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[edit | edit source]

- "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[edit | edit source]
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. |
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. |
