- "Sometimes life puts you in difficult circumstances you didn't choose, but being happy or unhappy is a choice you make, and I've chosen to make the best of things that I can."
- ―Shahvee[src]
Shahvee is a Argonian that can be found working at the tanning rack, just outside the walls of Windhelm on the docks. With the Amulet of Mara, Shahvee becomes a candidate for marriage, the only female Argonian able to be married in all of Skyrim.

Personality
Edit
Often she appears in high spirits, telling the Dragonborn that despite her difficult life, she has learned to be happy with what she has. It is actually revealed to the player at the end of her personal quest, "Shahvee's Amulet", that she was a former thief after she teaches the Dragonborn some of her old tricks.
Interactions
Edit
Find Shahvee's Amulet
Edit
Shahvee tasks the Dragonborn with recovering the Amulet of Zenithar from Uttering Hills Cave, Gallows Rock, Stony Creek Cave or Lost Knife Hideout. Recovering the amulet allows the Dragonborn to potentially become her spouse.
Blood on the Ice
Edit
If the Dragonborn decides to accuse Wuunferth the Unliving of being The Butcher serial-killer in "Blood on the Ice", murders continue in Windhelm. Wuunferth, in the palace dungeon, notices a pattern in the killer's behavior, charting it to weekly a cycle with the next murder happening that very night. So he sends the Dragonborn to meet the killer at night in the Stone Quarters. Arriving, they discover Calixto Corrium attempting to murder a randomly placed target. Shahvee is one of the possible targets for murder. Preventing the murder, the Butcher's crimes are brought to an end. Curiously, Shavee can be murdered inside the city walls in the marketplace, although Argonians are not permitted inside city walls. Also since she is an argonian and The Butcher needs parts to resurect his sister, who is human, it makes no sense why he would want a different race's part's.
Marriage
Edit
Should the Dragonborn choose to marry Shahvee, she opens a shop, giving her spouse 100
daily from the shop's profits. As with other merchants, the Dragonborn can buy and sell items with her. This amount stacks if uncollected. In order to marry Shahvee, her Amulet of Zenithar must first be obtained.
Shahvee is the only female Argonian capable of being married by the Dragonborn. If the Dragonborn marries Shahvee before completing "Blood on the Ice", it is possible that she becomes the murder target of the Butcher.
Shahvee does not always present the quest required for marriage immediately upon first visitation. One of the likely solutions is to increase the player's fame by completing quests in the main storyline.
Marriage quotes
Edit
Proposal
Edit
- Shahvee: "Is that Lady Mara's Amulet? I'm shocked a fine person like you isn't married already."
- Player: "Interested in me, are you?"
- Shahvee: "You have a kind heart. I'd be honored to walk by your side until the trees themselves fade away. If you would have me."
Option one
Edit
- Player: "Together until the end, then."
- Shahvee: "As short as life can be in this land, we will have each other."
Option two
Edit
- Player: "No, sorry."
- Shahvee: "Very well. I am poorer of it."
Quests

Trivia
Edit
Rather amusingly, once the Dragonborn has retrieved her Amulet of Zenithar, if they choose to marry her afterwards, the very Amulet she treasured turns up in her shop inventory to buy.
Bugs
Edit
- Shahvee lacks any marriage reconcile dialogue option, meaning it was never added by Bethesda. This means that Shahvee will not forgive the player if they do not attend their wedding ceremony first go, and the only option will be to tell her "I never loved you anyway". This can be fixed via fiddling with the Creation Kit.
- 360 It is possible to acquire the amulet before being asked by Shahvee to find it. If this happens, the amulet will not appear as a quest target and cannot be given to Shahvee. The quest will continue to be "Find Shahvee's Amulet inside (radiant location name)."
- Since Skyrim's release, it has been notoriously difficult to start the quest to find her amulet (reasons unknown). However, the recent Hearthfire add-on seems to fix this and makes her starting dialouge for the quest much more common to receive when entering conversation with her. (Another possible fix could be to increase fame through the main quest, though it is unconfirmed if either are certain.)
- See Shahvee's Amulet for info on possible fixes for the issue of Shahvee not presenting her quest.
