Where You Hang Your Enemy’s Head...
That’s Your Home
This quest begins once you complete Dark Brotherhood Quests: Hail Sithis!
Nazir says that you can use the large haul of gold you received from your previous quest to modify the Dawnstar Sanctuary. If you spend the funds on this place rather than on yourself and your inventory, set off to Riften and follow the Ratway to the Ragged Flagon, where the Thieves Guild members reside.
A Poisoner’s Nook, along with an allotment of deadly plant-life.
Secret Entrance, shown from the exterior, overlooking Dawnstar.
The Listener’s Bedroom, where clandestine and cunning plans are hatched.
Before Delvin’s handiwork: The main chamber needs some attention.
Afterwards: New banners and stained-glass windows are installed.
Find Delvin and ask if he can repair and refit the Dawnstar Sanctuary. He says it will cost you, but he can help. Spruce up the place with any of the possible repairs:
| Improvement | Description | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| New Banners | The black hand of the Dark Brotherhood now adorns many a wall. | 1,000 gold pieces |
| Poisoner’s Nook | An Alchemy Lab, complete with potions and special plants (that regrow and can be used in poisons) is installed near the tiny plant allotment upstairs. | 5,000 gold pieces |
| Torture Chamber | Four prisoners hang here, shackled and ready to reveal the locations of their hidden caches. | 5,000 gold pieces |
| Secret Entrance | Travel to and from the rocky ground above the sanctuary. The exterior entrance is next to the Dawnstar Fast-Travel marker, which makes it even easier to get in and out of the Sanctuary. | 5,000 gold pieces |
| Master Bedroom | In addition to a place to hang your weapons and sleep, you gain some special items fit for a Listener. | 3,000 gold pieces |
| Total: | 19,000 gold pieces |
Quest Conclusion
The next time you return to the Dawnstar Sanctuary, any improvements will be made, which you can inspect.
