Do not blame me if you didn't know about this prior to reading this post, k? K.

With the introduction of Solstheim to Skyrim, we learn that the Thieves Guild's Delvin Mallory is a brother of Raven Rock blacksmith Glover Mallory, and that Glover used to be in the TG. Not only that, but Glover is Sapphire's dad, which she doesn't know, and that also makes fellow TG member Delvin, her uncle. I would very much like to see a mod that somehow gets this family back together again (or could alternatively destroy it for good). Not that I want Glover to leave RR, I mean, he's got a darn good thing going there, but he regrets leaving his kid, who went through H-E-double-hockey-sticks in the aftermath. Now, you CAN give Sapphire a letter to her from Glover that you find in the man's basement (without his knowledge) BUT beyond her giving you a sapphire gem, I don't believe anything comes of it and that just ain't right.

 

I want there to be some sort of quest or something that could be initiated in a variety of ways, to try to reunite father and daughter. My initial thought is that for some reason the player can get Sapphire to travel to Solstheim with them, where they will encounter Glover and maybe it's up to the player's persuasiveness whether or not Sapphire can open herself to discovering that this is her father (and by default that makes Delvin her uncle, of course). The trigger could be as simple as giving her Glover's secret unsent letter.

 

There could be SO much done with this. Will she reject Glover? Will he be royally pissed off that you brought his daughter to him? Will Sapphire hate Delvin for never revealing their kinship and her father's location to her? Will she hate you? Her father? How will this affect the TG? What if Sapphire wants to leave Skyrim for RR to be close to her dad? What if she wants to off him for the hell his absence put her through because she's too damaged to forgive? Or even worse..? What if you're the Guildmaster (maybe the mod wouldn't trigger until after that occurs) and this whole thing affects your standing?

 

The possibilities are very nearly endless. It can be very emotional in many ways and it'd be even better if choices the player makes throughout all dialogues with the Mallories, unbeknownst to the player, actually affects how the mod's events will play out. There is also a younger Mallory sister, so major bonus points for creating her as part of the mod. Heck, maybe she's the one who triggers everything by tracking down Delvin, thereby accidentally discovering Sapphire because she "looks just like her mother" or something. Or she shows up in RR and approaches the player for help reuniting the father and daughter, etc.

 

Okay, enough babbling. That's my mod request. :-) Thank you!
