"Is it daylight out? Night? I lose track down here."
―Riften Guard Jailor[src]

The Riften Guard Jailor is a Hold Guard in Riften. His job is to watch over the prisoners of the Riften Jail, as well as their visitors.

Interactions

Promises to Keep

In order to visit Sibbi Black-Briar, the Dragonborn has to persuade, intimidate, or bribe the guard.

Dialogue

"Hey, you're not supposed to be down here. Official business only." or "What are you doing down here?"

It's fine, I'm allowed to be here. (Persuade) "Oh, my mistake then. Sorry, you can go on ahead." or "Sure, and I'm Queen Barenziah. Now tell me another one."
Can I pass now? (211 gold) "Sure, that'll do just fine, Go on ahead." or "That's just insulting. Not even a proper bribe?"
I'm the Thane of Riften. "Forgive me milord ("milady" if the Dragonborn is female), I didn't recognize you! Please proceed."
Sorry, I'll leave. "Bloody tourists."

"Ignore me all you want, you still aren't getting in."

Quotes

  • "The prisoners are in rare form, as usual."
