'''Tarhiel''' is a character in the video game The Elder Scrolls, Chapter III - [[Morrowind]].  Tarhiel is a mysterious character that just comes falling out of the sky and dies upon impact as the player walks along a path. The location he falls is on the path that goes directly north from [[Seyda Neen]] in [[Bitter Coast Region]]. After reading his journal (see below) he becomes less mysterious. On his body he carries 3 Scrolls of Icarian Flight, the spell by which he presumably used to go flying to his death. The Scroll of Icarian Flight fortifies the player's Acrobatics 1000 points for 7 seconds. It allows the player to jump with such incredible force and distance that the effect is very similar to flight; unfortunately, such a long jump is almost guaranteed to kill the jumper on impact, as poor Tarhiel proves. The player must fortify his Acrobatics skill by a substantial amount (such as using another Icarian Flight scroll) to land without problems. Moderate SlowFall spells work as well.

==Tarhiel's Journal==
The text from Tarhiel's Journal is as follows:

''I believe I may have found the correct for the spell which I am developing. With it, I will be able to travel great distances without the need to pay others for service.''

''If all goes well, I will test out the new spell tommorrow. I believe I have worked out all of the possible complications.  It will allow me to leap great distances, covering many miles. Never before has one been able to travel in this manner: vaulting from the ground, sailing through the sky, all without the terrible disorientation of a spell of flying.''

''The time is almost upon me. My research is finished, and all of my calculations are checked and rechecked. They laughed at me when I suggested this.  We'll see who laughs after I leap to the top of their towers and scream out my success.''

==Name==
Tarhiel's name should be pronounced like [[Tar Heel]]. It is intentional that this comical character share a name with UNC's mascot. One or more of the game's programmers is a fan (or possible alum) of rival [[Duke University]]. The same theme is demonstrated in a hidden message found in the game, "Go to hell, Carolina!"
