Part 2: Favors for Citizens

Favor: Special Delivery*

Visit the location specified, and converse with the Favor giver. They have an important item that needs to be delivered to someone in Skyrim. The recipient rewards you with a small amount of gold pieces. The following citizens of Skyrim have Delivery Favors for you:

• Gold pieces (leveled, per delivery)

Favor: A Good Talking To*

Locate the Favor giver and speak with them. It appears that they’re having problems with a particular individual pestering, intimidating, or otherwise hassling them. Visit the instigator of this verbal assault, and attempt to sway them to the Favor giver’s side. This is always achieved with a Persuasion, Bribe, Intimidation, or Brawl (fists only). After success with any of these, return to the Favor giver to receive a specific reward:

Favor: Sparring Partners*

If you think of yourself as an adventurer with lighting fists and a granite chin, you may wish to earn a swift 100 gold pieces by listening to the challenges of the following folk. They each have a reason for fighting you, and the combat is brawling only (just use fists, or risk enraging the entire settlement). Knock your opponent to their knees and win 100 gold pieces. Lose, and your adversary gains the gold.

• 100 gold pieces

Favor: A Little Light Thievery*

Visit the person listed, who is in the same general vicinity as the location mentioned, and speak to them. They want you to visit a location and steal an important item. The item in question isn’t on a person; it is in the location itself, allowing you to utilize Sneak or Magic to augment your stealth. Violence is inadvisable. Once you steal the item, you are to return and claim a specific reward.

Favor: A Little Light Burglary*

Locate Revyn Sadri (the only fellow who wants this Favor completed) in the Gray Quarter of Windhelm. He’s usually in Sadri’s Used Wares. Sadri has found out that a ring he purchased was stolen from Imperial Noblewoman Viola Giordano, who lives in her house in the swanky Valunstrad District. Break into her house, place the ring into her dresser, and return to Revyn.

• Medium gold reward

Favor: The Bandit Slayer*

Visit the Favor giver, who requires you to slay a troublesome bandit leader, located in a random bandit camp somewhere in Skyrim. Journey there, ignoring or slaying any other enemies that guard the place. Locate the bandit specified and kill him. Then return to the Favor giver for a reward.

Favor: The Vampire Slayer*

Visit Sybille Stentor, the Court Wizard of Solitude, who stands with the Jarl in the Blue Palace. Unpleasant though she is, she offers you work to clear out a nearby vampire’s lair (which is randomly determined). Journey there, ignoring or slaying any other enemies that guard the place. Locate the vampire specified and kill him or her. Then return to Sybille for the reward.

• Leveled Jewelry Reward
• +1 Illusion skill

Favor: Rare Item Hunt*

Journey to the Favor giver’s location, and speak to them. They require you to find a specific and rare item located somewhere in Skyrim (the place is randomly determined but appears on your world map). Should you find this coveted item and return it to them, you receive a reward appropriate for the time spent looking.

Favor: Item Retrieval (Bandit Camp)*

Journey to where the Favor giver is and speak to them. They need you to journey to a [random] bandit camp, find a specific item stolen from them, and return it safely. When this occurs, you receive a reward appropriate for the time spent looking.

Favor: Item Retrieval (Cave)*

Head over to where the Favor giver is and chat with them. They require you to trek to a [random] cave, find a specific item they have mislaid or are looking for, and return it safely. When this occurs, you receive a reward appropriate for the time spent looking.

Favor: Jobs for the Jarls*

The Jarl of a particular Hold has a task for you to complete. This usually involves killing some troublesome foes who are annoying or terrifying the Hold’s population or retrieving a lost item of great importance. The enemy or item is located in a random place, usually within the Jarl’s Hold. Complete the task, return to the Jarl, and expect an impressive payment for your time.
