I just returned to Whiterun from some spelunking. In my amazement, a dead man lies on the main road as one enters the town; Nazeem. I can search him, he has a bunch of stuff. Otherwise, nothing seems out of the ordinary. I didn't kill him, there was no dragon attack while I was around... and no NPC seems to be bothered as they pass by the dead body. Is this some odd glitch? His wife doesn't seem to care he's dead either.

Actually... in one of Ahlam's one-liners she refers to herself as a "still grieving widow". Nice, but still - what gives? I can't talk to her about Neezam. :-\

Points to an Orc covered in blood wearing a "I Hate Nazeem" t-shirt
Maybe it was that guy.

How do I find Nazeem. I went to the Silent moon camp. He is no where to be found. I cannot move on to the next quest.

I lol'd. Damn you. XD

Nazeem? He's the snobby Redguard who walks around in Whiterun.

EDIT: As for why he randomly wound up dead, I don't know. I guess an NPC had the same inclinations I do pertaining to Nazeem -- if the opportunity arises, he's done for. Seriously. He's the only NPC I make a point to kill... at least thus far.

Its a glitch. I have it to where a dead giant (that I didn't kill) is lying in front of the gate.

My assassin character has had Nazeem on his black list for a long time now... every time you walk by that little **** he says something.. that honestly shouldn't be said in a world full of cut throats and assassins for hire that might come for you just because you said one wrong line to a random passerby adventurer...

But heh his wife won't miss him I bet, since hes always at the Jarl's backside?

^ I had that giant too along with a giant dragon skeleton stuck half way in the front gates of whiterun, now that was weird...
