Immersive Citizens or People of Skyrim. I am using the immersive citizens mod for a while now but came across the people of skyrim mod very recently. As the POS mod does change ai behavior I wanted to know if it was compatable with IC. As for searching the internet i found conflicted reports about it.

Radiant Options[edit]

This is a radiant quest which you can receive from Igmund or Thongvor Silver-Blood, whichever is Jarl of the Reach. The jarl lives in Understone Keep in Markarth. The jarl can be found in multiple places - arguing with Calcelmo, roaming the halls, sleeping in his bedroom or sitting on the throne.

Quick Walkthrough[edit]

1. Befriend the Jarl of the Reach.
2. Assist five people of the Reach.
3. Purchase Vlindrel Hall.
4. Return to the jarl for your reward.

Detailed Walkthrough[edit]

This is an umbrella quest for several other quests that must be completed if you wish to become Thane of the Reach. The jarl requires you buy the house in town as well as performing five favors for the townsfolk. Once this is achieved you can become Thane.

In order to receive this quest you must first aid the current jarl. If the jarl is Igmund, then you must usually kill a Forsworn leader and Find Hrolfdir's Shield; however, if he was ousted from Markarth during Season Unending and reinstated following The Battle for Fort Sungard, that is sufficient to begin this quest. If the jarl is Thongvor, whether he was installed via Season Unending or The Battle for Fort Sungard, then the completion of that quest is sufficient to fulfill the prerequisite.

Once you have completed the prerequisite, speak with the jarl again and he will ask you to assist the people of the hold. You must assist five people in the hold, usually by completing favor quests for them. Note that many of the quest givers are non-essential NPCs, so their deaths would result in a loss of potential quests to complete. If they die after you assist them, they still count towards your Thane status. You can also befriend merchants if you have the Investor perk by investing in their stores.

Note that there are several favor quests involving members of Orc strongholds in the Reach; assisting Orcs living in strongholds does not count towards your Thane quest, but Orcs in Markarth do count.

You may consider completing The Heart of Dibella as successfully completing it befriends all four of the priestesses of Dibella, which is almost enough to qualify for thaneship alone. It also requires you to visit Karthwasten; resolving the Sanuarach mine dispute there (for either side) will be enough to complete this requirement.

You must also purchase Vlindrel Hall, which costs 8,000 gold. Simply purchasing it is enough, there is no requirement to decorate, although it becomes more useful if decorated.

The Reach Favor Quests[edit]

Highlighted quests can be easily completed without any skill use. If any citizen offers multiple favour quests, only the first completed one will count towards Thaneship.

The Reach Stores[edit]

Investing 500 gold in certain stores will count towards Thaneship if you have not befriended the store's owner by other means. If the original owner dies and you had already invested in their store, you [can / cannot ^{[verification needed]}] also befriend their replacement.

Other Quests[edit]

The following quests also increase the disposition of citizens of the Reach, and therefore count towards this objective:

• The Book of Love: Help the Temple of Mara spread the cause of love throughout Skyrim.
• The Heart of Dibella: Find a new Sybil for the Temple of Dibella.

Reward[edit]

After helping five inhabitants and purchasing Vlindrel Hall, the journal tells you to return to the jarl. The reward, the Blade of the Reach, is a random, leveled, enchanted axe. There is a 50% chance that it will be a war axe (one-handed), and a 50% chance it will be a battleaxe (two-handed). You will also receive a housecarl named Argis the Bulwark, who will be waiting for you at Vlindrel Hall.

Bugs[edit]

• The misnamed Blade of the Reach is an axe (not a blade).
  • This bug is fixed by version 1.2.4 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch.
• The weapon may not place properly on weapon racks or plaques. Even on racks it will place horizontally, with the blade part of the axe not showing.
  • This bug is fixed by version 2.0.4 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch.

Quest Stages[edit]

• The following empty quest stages were omitted from the table: 0, 15, 25, 200.

I've received many requests for characters who look like real celebrities. Although it's pretty much impossible to recreate real people using the presets available in the Skyrim character generation screen, characters modeled after real celebrities are often quite attractive in their own way.

These sliders represent attempts on my part to recreate real celebrities, but shouldn't be thought of as replicas of these people (which they fail at completely), but taken more in the spirit of 'inspired by'. The similarity to the person modeled is tenuous at best, though some of them might pass for a sibling or cousin. Typically, I get responses from people informing me that the character I've modeled actually looks more like a different celebrity entirely. And they're usually right!

Be forewarned: without a good skin replacer, you will not be able to recreate a young celebrity using default assets. If you're using the vanilla skin textures your character won't look much like the one in the screenshots. Console gamers can expect to add at least a decade to the apparent age of characters when copying the sliders.

About the Downloads: The downloads include the slider images you see here along with a savegame set right before you decide whether to follow the Nord or the Imperial into Helgen keep. There is also a plugin that allows you to create these characters in the character generation screen: just add it to your load order and choose the last preset for the race that the character was created for. Choose the save game or plugin, you don't need both. The save game will save you some time, but the plugin will allow you to tweak things in the chargen screen.

If you would like to make a request, feel free to contact me. I can't make any promises, but I'll at least consider it.

If using one of these characters makes your game awesome, why not buy me a coffee?
