Become Thane of Winterhold

Radiant Options

This is a radiant quest that you can receive from either Korir or Kraldar, whichever is the Jarl of Winterhold. The jarl lives at the Jarl's Longhouse in Winterhold.

Quick Walkthrough

1. Befriend the Jarl of Winterhold.
2. Assist the people of the hold.
3. Return to the jarl for your reward.

Detailed Walkthrough

This is an umbrella quest for several other quests that must be completed to become Thane of Winterhold.

The reward, the Blade of Winterhold, is a random, leveled, enchanted sword. There is a 50% chance that it will be a sword (one-handed), and a 50% chance it will be a greatsword (two-handed).

Although the population of the town is sparse, there are many possibilities. Some will count even though completed before this quest is accepted:

• Malur Seloth issues the quest Some Light Theft.
• Haran at the Frozen Hearth will ask you to talk to Ranmir and get him to settle his debt.

• Helping the mages or students of the college will count.
  • Drevis Neloren is a good first stop for the Out of Balance quest.
  • Sergius Turrianus may ask you to fetch five (empty) leveled soul gems, and is easily done with so many mage vendors around.
  • Brelyna's Practice
  • J'zargo's Experiment
  • The Black Star, Azura’s quest, counts towards the goal because Nelacar (if you choose to go to him) is a Winterhold citizen.

After accepting the quest:

• Giving Ranmir at the Frozen Hearth a drink will count towards the quest.

Notes

• Drowned Sorrows, a quest given by Dagur, is not a good quest to pick as it is often subject to a glitch with the journal and thus will not update.
• Completing Harsh Master for Kjar in Windhelm counts toward this achievement as he is considered a Winterhold citizen.

• The following empty quest stages were omitted from the table: 0, 10, 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 Favor257 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 Favor257.
