Orthe

Orthe is a Dremora Kynreeve in Paradise Grotto, in Mankar Camoran's Paradise, where he oversees the torture of Ascended Immortals who began to question their master's ideals. Orthe seems to despise his position there, and, like all Dremora, looks down upon his mortal charges. He carries out his tasks with his two fellow Dremora, Ranyu and Amkaos.

Orthe wears a near complete set of Dremora Kynreeve Armor, minus the helm and gauntlets. He wields a Dremora Claymore in combat. Besides several leveled potions (combat and magic), he carries his key to a gate in the Forbidden Grotto. As a Dremora, Orthe possesses the relevant Resist Magic ability, which is leveled up to Valkynaz level (50%, always best for his level). He also knows 1 Leveled Destruction spell (major), 1 Leveled Mysticism spell (major), and 1 Apprentice Destruction spell (minor).

Quest-Related Events

Once you have freed Anaxes on the instruction of Kathutet, the Dremora will bestow upon you the Bands of the Chosen and warn you about Orthe:

"Take these Bands of the Chosen, then. Wear them, or you cannot enter the Forbidden Grotto, the only way out of the Eternal Garden. Honor, and pride, bids me tell you: none can escape the Forbidden Grotto. There you will be the charge of my kynsman, Orthe."

If you agree to let Eldamil's assist you escape the Forbidden Grotto, Orthe will enter the chamber and question the reason for you being in the Forbidden Grotto:

Orthe: "What's going on here? Who's this?"
Eldamil: "A prisoner, sent in by ..."
Orthe: "Show me some respect, worm! Unless you want to end up in the cages with them."
Eldamil: " ... Yes, kynreeve. Sir. This prisoner was sent in by Kathutet for questioning. I was about to begin."
Orthe: "This is not one of Mankar Camoran's chattels from the Garden. Who is he/she?"
Eldamil: "Nothing escapes your vigilance, kynreeve. Kathutet wondered as well. This is why he sent him/her for questioning."
Orthe: "Well ... carry on."
Eldamil: "Of course, kynreeve."

If you manage to speak to Orthe (such as by charming him sufficiently), he'll dismiss you with one of two rare Dremora lines:

"This area is off limits, worm! Get back to your cage!"

"You are not to speak to me, worm."

Notes

• Orthe also appears in Blades.

Bugs

• Orthe does not drop a Daedra heart upon death.
  • The Unofficial Oblivion Patch, version 3.4.0, fixes this bug.
