Estelle Renoit

Estelle Renoit is a Breton bookseller at Renoit's Books in Chorrol. The unique Stormrider Scroll can be purchased from her and nobody else.

She lives a simple life, sleeping on the second floor of her store from midnight to 6am and opening her shop up for business straight after. She will offer her services until 9pm, when she locks up again. After three hours pacing around the store, she heads to bed at midnight.

Estelle wears a set of middle-class clothing: a brown shirt, light brown linens and a pair of pigskin shoes. She carries the key to her shop, a bread loaf and a large amount of gold.

Dialogue

When you speak to her for the first time she will say:

"Welcome to Renoit's Books. I'm the owner, Estelle Renoit. Look around. If you don't see what you want, please ask."

Rumors

The citizens of Chorrol will often talk about getting books at Estelle's store:

"I'm thinking of heading over to Renoit's to buy some books. There's quite a selection."

"Picked up a good book at Renoit's this week. Sure wish I could read it."

Other citizens will respond:

"Yes, Renoit does have a fine assortment of books."

"I should visit Renoit's more often."

"I've heard that Renoit has a good selection, and at reasonable prices."

"I'm not much of a reader, myself."

You may also overhear people talking about Estelle having some new books in stock:

"Have you heard Renoit got some new books in stock?"

After hearing about this news, some citizens will comment:

"He [sic] did? Excellent. I wonder if he [sic] got "The Lusty Argonian Maid" in. I've been dying to read that."

"New books? Who has the money to afford all those books? I know I don't."

Phintias, proprietor of the book store First Edition in the Imperial City, will recommend Renoit's Books in passing

"This is the only book store in the city. There's also Renoit's Books in Chorrol, Mach-Na's in Cheydinhal, and Southern Books in Leyawiin."

Within the town of Chorrol, Seed-Neeus in Northern Goods and Trade will also point you toward Renoit's Books:

"If I don't have what you need, you might try the other Chorrol merchants. Renoit's has books. Fire and Steel for your armor and weapons."

Unused Dialogue

Estelle possesses two unused dialogue topics which were likely meant to be related to Deliver the Amulet:

Where is he?

"Yes, he lives here near Chorrol, at Weynon Priory. Leave the town gate, look southeast down the Black Road. You can't miss it."

Thank you.

"You're welcome."

Notes

• Estelle was featured in one of the E3 demo videos that Bethesda showcased in 2005, highlighting the "intelligent radiant AI". The trailer shows Estelle drinking a marksman potion, practicing her marksman skill, and interacting with her dog, Thunder. At the end of the trailer, she scolds and fires the Flare spell at the dog. In the final game, Thunder is not present. However, there is now what is a wolfskin rug present on the upstairs level, likely hinting at Thunder's fate.
• In the E3 demo video, Estelle looked quite different, featuring a different overall face shape and hairstyle. Her outfit remained the same, however.
  • This earlier design for Estelle still appears in one of the game's loading screens.

Bugs

• The bed in the shop is not marked as being owned by her; this means you can sleep in it at any time.
  • The Unofficial Oblivion Patch, version 3.1.0, fixes this bug.
• Other NPCs will sometimes refer to Estelle as male.
  • The Unofficial Oblivion Patch, version 3.0.0, fixes this bug.
