I think I read somewhere on the UESP that Uderfrykte Matron is something like The Mother of Terror in Finnish, or Terrible Matron/Terrible Mother.

I could be wrong though.

I just did the Pale Pass quest for the countess of Bruma and stumbled upon the the barrel and three chests leading to a rare ring.

I also found a note and and a sword pointing the way to a treasure chest at Fort Coldcorn.

Neither of these are official quests, so were kinda cool to find. Makes me want to explore everything a bit more carefully from now on.

Oooh, the Giant Rat of Sumatra is alive and well in Skingrad? This I gotta see! Does anyone recall which particular 'snob' owns the house in question and where it is?

Sounds more like Norwegian or Swedish to me. Definitely not Finnish, because "Mother of Terror" would translate to "Kauhu?iti" or "Kauhun ?iti" (that sounds incredibly stupid :nope: )

Just a name: M'aig the Liar

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

The snobs name is Lazare Milvan and his house is two doors down from Summitmist Manor which is beside the guard house.

When i was walking around Skingrad i remember running into a giant Nirnroot. I think thats a easter egg.

I've not seen it, but iirc in Shivering Isles there's a Dark Chest Of Wonders and a Ring Of Oceanborn.

Relations to Nightwish.

In the shivering isles the dead guy who sheogorath killed for trying to grow a beard.

In the quest you do to get Azura's Star , the Orcish Vampire's name is Ghola something-or-other. A Ghola is a clone grown from the cells of a cadaver in the Dune series by Frank Herbert. I forget the name of the Fort but there is a necromancer lair that has a child's skeleton, clothing, and coffin in it. It is the only reference I have seen to children in the game, other than one of Maiq's quotes that is.

There's also skeletons of children in the

I'm Norwegian and have a fair understanding of German, and I'm finding this discussion quite amusing, since the word Uderfrykte isn't a real word at all. It is true that part of it could look Norwegian - the word "frykte" means "to fear" in Norwegian, but Uder is no Norwegian word. What strikes me is that they may have meant to make the word Uder resemble the German word "über" ("over"). In that case, "Uderfrykte" would be an artificial combination of Norwegian and quasi German, intended to mean something like "over-feared", "super-feared". "The über-feared matron..." In short, the translation "Mother of Terror" seems very fitting for this constructed word which is playfully combined of several languages. I'm sure the weird name is intended to be an easter egg in itself.....

That was the first "easter egg" I found. The note beside him was funny.

the only easter egg i found ( atleast i felt it was a easter egg) is if you attack and kill the alyeid statues in the ultimate heist if their weapon is put away you can loot and take their weapon with out it crumpling i had 112% chameleon i thought it was cool (what i mean by put a way is when you attack them they draw their weapon and when you attack them again they put it away you have to get it so they die when their weapon is away)

i thought so to but if it had been norwegian it would have been udyrfrykte and not uderfrykte
