The Katariah is a ship in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Docked in the Haafingar Hold, likely named after Katariah I, the former Dunmer Empress during the Third Era. The Katariah appears during "Hail Sithis!" quest and is docked for the rest of the game. To enter The Katariah, the Dragonborn must climb the anchor chain at the ship's stern.

Design

On the bow of ship sits the carved effigy of an Elven woman, while a statue on the stern displays a winged dragon figure. The woman on the bow is presumed to be Katariah. Due to the ship being the Emperor's personal flagship, Imperial banners similar to those of the Penitus Oculatus Outpost and of forts under Imperial Legion control, are draped on the sides of the hull and flying from the bow and stern of the ship.

Quests

If the Dragonborn has been appointed Listener of the Dark Brotherhood, they will need to infiltrate The Katariah to assassinate Emperor Titus Mede II on a contract set up by Amaund Motierre from the Elder Council.
