Radiant Options

QuestGiver	QuestGiverHome
Igmund	Understone Keep (Markarth)
Thongvor Silver-Blood	The Treasury House (Markarth)

Quick Walkthrough

1. Befriend the Jarl of the Reach.
2. Assist the people of the hold 5 times.
3. Purchase Vlindrel Hall.
4. Return to the Jarl for your reward.

Detailed Walkthrough

This is an umbrella quest for several other quests that must be completed if you wish to become Thane of the Reach. The Jarl requires you buy the house in town as well as performing five favors for the townsfolk. Once this is achieved you can become Thane.

The reward, the Blade of the Reach, is a random, leveled, enchanted axe. There is a 50% chance that it will be a war axe (one-handed), and a 50% chance it will be a battleaxe (two-handed).

Notes

• The potential quest givers are identified based on membership in the Favor250QuestGiverFaction faction.

Bugs

• The misnamed Blade of the Reach is an axe (not a blade).
  • This bug is fixed by version 1.2.4 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch.

Quest Stages

Thane of the Reach (Favor250)
Stage	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry
10		(Objective is assigned): Purchase a house in Markarth
20		(Objective is assigned): Return to <Alias.ShortName=QuestGiver>

• The following empty quest stages were omitted from the table: 0, 15, 25, 200.

 

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage Favor250 stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest Favor250.
