→Notes: installing a new jarl befriends the new jarl in itself, which is why you don't need to do a favor task for the new jarl
<noinclude>{{Trail|Quests}}</noinclude>
'''Thane''' is an honorary title presented by the [[Skyrim:Jarl|jarl]] of a [[Skyrim:Holds|hold]] to individuals of high esteem. The bestowed title is one of both recognition and prestige. Thanes may be chosen due to their importance to the city or for their heroic deeds. It is possible to become a thane of every hold regardless of which side in the [[Skyrim:Civil War|Civil War]] is chosen (although it is impossible to become a thane of [[Skyrim:Eastmarch|Eastmarch]] if no side is chosen). Each jarl has their own requirements for the title and may bestow the honor on multiple people.
==Benefits of Being a Thane==
*Grants you a personal [[Skyrim:Housecarl|housecarl]] [[Skyrim:Followers|follower]] (if available).
*Grants you a symbolic weapon of the city.
*Guards will forgive any [[Skyrim:Bounty|bounty]] of less than 2000 gold (once per hold).
==Becoming a Thane==
The general process for becoming a thane comes down to a relatively general formula with the exception of Whiterun, where it is initially achieved by completing the quest [[Skyrim:Dragon Rising|Dragon Rising]], and does not require the steps below to complete, unless you have joined the Stormcloaks and completed [[Skyrim:Battle for Whiterun (Stormcloaks)|Battle for Whiterun]].
# You befriend the jarl through a quest or favors.
# The jarl asks you to demonstrate your value to the hold by [[Skyrim:Making Friends and Influencing People|assisting the people]] (five people in holds with major cities, three people in the other holds; in the Rift the conversation with the jarl is skipped, but you still have to help the people).
# The jarl asks you to purchase a [[Skyrim:Houses|house]] in the city (if the hold has a major city).
# The jarl grants the title of Thane and all that comes with it.
Progress made in assisting the people is dependent on disposition of citizens of the hold. Each citizen whose disposition is raised to friend counts towards the objective. Note that if you befriend the same citizen twice, the citizen only counts once for the Thane quest. Also, if a friend dies, you do not lose progress. In most cases, there is one quest for each citizen which will befriend that citizen. Some citizens may have more than one quest which will befriend them. Many citizens have no specific quest available at all. A friend must be an ordinary citizen of the hold, not just living in it; members of Orc strongholds and Khajiit caravans do not count towards the total.

[[Skyrim:Mjoll the Lioness|Mjoll the Lioness]] is declared by [[Skyrim:The Rift|the Rift]]'s jarl, [[Skyrim:Laila Law-Giver|Laila Law-Giver]], to be a champion of the people. Her virtue and heroic nature are extolled by Laila, but this only represents one facet of being a thane.
== Notes ==
* If the jarl that named you thane is replaced through the events of the Civil War or via [[Skyrim:Season Unending|Season Unending]], you will lose the title, though you can regain it by speaking to the new jarl. You do not need to complete favor tasks a second time, because the new jarl is always grateful to you for your help in installing him or her and will accept that as a favor task in itself. The only exception is the Rift, where both Maven and Laila require you to complete a [[Skyrim:Supply and Demand|non-repeatable task]] as a prerequisite for the title.
* If the jarl is replaced and you then regain your thaneship, the bounty forgiveness will reset and you will be able to use it a second time under the new jarl. As the holds of the Reach, Falkreath, Hjaalmarch, the Pale and Winterhold can change hands twice throughout the game, this theoretically allows you to clear your bounty three times in these holds.
* It is strongly recommended that before completing the Dark Brotherhood contract to kill Helvard, you either become [[Skyrim:Thane of Falkreath|thane of Falkreath]] first, or do Siddgeir/Dengeir's quests later to regain their grace.
*If Erikur or Bryling die, their housecarls ([[Skyrim:Melaran|Melaran]] and [[Skyrim:Irnskar Ironhand|Irnskar Ironhand]], respectively) will replace them as thanes.
*If you lose your Thane status in your hold (due to the jarl that granted it being removed by the Civil War or Season Unending), then your housecarl will still call you thane but you will be unable to use your status to avoid being arrested by the guards until it is reinstated.
