[LE] Become Jarl of Riften


Recommended Posts

I wasn't sure whether or not to post this here or in the Mod Requests forum, but I settled on here because I have at least some modding ability and a good idea of how this is going to work. The thing is, I do need some help with developing the actual quest and how to give the player the proper status and ownership of Mistveil Keep.

 

Essentially, you have to complete the Civil War, be Thane of Riften, and complete the Thieves Guild questline. Whoever is on the throne, you'll need to undermine Maven's power. This will involve sabotaging her businesses and investing in her competitors around Skyrim. Basic quests. Once that's done, you'll need to expose her illicit dealings. Everyone knows she's corrupt and does evil things, but everyone's afraid of her power. Once you've undermined her business, you can go about convincing people it's no longer in their best interest to support her. Mechanically, this means obtaining a series of notes and testimonies, present them as evidence to people who have supported her such as Jarls and other prominent citizens like Erikur. These testimonies will include her deals with the Thalmor and her orders of murders. Essentially, you're destroying her public image.

 

Really, all this questline is is picking up some notes and talking to some NPCs.

 

One way to end this is to say, because of her traitorous deals with the Thalmor, you can have her executed under the authority of General Tullius or Ulfric Stormcloak. Another way is to simply have her removed from power and have her assets seized. If you sided with the Stormcloaks, we can say either Laila Law-Giver is removed from power for allowing Maven's crimes, OR we have to convince some citizens that we can run things better and have her voted out of power. That, we can discuss.

 

But I do need help making this mod a reality. I've never made a quest mod before. The few mods I have made, I never published. So if anyone wants to help, please let me know. Either you can do the mechanical stuff, or you can just teach me how.
