Madesi is an Argonian jeweler found in Riften's town square. Madesi lives with two other beggars in Beggar's Row next to Riften's canal.

SummaryEdit

Madesi is one of the few remaining traditional Saxhleel Jewelers within Tamriel. Bandits and other such troubles have made journeys to mines and other towns troublesome. His profession becomes more and more difficult each day, thus he asks the Dragonborn for assistance with obtaining supplies. He can be considered one of the most likeable residents in Riften, as he never seems to cheat, harass, or be rude to anyone.

QuotesEdit

"Buying and selling fine jewelery here!"
"Fine jewelery and gleaming gemstones over here!"
"Jewelry with legendary Argonian craftsmanship!"
"Beautiful baubles and gleaming gemstones, over here!"
"Greetings honored friend. Can I interest you in some fine jewelery?"
"If anything pleases the eye, don't hesitate to make me an offer."
"Good journey, marsh friend."
"Tidings."
"Safe travels, Landstrider."

TriviaEdit

Quest markers do not appear on the map for Ringmaker errands. (This is because they do not have specific locations. Mammoths, NPC's, randomly spawned in chest, etc.).
If the Dragonborn is Argonian, upon exiting conversation with him, he calls them "Marsh-friend". If the Dragonborn is not Argonian, he calls them "Land-strider"
Madesi (and other vendors in Riften marketplace) can be killed by Thieves guild members in the random fights.
Despite being a jeweler and wearing expensive clothes, he sleeps in Beggar's Row on the lower platforms of Riften at night, most likely because of the troubles in his work.
- A conversation about this can be heard in Haelga's Bunkhouse, where Svana Far-Shield asks him to take up residence in the Bunkhouse. Madesi replies that he likes the cold and dampness of Beggar's Row, though Svana thinks it's because of discrimination/troubles at work that keep him there.
He can be killed by a dragon (or any other enemy/character) making it impossible to finish the ringmaker quests. (Save can be reloaded of course).
He makes the Marks of Dibella for Haelga.

BugsEdit

Sometimes when you approach him you will not be able to interact with him. Entering and leaving a building should fix this.
Madesi's base_id is invalid.
"Madesi's ring" sometimes missing its place, in quest of the thieves-guild.
