Quests[]
A Blade in the Dark[]
Delphine wants to be met at the inn. In her secret room, she reveals her identity as one of the last surviving Blades.
After the completion of the main quest, the Dragonborn becomes the owner to the "basement room," which has useful chests in which items can be stored. Likewise, items can be taken without accruing a bounty.
The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller[]
Arngeir sends the Dragonborn to Ustengrav, tasked with recovering the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller. Arriving to find it stolen, the Dragonborn must discover its whereabouts.

Trivia[]
- If the Dragonborn gives a mead or ale to Embry when asked, the entire inn becomes friendly, allowing the player to sleep in the bed for free while still obtaining the Well Rested bonus. Likewise most of the items about the inn can thenceforth be picked up without being considered stealing.
- When loading a save within a DLC location, e.g. Castle Volkihar, after deactivating said DLC, the Dragonborn will spawn within the Sleeping Giant Inn.
