Goldenglow Estate

History
A large bee farm estate outside Riften, it is located on an island on Lake Honrich. The honey produced here is the direct supply to Maven Black-Briar's Meadery, making it an important location around Riften. An Altmer named Aringoth owns the estate, and he has hired several mercenaries to patrol both the estate grounds and the estate itself.

The sewer entrance is located on the northwest side of the estate just on the shore near a mercenary's walkway.

The mercenaries outside are hostile to a member of the Thieves Guild, and neutral to adventurers just stumbling across it. That said, the house itself and nearby surrounding property is walled off by an invisible wall to players randomly wandering past.

If you go to the basement level of the Estates, there is a place to the immediate right (should be 2 Bookcases leaning on each other with 2 stools on top of one another) where the Mercenaries in the immediate area cannot discover you if using Sneak, even if they are standing right in front of you (they tend to walk through the door to the first floot). This can be used to level up Sneak to 100 as there are 2 Mercenaries in the room. If you are discovered, however, you cannot retreat here and sneak as they will follow you.
