Vlindrel Hall

 is a purchasable property in Markarth. Like all of the homes in Markarth, Vlindrel Hall's interior and exterior are built in the Dwemer architectural style with a large golden door leading into the cliffside. This house is the highest of all the homes in Markarth and offers a wonderful view of the Dwemer buildings, waterfalls, and surrounding mountains of The Reach. Understone Keep is a short trip away, accessible along the upper walkway. The total cost of the house is 12,900.

Acquisition
There are three methods of acquiring this home, all of which are listed below.
 * Speak to Jarl Igmund, who has two "requests" to gain permission to purchase Vlindrel Hall and a third "request" to acquire the housecarl:
 * Kill the leader of a Forsworn group that could be located in several random locations, such as Bruca's Leap Redoubt or Red Eagle Redoubt.
 * Find Hrolfdir's Shield (may only be done at level 20 and above)
 * Assist five people in The Reach, which makes Argis the Bulwark the housecarl for Vlindrel Hall.


 * Complete the Liberation of Skyrim quest, which allows for the purchase of this house from the new steward.
 * Negotiate the exchange of Markarth during the Season Unending quest, making the new Jarl more open to allowing the purchase of the property.

Advantages

 * The Abandoned House at the market place offers a free and handy starting point right at level 12, while Vlindrel Hall offers a fancy paid expansion later on.
 * Vlindrel Hall can be furnished with both an alchemy lab and an arcane enchanter.
 * Endon, the thieves guild fence, is located nearby for convenience.
 * It is a good choice for book collectors, as it boasts three large bookshelves conveniently located next to each other instead of scattered smaller shelves, as are found in Hjerim and Proudspire Manor.
 * It has quite a few weapon plaques.
 * It is the highest house in Markarth and offers scenic views of Skyrim and the Dwemer architecture nearby.
 * It is not very cluttered compared to the other houses in the game, meaning clumsy players are not as likely to knock over items perched on top of shelves.

Disadvantages

 * Smithing amenities are available, including a Smelter, but they are located across town with a distance similar to that between Breezehome and Dragonsreach.
 * Vlindrel Hall only has one exit, so discreet getaways may be difficult.
 * With the add-on, the children's room replaces the alchemy lab, although there is an alchemy lab in the keep by the Hall of the Dead and in the Hag's Cure.
 * Male adopted children do not enjoy living in Markarth, and will complain about it from time to time.
 * It has by far the worst lighting of any house in the game.
 * It has only one mannequin. This is below the mannequin counts of the other purchasable houses in Skyrim, with only Breezehome having less.

Upgrades
A selection of upgrades are available for purchase from the Steward after the house is purchased.

If the Alchemy Lab is converted to a children's room the barrels inside the room disappear, along with their contents. If the children's room is converted back to an Alchemy Lab, (another 1,000 gold), the contents that were in the barrels are restored, in the mead barrel.

Trivia
