The Contract is a letter/note found on one of the bodies of a group of hired thugs. There are a few instances in which you could have these thugs sent after you including theft or murder of a loved one.

Known LocationEdit

Received from the corpse of Hired Thug after being attacked by them.

ContentEdit

Contract 1Edit

Here is the agreed upon amount. I expect you to faithfully carry out my request to teach a lesson to the thief <Player>. You need not kill her/him, but I have no qualms about it if you deem it necessary.

--(NPC Name)

An example of a contract; this one penned by Gerda, one of the maids in service to the Jarl in Dragonreach, Whiterun.

Contract 2Edit

Here's the sum we agreed upon. I trust that you will make <Player> pay for killing my dear <NPC>. Return to me with proof of the deed.

If you run afoul of the law, I will pay your bounty.

--<NPC Name>

Possible employersEdit

The NPC is dependent on the theft or murder victim. These NPCs are confirmed to give this note, sometimes even after being killed. The children "Lars Battle-Born" and "Dorthe" are also capable of issuing this contract, whether it is a glitch or a joke on the developers part is left up to the player.

BugsEdit

If Anise puts up a contract against the Dragonborn, her hired thugs can kill her if they spawn at her shack.
Occasionally the theft contract will not have an NPC name attributed to it. Instead it will read, "--[..]" at the bottom where the name should be.
Sometimes, when reading a contract put against the Dragonborn after a number of days, the contract will only contain a couple of words. This bug also occurs for notes but not potion recipes.

AppearancesEdit

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (First appearance)
