Deeja is an Argonian assassin in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Alongside her brother, Jaree-Ra, she leads a criminal gang known as the Blackblood Marauders. She can be found at the docks of the East Empire Company Warehouse near Solitude.

Background[]

"You want knives? You want them in your belly? No? Then you stop talking to Deeja."
―Deeja[src]

Deeja is shown to be very antisocial, and attempts to converse with her prior to "Lights Out!" will result in her telling the Dragonborn to back off, and later she will threaten them to stop trying to talk to her. Deeja will only say to the Dragonborn that they must speak with her egg-brother (Jaree-Ra).

Interactions[]

Lights Out![]

After the Dragonborn has put out the fire in the Solitude Lighthouse, Deeja can be found inside the Wreck of the Icerunner. When Jaree-Ra refers the Dragonborn to Deeja for their reward for putting out the lighthouse fire, she tells the Dragonborn that the loot has been moved and that the Dragonborn was just "useful to the Blackbloods." The Dragonborn is then forced to kill her to retrieve the Note from Jaree-Ra.

Dialogue[]

Lights Out![]

"My brother told me you were coming. I'm supposed to give you what you've earned."

So we're splitting the loot, then? "Ha! I'm afraid the loot's already been moved. You've been useful to the Blackbloods, though. You've earned a quick death."

Conversations[]

Greta

Greta: "Got any work?" or "I ain't begging. I just need a job. Anything." Deeja: "Shoo! Go away! You get nothing from me." or "You bother me again, maybe you will not walk away. Understand?"

Jaree-ra and Gulum-Ei

Jaree-Ra: "My contact, she says Hammerfell steel is much desired by certain parties." Gulum-Ei: "I know of a ship coming in from Hammerfell. Some cargo might get "lost"..." Deeja: "Why should we settle for half a fin when we could just take the whole whale?" Jaree-Ra: "Patience, sister. Patience."

Quotes[]

  • "You, talk to egg-brothers. Deeja has no words for you."
  • "You have no knowledge of who you speak to. Go away."

Trivia[]

  • According to the Creation Kit, Deeja is the sister of not only Jaree-Ra, but to Gulum-Ei.
  • If the Dragonborn kills her with the Ebony Blade, she will count as a "friend" and contribute to upgrading the blade.

Bugs[]

This section contains bugs related to Deeja. Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:

  1. Please reload an old save to confirm if the bug is still happening.
  2. If the bug is still occurring, please post the bug report with the appropriate system template  360  /  XB1  ,  PS3  /  PS4  ,  PC  /  MAC  ,  NX  /  PS5  ,  XS  , depending on which platform(s) the bug has been encountered on.
  3. Be descriptive when listing the bug and fixes, but avoid having conversations in the description and/or using first-person anecdotes: such discussions belong on the appropriate forum board.
  •  PC   Sometimes killing her on the bottom of the ship will make searching her unavailable, thus the note from Jaree-Ra cannot be obtained.
    •  PC (Fix)   This can be fixed by reloading a saved game or by using the tcl console command.
  • If the East Empire Company Warehouse is visited at a certain point during the Dark Brotherhood quest "To Kill an Empire," she will sometimes become hostile (even if the quest "Lights Out!" is not active). That mainly relates to the Dragonborn clearing Broken Oar Grotto before first visiting the warehouse.
  • Using Unrelenting Force whilst battling Deeja may cause her to become stuck outside of the room you are in, making it impossible to kill her
    • This can be fixed by reloading an earlier save.
  • Occasionally there is a glitch where at the moment of death, Deeja's tail will stretch out and lock in a hovering position.
  •  PC   If the console is used to remove the essential tag from her before killing her, it will start the quest "Lights Out!" at the point when the player must locate where Jaree-Ra's bandits took the loot.
