That was odd. I haven't seen Faendal since Riverood, then here he is, walking through Whiterun! Anybody else ever have him (or other characters) found where they normally aren't or shouldn't be?

Faendal was in my house talking to my wife, Camilla when I got back from an adventure. That was in Solitude. I soul trapped him, killed him and put his soul in to an iron dagger. I then went to the most northerly and remote part of solstheim, swam 500 metres in to the deepest part of the ocean and dropped the dagger. Job done.

Or is it....dun dun dun...

Yeah. I've seen that happen to Droopy like a hundred times as a kid. He keeps coming back!
