Riften Warehouse

Abandoned warehouse on the Riften docks secretly used by Sarthis Idren’s skooma ring, raided during the quest The Raid with a key from the Jarl.

Riften Warehouse sits on the docks just outside the walls of Riften. Officially it has been shut since the Civil War started, at least according to Wujeeta. In practice it is the base for Riften’s skooma operation, run by Sarthis Idren and his bandits. Typical Riften.

What you’ll find

  • Sarthis Idren, Orini Dral and their bandits.
  • Stashes of skooma and some moon sugar.
  • A locked door. The Riften Warehouse Key comes from the Jarl during the quest, or from Wujeeta’s pocket if things go badly.

Quests

The Raid: find Wujeeta sweeping the docks west of town and give her a health potion. Ask where she gets her skooma, then report her dealer to the Jarl. You’ll get the Riften Warehouse Key and orders to ambush the operation. If Wujeeta is dead, the Jarl won’t hand over the key, so you’ll have to pickpocket it from her body.

Tips

  • Walking in counts as trespassing, so expect a fight before you get a word in.
  • Items inside may be marked as owned. Check for red text before you grab skooma to sell.
  • Keep a cheap health potion for Wujeeta. It’s the whole price of entry to this quest.
