You'll have compensation for your loss. Anuriel : "My lady, Maven Black-Briar has sent word that she requires your seal in order to expand her shipments into Morrowind. Tell her she'll have it. Maven is one of the few people I can trust and I'd be delighted to give her my blessing. I will pass the good news on to her. Below Mistveil Keep, in Riften Jail , where Sibbi Black-Briar is currently imprisoned to teach him some manners, sits another prisoner, Molgrom Twice-Killed who suffers the same punishment as Sibbi, simply for crossing the Black-Briar family.
You can ask him why he is in prison, and he'll reply, "Because big, bad Brynjolf doesn't like the way I play thief. Look, he says we needed coin, so I got coin. Who cares if people got hurt? Blood washes off septims. Now I'm sitting in here counting skeever droppings while he's drinking Black-Briar mead with Maven. She's got friends in high places, and I don't just mean in Skyrim.
So getting the guards to throw me in here as a 'punishment' was about as easy as falling off a log. Each and every day, Maven will pay a visit to the many merchants in the marketplace, seemingly to remind all of them who is in charge of Riften:. Madesi : "Lady Maven, how may I help you? He said he'd have me thrown in the prisons if I didn't give him what he wanted! I can't afford to just give my jewelry away!
Maven : "Haelga, I like you, so I'm only going to say this one time. If you ever try and 'practice the Dibellan arts' with Hemming again, I'll make sure that pretty little face loses its beauty. Now I'm not going to warn you again. Maven : "I don't like being made a fool of, Brand-Shei. Not one bit. I didn't know it was your man. Had I known, I would have looked the other way, I swear. Have you joined Mjoll as official peacekeepers of Riften?
You cost me a lot of coin. Mjoll : "Maven. How's the criminal underworld treating you this fine day? You couldn't touch me if you wanted to.
Now I suggest you turn around and rattle someone else's cage before you get hurt. One day, you'll slip up and your Imperial friends won't be there to catch your fall. Marise : "Oh! Miss Maven. What can I do for you? I have no quarrel with you. I just wish to speak a moment. What have you heard about these dragons?
Didn't leave a soul alive they said. Keep your ears open for me and tell me if you hear anything more. I'll make it worth your while. Maven : "Grelka, how fast can you get your hands on some longbows? You mind paying a little extra to get them fast? I need four longbows and four score of arrows. Just make it happen. Vulwulf : "Maven! So good to see you again. Hoist a flagon and celebrate with me! When you're standing downwind of me.
Maven : "I'm telling you, Vulwulf, it's the investment you've been waiting for. What better way to help the cause than to put weapons into the hands of young Nord warriors dying for their homeland? You're right! I'll do it Her aggressive behavior leads to even more talk behind her back, specifically during the conversations of the citizens in everyday life. Drifa : "Mjoll!
I'm glad I found you. What's the matter? He's getting so angry about the corruption in Riften, he said he's going to walk right up to Maven and give her a piece of his mind.
Don't worry. Dinya : "Good day, Grelka. I've got deadbeats who don't pay me, the city guard looking over my shoulder and Maven Black-Briar breathing down my neck. You should come by the temple, speak to Maramal. So unless Mara is going to start raining coin from the heavens, why don't you mind your own business. Also, if Maven is appointed jarl, the confused court wizard Wylandriah will face more problems than ever before:.
Maven : "Why are the potions I requested not completed? The components for those elixirs are quite volatile and in some cases, very dangerous to handle. I must take care. When I ask for something I expect results, and I expect them immediately.
Sorry, milday [ sic ]. They will be completed. The Black-Briar Meadery is the main attraction in Riften, and according to Hemming Black-Briar, the business that put Riften back on the map, as it brings income and employment to the otherwise corrupt and decaying town. Black-Briar Mead , and the slightly more luxurious Black-Briar Reserve , is brewed and bottled at the meadery and distributed to thirsty customers in taverns all over Skyrim, along with the neighboring island of Solstheim.
Skyrim citizens comments. The Black-Briar Meadery is the brainchild of Maven Black-Briar, and provides the majority of her income, so she will spare no expense and, in case she is rejected, use all the dirty tricks in the book to wipe out competition, as evident during Dampened Spirits. Not surprisingly, the Riften citizens down an awful lot of Black-Briar Mead, although the quality of the brew is questionable at best.
Riften citizens comments. Maven sees me serve a competitor's brand here and we may as well dig our own graves. If you stumble upon the tragedy-ridden Asgeir Snow-Shod , he will tell you that even Maven had to start somewhere when she wanted the Meadery up and running.
Asgeir is in mourning due to his sister Lilija's death and will, after telling you about the tragedy, finish with: "Anyway, I'm glad my work at the Black-Briar Meadery keeps me busy. Helps me keep my mind off of things. I'm partnered with Maven Black-Briar. I put up a chunk of the gold she needed to get the place off the ground.
We've been staggeringly successful so far. In fact, I'm almost surprised how quickly she's generated business for us. My name may not be on the label, but some of my blood, sweat and tears are in every drop. Uh, figuratively of course. Inside the Meadery you will find an insecure Ungrien working the tasting counter, trying his very best to sell the mediocre brew with: "Welcome!
Allow me to recommend the Black-Briar Mead Black-Briar Mead. May I get one for you? She uses a very secret blend of spices, fresh honey from Goldenglow Estate and specially constructed aging casks to ensure the best flavor.
Even when you get to the last sip in your flagon, it'll taste just as good as the first! I'm not very good at this. Look, just don't say anything to Maven, will you? I've spent weeks trying to get that right and if she sees how stupid I am, she'll get rid of me.
That's what I meant. In fact, I almost feel guilty accepting pay from her. Why, just this last week I was commenting to my fellow meadery workers just how lucky we are to be working for such a charitable family. Maven is a saint and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. If I'm caught saying anything bad about the meadery or the family, I'm a dead man.
I'm the fourth person to work the tasting counter in the last year. The last three are at the bottom of Lake Honrich. Just take my advice and just get out of Riften as soon as you can.
Ungrien : "I can't take it anymore, Tythis. Indaryn keeps pushing me around and I'm not even doing anything wrong. Losing a job from the Black-Briar family would make me a marked man. No one would ever take me on anywhere else. Indaryn will eventually tire of picking on you and move on to someone else.
A note on his desk also reveals that the employees in the meadery are subject to random searches due to missing mead barrels, written by brewmaster Indaryn on behalf of Maven. During opening hours, you will find Indaryn in the meadery as well, often overlooking the brewing vats and the employees. Several notes in the tasting room hint at him being a harsh leader, although a very specific note from Maven reveals that Maven disapproves of him acting on her behalf.
When asked if he runs the Black-Briar Meadery, he will explain: "Maven Black-Briar wants me to keep the mead flowing and that's what I aim to do despite all these lazy good-for-nothings that work for us.
Ever since I took over as the foreman the production of our mead has never been more profitable. And if the meadery is profitable, I get rich. Get the picture?
I wouldn't be surprised if she's the one pulling the strings around this city. She's always welcome in Mistveil Keep and between you and me, I'm pretty sure she even has some pretty influential friends within the Empire.
I'd also warn you not to cross her. She employs quite a few Troubleshooters can be found in the Meadery staff as well, as Romlyn Dreth can be found working the vats, and will openly make you an offer for some cheap mead when you get close. When asked if he works at the meadery, he will respond: "Sure. How do you think I get my hands on the good stuff and offer it so cheap? You think old Maven is just giving it away to anyone?
Good thing she makes so much money. Makes it easier for merchandise like this to fall through the cracks. Black-Briar Mead Best of all, you don't have to pay the ridiculous prices Maven charges.
So what do you say to that? Indaryn : "Romlyn, I've been meaning to speak to you. I did a count at the meadery and we're four cases short You think I had something to do with that? Because if it is you, and Maven finds out, the Dreth family is going to be one member smaller. However, Romlyn will also ask you for a favor during the quest Under the Table.
When asked if he is selling cheap mead, he will correct you: "No, no friend. You've got it all wrong. I'm not selling cheap mead. I'm selling good mead for cheap I sell cases of it for half of what the inns and taverns pay through the Meadery. All I need is someone to deliver it for me. If anyone saw me leave Riften, they'd get suspicious. Drop it off and he'll trade you something for the delivery.
Keep it as payment for the legwork. Oh, and if you bump into Indaryn from the meadery, keep your mouth shut. He'd rat us out in a second. I gave him the same keg just this morning and told him to store it in the cellars. Oh, he'll rot in prison for this one I promise you. As soon as Maven finds out, it's all over for him. Here, take this as a bit of a reward for nabbing our little thief.
Once the ensuing battle had ended, this exchange would play again, this is the same dialogue that would play if you were taking the city of Markarth back for the Empire under the same circumstances :. If you were taking Riften for the Empire however, the battle would conclude with this exchange between Laila, Maven, and Legate Rikke :. But get arrested in Whiterun and you'll be tossed right into the prisons. Thrynn : "I've busted heads for Maven Black-Briar when she wants to keep her name out of it.
Pays good, so why not? Keerava when asked about rumors : "Riften's biggest exports used to be fishing and honey, until the Black-Briar family moved in. Now the meadery is the biggest game in town. Jump to: navigation , search. I need your help with something. Get everyone's attention for a few minutes. But for you I'll do it. If this was Riften, I'd have you thrown in the dungeon! Not for nothing, I hope? I didn't No, listen, you must have misunderstood Where does Riverrun lie?
Maven is also required for quests from the thieves guild. Last edited by Grathagis ; 21 Aug, pm. You can probably kill her safely after the Thieve's Guild questline is complete and the Civil War is finished in favor of the Stormcloaks total Imperial removal. Originally posted by Grathagis :.

If you dont mind ruining the Thieves Guild questline I know I don't you can use an. Just turn it off, kill whoever you want the save and turn it back on. Originally posted by Vahlok Ro Tiid :. Coppermantis View Profile View Posts. Helpful tips. Can you kill the black briars? Where can I find maven Black-Briar?
Where is Louis Letrush? Why is Louis Letrush attacking me? What should I say to Louis Letrush? You mind paying a little extra to get them fast? I need four longbows and four score of arrows.
Just make it happen. Maven: "Haelga, I like you, so I'm only going to say this one time. If you ever try and "practice the Dibellan arts" with Hemming again, I'll make sure that pretty little face loses its beauty. Now I'm not going to warn you again.
Is that clear? Hemming: "Bersi still refuses to cooperate. What did you want to do? Even before he opened that rubbish heap he calls a shop. Maven: "Hemming, I want you to personally supervise the next shipment. Come to think of it, I don't trust you either, but at least you're family.
Maven: "Hemming, I need you to bring a note to Sibbi. I need him to do something for me. He's in prison All he contributes to this family is embarrassment and disgrace.
I'd expect the same from my own son. Forgive me. Maven: "Ingun, how much longer do you intend to waste your life concocting your foolish little potions? I wish to be much more than just a merchant. Madesi: "Lady Maven, how may I help you? He said he'd have me thrown in the prisons if I didn't give him what he wanted! I can't afford to just give my jewelry away! Marise: "Oh! Miss Maven.
What can I do for you? I have no quarrel with you. I just wish to speak a moment. What have you heard about these dragons? Didn't leave a soul alive they said. Keep your ears open for me and tell me if you hear anything more. I'll make it worth your while. Mjoll: "Maven. How's the criminal underworld treating you this fine day?

What better way to help the cause than to put weapons into the hands of young Nord warriors dying for their homeland?
You're right! I'll do it If Riften is taken by the Imperial Legion during the Civil War questline and Maven becomes Jarl, she will have the following conversations with her court:. Hemming: "There's still the matter of the prisoner to discuss. Now, his family is willing to contribute handsomely if we release him.
Perhaps I made the wrong choice installing you as steward. The execution will proceed as planned. Maven: "Hemming, have you dispatched that letter I gave you yesterday? If I need to light a few fires in order to get what we need to defend this place from the Stormcloaks, so be it.
Laila: "Maven! Always a pleasure to receive you. What can I help you with today? I wanted to discuss the protection of my shipments. An entire caravan shipment of your mead taken by Imperial soldiers.
