Possible Thief Note Scavenger Quest (Dayspring Canyon)
Posted: Sun Feb 15, 2026 9:03 pm
Hi everyone!
I’m hoping someone here might be able to help me identify a quest I remember from a past Skyrim/Dawnguard playthrough.
I believe it was a vanilla quest, either a miscellaneous or non-journal one. I distinctly remember it involving letters/caches from a thief many years ago, addressed to a companion or accomplice. The letters seemed to lead to a few different hard-to-find locations in Dayspring Canyon. From what I remember:
- One location was near or inside an old fort ruin close to Fort Dawnguard
- One was near (or in) Aradgad Lake
- Another may have been near the first entrance to Mossy Glen Cave, or up in a rocky/snowy area (possibly near a fallen tree?)
I don't see any evidence of those letters on this playthrough, or any ruins near the Fort, so I'm not sure if it's just a false memory, there's a similar quest somewhere else, or I had a random mod installed that I don't remember.
Does this ring a bell for anyone?
Thanks in advance for any insight!
