Notes

• These are side quests and don't play a major role in the Thieves guild main storyline. They are required, however, in order to become the guildmaster.

Bugs

• Heimskr's House may also become a target. However, if the quest is triggered after completion of the quest Battle for Whiterun, it will be impossible to complete, as there is no longer any way to enter.
• In the quest where the Golden Urn must be stolen, upon returning to Vex she explains that the player 'got caught' or 'got arrested' and the quest will be failed even if the player did not get caught/arrested.
