Thalmor HQ?

[Dukkah]

So I was trolling around Solitude with my Dunmer character (THE MOST POWERFUL MAGE IN SKYRIM :wub:) and I came across a tower labeled Thalmor Headquarters. Is this related to a quest and, if so, which one?

 

I find the Thalmor to be the most interesting faction in the game, TBH (what's a good story without a good villain?), and am always looking to have more interaction with them. I was rather disappointed that our greatest interaction with them was that part in the main quest line that... shall remain unspoiled here.

 

So, as a followup, are there any other major Thalmor-related quests in the game?

 

Thanks!

in which area of solitude is this thalmor HQ? I only saw thalmor embassy.

And no, main quest is pretty much the only thalmor, besides the college quest where ancano is being gay.

To the right of where General Tullius hangs his hat there is a staircase. Go up it and, if I recall correctly, the Thalmor HQ should be right in front of you.

 

It was strangely empty though. DLC perhaps?

It was next to the Imperial Guard's training at the courtyard I believe. It serves no purpose as far as I can tell. If I was a thief, I'd consider looting it for all its worth. I've never seen anyone in there when I visited.

I've been in there (my Imperial spends waaaaay too much time in Solitude and not enough time adventuring). It's always empty during the day. It simply houses the embassy staff. Apart from Rising Threat, volumes I and II, I didn't find anything of interest there. Of course, if you feel like butchering the Thalmor ambassador in her sleep, I suppose that'd be the place to go.

She sleeps there?! Save game bloat be damned! I'm adding another ash pile! :devil:

 

Thanks again, guys

I think its related to the Missing in Action quest that's bugged. If you choose a diplomatic solution, you can talk to General Tullius and all he says is that would cause a problem to the Thalmor. Obviously, you need to go to the embassy to request the release of the prisoner, that's quite obvious. But there's no one there. The Thalmor guard at the prison just keeps saying you need an Imperial/Thalmor permission to get the prisoner released.

I read, if you are imperial aligned, you can try to bluff your way through by wearing the imperial officer's uniform. I didn't bother though since killing the Thalmor is far more satisfying for me.

 

edit: Make that legionaire armor.

This is untrue and a troll on the wiki.

The imperial decree to release him does exist in the game files. I have spawned it myself.

 

the armor doesnt work for the same reason you cant get the decree, the quest is bugged.
