The Thieves Guild is one of several joinable factions
that appear in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Stationed in The Ratway beneath the city of Riften, members of the Thieves Guild are renowned
for causing trouble in the city. Members of the guild specialize in stealing objects of varying value or loaning septims. Most citizens view them unfavorably; Mjoll the Lioness has made it her duty to
maintain order in Riften and pledges to dismantle the guild. Maven
Black-Briar, the affluent owner of the popular Black-Briar
Meadery, consorts with the guild in exchange for their aid. The
guild has an uncanny luck due to certain members striking up a deal with the Daedric Prince, Nocturnal, to serve as her guardians.
this is how you join:
To join the Thieves Guild the Dragonborn must enter Riften during the day, and speak to Brynjolf, a red-headed Nord male, who can be
found in the Riften Marketplace between 8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Once the Dragonborn is within proximity, Brynjolf will automatically attempt to strike up
a conversation in which the Thieves Guild prerequisite quest A
Chance Arrangement can be started. Alternatively, in the evenings
past 8:00 p.m., the Dragonborn can encounter Brynjolf at The Bee and Barb inn, at which time he will tell
the player to speak with him during the day at his stall in the Riften
Marketplace.
Brynjolf, when encountered during the daytime, will give you the instructions
to steal Madesi's Silver Ring from the strongbox located under his stall and
then plant it inside of the pocket of Brand-Shei, the local general stall owner. He is
identified as the only male Dunmer (or Dark Elf) in the crowd. Brynjolf will
start a distraction by calling everybody within the area to listen to the story
of his latest product that he's selling. During this time, carry out the plan as
discussed with Brynjolf. Planting the ring will instantly end Brynjolf's tale he
is telling to the crowd thus dispersing it. He will now tell you to meet
him in the Ragged Flagon down in the Ratway to discuss membership.
Even if you fail to acquire the ring, Brynjolf will still allow your joining
of the Guild, saying he still believes you have what it takes despite your
failure. It will, however, make a few members of the guild treat you with more
disdain, initially.

Trivia
- Occasionally a random event occurs where an unnamed Thief
will attempt lockpick a door in any city. Guards will attack
the thief until he's either dead or he escapes. The thief will never attack the
player, and he can be killed without any repercussions.
- Normally this random thief has:
- Gold (random amount)
- Lockpicks (random amount)
- Random houseware (candlesticks, platters, plates, etc.)
- Gems (random assortment)
- Normally this random thief has:
- In the small training room in the Cistern, there are chests for each level
of difficulty. These chests contain leveled loot, and will respawn after a few
in-game days, providing the player with a good source of money and
training. - A book written by Delvin Mallory can be found in the Flagon, called Shadowmarks. Shadowmarks are carvings into
buildings near their main doorways, and are very handy in pointing out locations
around cities that have good loot. - Unlike the other factions, namely The Companions and the College of Winterhold, none of the Thieves Guild
members can be married. This is also true with the Dark Brotherhood.
