only cast Destruction spells up to Expert level.
