The thane quests and their general pieces are related below: Questįormer Jarl of Falkreath, deposed by his nephew Siddgeir. A friend must be an ordinary citizen of the hold, not just living in it members of Orc strongholds and Khajiit caravans do not count towards the total. Many citizens have no specific quest available at all. Some citizens may have more than one quest which will befriend them. In most cases, there is one quest for each citizen which will befriend him. Also, if a friend dies, you do not lose progress. Note that, if you befriend the same citizen twice, it only counts once for the thane quest. Each citizen whose disposition is raised to friend counts towards the objective. Progress made in assisting the people is dependent on disposition of citizens of the hold. Thus, only Winterhold lacks the opportunity for the player to acquire a residence in the hold likewise, there is no housecarl available for the player in Winterhold. The same happens if you are granted the thaneship of Whiterun during the Dragon Rising quest. Your housecarl can be taken as your follower or will otherwise remain in the jarl's residence awaiting instructions. If Hearthfire is installed, then the three minor holds of Falkreath (Falkreath), Hjaalmarch (Morthal), and The Pale (Dawnstar) will also appoint a housecarl and grant the right to purchase a plot of land on which you may build your own residence. The jarl grants the title of thane and all that comes with it.The jarl asks you to purchase a house in the city if the hold is one of the five with major cities: Whiterun (Whiterun), The Rift (Riften), Eastmarch (Windhelm), Haafingar (Solitude), and The Reach (Markarth).The jarl asks you to demonstrate your value to the hold by assisting the people in the hold, five people in holds with major cities and three people in the other holds.You befriend the jarl through a quest or favors.The general process for becoming a thane comes down to a relatively general formula with the exception of Whiterun, where it is initially achieved by completing the quest Dragon Rising and does not require the steps below to complete, unless you have joined the Stormcloaks and completed Battle for Whiterun. However, a crime can be pardoned twice if a hold is captured during the civil war and the new jarl appoints the player thane. Guards will forgive any bounty of less than 2000 gold (once per hold).Grants you a symbolic weapon of the city.Grants you a personal housecarl follower (if available).
