Skyrim Glitch?

While fending off a double dragon (TM) attack on Morthal by calling yet another dragon into the fray, I had whittled the battle down to one Revenant Dragon. It had flown off into the swamp in the dark of dusk and I chased after it. It finally touched ground out by a stream and spat out a purple stream of energy from its gaping maw. I narrowly avoided the blast by slinking around a stub of a tree and pulled out my Dragonbane sword. As I swatted at the dragon the subtitles at the bottom noted that a NPC by the name of Gorm cried out in pain. I looked around, but in the dark and thrush I couldn’t see anyone besides myself and the dragon. A few more strokes of my sword, however, and the dragon fell dead. I absorbed its soul and returned to the town to continue my quest proper, to cure myself of my vampirism.

Once in town, however, a messenger ran up to me and told me that he had an important letter for me, and an large sum of inheritance. Confused by this, I opened the letter, saying that Gorm had willed me his money in the event of his death. This had only happened before after I had murdered my own wife while in the form of a werewolf in Breezehome. Did this mean I was married to Gorm by some mistake? Was it some glitch in the game, preparing me for the Hearthfire expansion?

I went back to the swamp where the bones of the dragon still stood out of the mud and found Gorm lying dead in the reeds. There was little in his possession save for some standard equipment.

Then I thought, “What it Gorm was my relative?” My character was a Nord, and he could have family living in Skyrim, although he’d never given any indication of ever knowing some. He had once been prompted to answer if he had any living relatives, and I chose for him to say he did have a mother and father and wished to visit them again. Could Gorm have been a cousin or brother?

The game suddenly became heavier by a strange coincidence.
