Niranye left the Summerset Isles for Skyrim in hopes of becoming a merchant. Due to the recent political crisis in Skyrim, she cannot leave, although she expresses that she would love to travel to other locations in Tamriel. When she first arrived in Windhelm, she faced prejudice, as many of Skyrim's natives distrust her. This stems from the Great War, as many of its survivors still harbor hatred towards their former enemies. After a while, she made the right friends and was able to secure the people's trust, allowing her to succeed as a merchant.
