Dervera Romalen is a Dark Elf publican at Newlands Lodge in Cheydinhal.
She is incredibly devoted to her inn. Apart from the time between midnight and 2am when she eats a meal, Dervera spends her entire time standing behind her bar. She doesn't offer her bartering services while she eats but will rent you a bed 24 hours a day.
Dervera carries no weapon, instead relying on her fists to fight. She carries a few pieces of gold and is wearing a shirt with suspenders, light brown linens, and thick cowhide shoes. She also carries the key to the lodge.
DialogueEdit
The first time you talk to her, Dervera will say:
- "Welcome to Newlands Lodge, the best place to drink in Cheydinhal. Not counting the Chapel... haha. I'm Dervera Romalen. This is a Dark Elf bar. Cursing, spitting, and screaming? No problem. Fighting is fine with me, too, only the Guard objects, and they'll fine you or lock you up. Not my call."
Asking Dervera if she has a bed available for the night will have her reply by saying:
- "I do have a bed available, for 10 gold a night. Would you like to rent it?"
If you lack the gold, she will respond with:
- "You don't have the money for the room. Perhaps some other time."
Asking for a room with sufficient funds will have her accept the payment, and point you in the direction of your room:
- "GWalk just up the stairs there, and it's the door on the right. Thank you."
Asking her about the room while you are still renting it will have her ask if you are enjoying the room.
- "But you've already rented a room for the night."
When asked about Cheydinhal, she replies:
- Cheydinhal
- "Here you have your Chapel-going Imperials, and your Chapel-dodging Dark Elves, and never shall the twain meet. The Imperials have the gold, houses, and top spots. Dark Elves like me left Morrowind and the whole priest-ridden Tribunal nightmare, and we take the whole patriotic 'Imperial Mission' attitude with a dose of salt."
RumorsEdit
Occasionally, Cheydinhal citizens can be heard saying:
- "Dervera Romalen is very proud of the Newlands Lodge. She seems especially happy that the Red Queen drinks there."
This is possibly a leftover of Cheydinhal's removed Arena, with the "Red Queen" potentially having been the title of the local champion.
Unused DialogueEdit
Like many other publicans around Cyrodiil, Dervera was at one point meant to have multiple topics related to the city she resided in. Three player-only topics still remain in the files:
- Tell me about Cheydinhal.
- Tell me about trainers.
- Tell me about opportunities.
Her Cheydinhal topic response in the final game appears to be taken from the first topic.
NotesEdit
- As an innkeeper, Dervera seems to have been one of the NPCs involved in the unfinished "Couriers" quest. Two AI packages check to see that she is alive before running: one is still used by Ra'Jhan, but the other is unused.
- Despite the fact that Dervera says she doesn't mind fighting, due to her high responsibility she will still react to crimes like most other NPCs and she will still call the town guards in case of any lawbreaking.
