The Blood-Kin are non-Orcish members of the Orc Strongholds. The Dragonborn can become Blood-Kin by completing an assortment of tasks or by completing the quest "The Forgemaster's Fingers." If the Dragonborn asked for this title before doing any quests, the reply would be, "Trust like that is not freely given." If the task is completed, the chief of one of the Orc Strongholds says, "You are the first to return from this task."[citation needed]

Alternatively, the Dragonborn may complete a quest for certain Orc characters. Once their favor has been gained, they will send word out to all the strongholds that the Dragonborn is to be trusted. After completing any of the following quests, the Dragonborn will be granted access to all the Orc Strongholds in Skyrim.

Trivia[]

  • If the Dragonborn successfully becomes Blood-Kin, the first Orc they helped will say "For your help, I'm sending word to the Orc strongholds that you're to be trusted. You should be welcome there now."
  • If an Orc bandit of any level is made to stop fighting by spells such as Calm and Pacify, they can then be asked to make the Dragonborn Blood-Kin, however it still results in the standard, "Trust like that is not freely given." response.
  • Only the Dawnguard version of Prophet will work; the vampire version will not.
