Drowned Sorrows is a quest available in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Background

Dagur at The Frozen Hearth in Winterhold asks for help in finding out what happened to Isabelle Rolaine, the disappeared lover of Ranmir. He does not like the condition in which Ranmir has gotten himself into. Asking the people at the inn leads to Vex, a thief in Riften who knows more about her disappearance.

Talking to Vex reveals that Isabelle wanted to make some money through thievery. She wasn't very good at it but she insisted and Vex sent her to Hob's Fall Cave for an unrevealed reason. Upon arrival at the cave, the Dragonborn will find Isabelle's body and Isabelle's Letter, written to Ranmir, explaining her intentions. Giving the letter to Ranmir offers him closure.

There is no reward for giving Isabelle's Letter to Ranmir other than extra dialog.

Trivia

• If Ranmir dies during the quest "Containment" or a dragon attack, this quest will be unable to be completed. PC users can use console command setstage freeformwinterholdc 40 to complete the quest and then get rid of the letter.
• Talking to Vex is not required to find Isabelle's corpse, or the letter; however, receiving the side quest from Dagur is required to find the letter on her corpse inside the cave.
• The dialog option to start this quest does not appear until after the Dragonborn has spoken to Haran and convinced Ranmir to pay his tab.
