Thalmor Headquarters is a small, deserted Thalmor garrison in Solitude, next to Castle Dour. The Thalmor once ran their Skyrim operations from here, enforcing the White-Gold Concordat and hunting Talos worshippers. These days they prefer the Thalmor Embassy up in the mountains above the city, and this place has gone dusty and full of cobwebs.
What you’ll find
- An empty building: no guards, no Justiciars and no quests attached.
- A bed and assorted belongings that technically still belong to the Thalmor.
Notable items
- The Real Barenziah, Books II and IV.
- The Wolf Queen, Books III and VII.
Tips
- Being inside counts as trespassing, and followers will act accordingly. Sneak in, read, sneak out.
- If you’ve helped Ondolemar, the Justiciar in Understone Keep, you’re welcome here: no trespassing, you can sleep in the bed, and nearly everything is yours to take. It’s about the only perk of being friendly with the Thalmor.
