The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

A High Elf woman with a refined and expressive demeanor, wearing farm clothes and boots that reflect her residence at the Windhelm Stables. An iron dagger rests at her side, more a tool than a weapon. Her posture is upright, and her movements are deliberate, embodying the discipline and resilience forged through her daily routines.

Arivanya is candid and expressive, often voicing her dissatisfaction with her circumstances. She remarks, 'Horses. All day long. Do you have any idea how dull horses are?' and 'I love my husband, but he can be a bit... dull at times.' Her interactions reveal a woman seeking respite from her monotonous life, finding solace in the city's social venues. Despite her grievances, she remains connected to the community, expressing concern over the ongoing murders: 'If the guards would listen to Viola, they'd have caught the Butcher by now.'

Arivanya resides at the Windhelm Stables alongside her husband, Ulundil. Despite her surroundings, she frequently expresses disdain for horses, often venturing into Windhelm to escape the stables' environment. She can commonly be found at Candlehearth Hall or the New Gnisis Cornerclub. In the event of Ulundil's absence or demise, Arivanya assumes responsibility for selling the stables' horses, despite her aversion to them. Arivanya plays a pivotal role in the 'Blood on the Ice' quest. If Wuunferth the Unliving is wrongly imprisoned, Arivanya becomes the next target of the serial killer known as 'The Butcher.' Her body may be discovered outside Candlehearth Hall, accompanied by a guard and Calixto Corrium. Alternatively, if the player collaborates with Wuunferth, they can intervene and prevent her murder in the marketplace.
