Balira

 is an NPC and potential enemy, involved in the Vendavel Quest.

Description
 is an Ice Witch, and one of the three warlords of Vendavel. She can be found on the very top floor of Vendavel Fortress, by following the stairs that branch up from the main hallway, and ascending the elevator. If the player pretends that they want to join the forces of Vendavel, the guards will instruct the player to speak to Balira, so that she can assess their worth.

She is not initially hostile when first approached. Balira will tell you a story about her abusive husband who she was forced to marry, and that her soul is connected to him through dark magic. If you resolve this part of the quest, her portion of the Vendavel Questline will be completed without having to engage in combat.
