Mivryna Arano outside the Cheydinhal stables

Mivryna Arano is a Dark Elf commoner who takes care of the black horses at the Black Waterside Stables outside Cheydinhal. She is wholly devoted to her job, and to Tovas Selvani.

A woman of few words, Mivryna spends most of her time tending her beloved horses, while luring potential customers inside. She owns a bedroll in the open shed next to the stables and will, regardless of the weather, sleep there every night between 10pm and 6am. After waking up, she always starts the day with a breath of fresh air outside. When the stables open up at 8am, her workday begins, and she starts raking the ground inside the pen. She stops at noon and spends all afternoon carefully scouting the territory for customers. When the stables close at 8pm, she sits down on the porch and enjoys a two-hour dinner until her bedtime at 10pm.

Tending horses is not a well-paid job and Mivryna's wardrobe signals this: She is clad in lower-class items, a belted vest, coarse linens, and a pair of clogs. She wields an iron war axe, and carries her rake, a leveled amount of food, and a few pieces of gold.

Dialogue

If you approach her she will routinely point you towards Tovas:

"If you want to buy a horse, go inside and talk to Tovas."

When asked about Cheydinhal, she will reveal her fascination with both the horses and her employer:

Cheydinhal

"Tovas knows his horses, and I'll stay with him and these beautiful creatures. Forever."

If you buy a horse from Tovas he will send you back outside:

"Go out to the corral. Mivryna will have your new Black horse saddled and ready for you."

Mivryna will then break off her schedule and wait for you outside the stables, with a horse by her side. When she sees you, she will comment:

"You'r [sic] horse has been saddled."

If you manage to speak with her before hearing this comment (see bugs) she will instead say:

"The Cheydinhal Black horse is the finest in Cyrodiil. Take good care of him."

When you mount the horse, she will return to her usual routine.

Unused Dialogue

Another, more friendly greeting was recorded for Mivryna but will never be heard in-game:

"Well, yes, my name.... Mivryna Arano. Excuse me, but I don't speak much. With people, that is."

Notes

• There are two other Dark Elf NPCs with the surname "Arano" (Myvryna Arano and Tanasa Arano), although there is no evidence that any are related.

Bugs

• Mivryna was supposed to take a two-hour lunch at midday; however, the AI package MivrynaEat12x2 is set to be carried out between 8pm and 10pm, which is when she is eating dinner. This causes her to simply revert to her generic wandering package instead.
  • The Unofficial Oblivion Patch, version 3.4.0, fixes this bug.
• Due to an odd script, only one of Mivryna's two post-purchase dialogue lines can be heard, and only once.
  • The Unofficial Oblivion Patch, version 3.4.0, fixes this bug.
