The Litany of Larceny is a quest available in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. This unmarked side quest for the Skyrim Thieves Guild involves collecting various trophies found all over Skyrim.
These special items serve as a visual reminder of the Dragonborn's accomplishments with the Skyrim Thieves Guild. They are displayed on the trophy cases in the Ragged Flagon Cistern. There are two sets of trophies obtained by separate methods, all while in the service of the Thieves Guild.

Walkthrough[]
- "Well, well. I was looking for this little beauty. If you happen across any other unusual trinkets like this, be sure and bring them to me. I promise it'll be worth the effort."
- ―Delvin Mallory
The first group of trophies can be found while completing quests from the main Thieves Guild questline. These items can be sold to Delvin Mallory, for leveled amounts of gold, from 100–800 (the value of these items are affected by Barter bonuses and Speech perks).
The second group of trophies are rewards for completing a set number of "jobs" for Delvin and Vex (randomized missions known as radiant quests). As more jobs are completed, more trophies are unlocked. The first seven trophies are unique versions of the items that are the targets of Vex's sweep jobs and burglary jobs, while the eighth is a safe filled with replenishing randomized loot.
A final trophy, the Crown of Barenziah, is unlocked by completing the side-quest "No Stone Unturned."
Removing items from the trophy case is not counted as stealing, and they can be taken to sell or have as decoration in the Dragonborn's home.
Larceny trophies[]
| Trophy | Location |
|---|---|
|
Located on the second floor of the Goldenglow Estate, on a bedside table in Aringoth's bedroom. | |
|
Located in Sabjorn's office at the Honningbrew Meadery. The key to the office is given towards the end of the "Dampened Spirits" quest, but the room with the trophy needs to be picked open as the key does not unlock the door with the trophy. | |
|
Can be found in office overlooking East Empire Company Warehouse, located on the table within the room. One man in the office, and there are a few patrolling the area below it. | |
|
|
It can be found in the Snow Veil Catacombs, in a room with a wooden staircase and a stone staircase. The wooden stairs lead to the room with the ship. Once the ship is removed from the pedestal, a trap will drop exploding jars down onto the oil-covered floor. It is easier to grab the ship while standing in the doorway and simply retreat into the hall until the fire goes out. Recommended): The Telekinesis spell can be used to bring the ship to the Dragonborn without having to step into the room. The explosive jars will still drop but no damage will be received. One way to get Telekinesis is through the College of Winterhold main questline as there is a chance the spell tome will be available when doing "The Staff of Magnus" quest (as soon as you enter the crypt, look for a table on the right and the spell tome may be there). Another way to get telekinesis is to go to Redwater DenDG where there will be one next to the body of a mage in a cell if the Dragonborn drinks the Redwater Skooma and goes to a booth. |
|
Located inside Calcelmo's Laboratory which is a part of the Dwemer Museum in Markarth. Found on a pedestal in the room with the door exiting to the Wizards' Balcony. | |
|
Located within Riftweald Manor in Riften. The bust can be found in the basement on a table near the exit to the Ratway Vault. It is sitting next to the quest objective of "The Pursuit," and can easily be overlooked. | |
|
Located in the final chamber of Irkngthand on the corpse of Mercer Frey. |

Trivia[]
- The occupancy of the alcoves in the Ragged Flagon and, by extension, promotion to Guildmaster, are not unlocked after 125 radiant quests from Vex or Delvin are completed, but rather after completing five radiant quests in a hold. What hold a quest takes place in is randomly assigned when the quest is started, but saving and reloading can be used to start a quest in the desired hold. After completing five quests in each hold, a unique quest for that hold will become available that will cause the alcoves of the Ragged Flagon to become occupied with merchants after it has been completed. When all alcoves are filled, promotion to Guildmaster become available.
- Using console commands to set radiant quests as having been completed will only unlock the Thieves Guild Safe, and not any of the preceding rewards. This can be circumvented by using console commands to complete as many radiant quests as are needed for the next immediate reward minus one, and then completing that final quest normally. The same is true for being offered a hold's unique job.
