Eyes of the Falmer

The , also known as The Eyes of the Snow Elves are treasures found during the Thieves Guild quest, "Blindsighted". They appear as large egg-shaped gems with a red glow, pried from the eye sockets of a large Snow Elf statue in Irkngthand.

Acquisition
They may only be acquired after killing Mercer Frey, at the end of the quest. Two eyes are acquired, the Left Eye of the Falmer and The Right Eye of the Falmer. They are each valued at 2,500.

Quest relevance
The Left Eye of the Falmer is a quest item that can only be turned in to Delvin Mallory at the Thieves Guild for between 1,600 and 3,200. Further, quest items turned in to Mallory appear on a shelf behind the Guild Master's desk in the Ragged Flagon Cistern. The items can be stolen from the guild itself.

There is no quest attached to the Right Eye of the Falmer, so it can be sold to merchants who buy stolen goods.

Thief's Last Words
The following is a letter found on the corpse of a thief in Irkngthand.


 * "Nobody thought they were real, but I've seen them.
 * The Eyes of the Snow Elves!
 * The Dwarves thought they took them from the Falmer, but they themselves were fooled. A statue, built in secrecy by the slaves, the eyes burn into you, and I see them even now. S'raffa escaped through the collapsing tunnel, but he'll never escape what we've seen. Men will never believe him, and he'll be driven mad by the knowledge that he'll never see them again. But I may yet see them again before I die."'

Bugs

 * The Left Eye of the Falmer may not spawn. The quest continues, but no reward can be collected.
 * PS3 360 The Left Eye of the Falmer may not have any message upon acquiring it stating to take it to Delvin like previous items, it will cause it to not be sellable to Delvin thus making it impossible to complete the side quest.
 * PS3, 360; The "Left Eye of the Falmer" may not trigger the option to sell to Delvin Mallory. However the quest still completes as normal and you may sell the Eye to any merchant. The only downside is the Eye will not be placed on the trophy shelves in the Flagon Cistern, making your trophy collection incomplete. Can be manually placed on shelf but "can" randomly fall and/or disappear.
