Skyrim talk:Honningbrew Meadery

Etymology Note

"Honning" is the norwegian word for "honey" (which makes sense - sinse they make mead, "honey brew"). Does this constitute trivia that should be included in the article? — Unsigned comment by 37.191.134.217 (talk) at 15:35 on 15 June 2012

It would go under the Notes section. We only allow obvious etymologies, and this one looks pretty obvious, so I'll add it. Thanks for mentioning it! Vely^{►Talk►Email} 16:30, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Shadowmark

I just realised that the shadowmark to the left side of the main door is actually a "Fence" shadowmark for me. I'm not sure if the "Fence" shadowmark has been there from the start of the game, since I was still new to the game when I discovered Honningbrew Meadery and don't know about Shadowmarks back then. My guess is that after completing the Thieves' Guild improvement quest for Whiterun, a "Fence" shadowmark will replace the "Loot" shadowmark (since Mallus is the fence)?? Anyone else can confirm this?? --Psylocke 15:08, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Okay so... I was bored and decided to verify this myself, and yielded some results. Luckily it didn't take much time or effort. Used one of my alt chars. I noted there's a 'Loot' shadowmark at the meadery before proceeding. All I did was simply join the Thieves' Guild, rush through the 'jobs' and questline. What I found out:- its not the Whiterun reputation quest that changed the shadowmark but actually the Dampened Spirits quest (4th quest in questline I think). Upon completing Dampened Spirits, Mallus became a fence, and a 'Fence' shadowmark appeared to the left of the meadery's door - it's above the 'Loot' shadowmark (which will no longer be there). Also (don't know if its worth mentioning), something interesting which I didn't notice in my main's playthru is that the wooden signs outside the meadery are replaced with 'Black-Briar Meadery' signs. I'll upload a screenshot showing the sign and shadowmark if possible. So with that said, is the shadowmark replacement significant? Should I do some minor tweaks to the meadery page and the shadowmarks part on the Guild's page?? --Psylocke 04:02, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
