Getting around Skyrim is often a battle itself, simply due to the fact that the region is large and full of dangerous enemies that may attack you and your companions at a moment's notice. There are many ways to get around Skyrim quickly, including fast travel, carriage rides, and even 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:owning your own steed.
Most stables will charge a steep fee for a steed. If you want to acquire a horse for yourself but don't want to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:pay up to 1,000 septims for the service, Frost is the perfect🌄 option since you can own him free of charge by completing a quest in Riften.

How To Start Promises To Keep
Upon entering Riften, you need to enter The Bee And Barb, a tavern in the center of the town. Inside, you'll find a man named Louis Letrush standing by the main entrance. Speak to him and accept his task to visit Sibbi at the Riften Jail. You'll now find a quest marker pointing you toward the prison.
Travel To Riften
Before you can start the quest involving Frost, you'll need to travel to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the city of Riften, which is in the southeaste🌊rn section of Skyrim.

There's a carriage outside the walls of Whiterun, which is the easiest method of getting to Riften after leaving Helgen. Carriage rides to Riften only cost 20 sept🤡ims, so you should be capable of affording it regardless of your wealth.
Meeting Sibbi Black-Briar
You will not be able to enter the prison so easily. A guard will stop you from entering. Unless you happen to be a master of stealth, you cannot sneak inside because of how small the space is. You will need to persuade or bribe the guard near the entrance to the prison, depending on the level of your Speech skill.

You will have to pay the guard a sizable sum to look the other way and let you enter. |

You can try to convince the guard that you are allowed to enter, using your Speech skill. If successful, you will enter without further trouble. Otherwise, you will have to bribe your way in. |
Speak to Sibbi in his jail cell, and he'll explain Frost's backstory, in which he tells you that the horse belongs to his family and shares the location where you can retrieve his papers of ownership. You will be able to try and get a better deal if you are confident in your Speech skill.

Reminding him that you can sell him out to his mother will convince him to give you a key to his savings within the estate. This relies on a speech check. |
Ratting Them Out To Maven
If you want to have an easy way of gaining ownership of Frost after retrieving his papers, converse with Maven Black-Briar in Riften before you visit the Black-Briar Lodge. Maven w🦂alks around the stre𝔉ets of Riften during the day.
Maven may be the Jarl of Riften and will instead be found in Mistveil Keep if you traded the Rift in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Season Unending or 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:captured it in war.
Stealing Frost's Identity Papers
Travel to the Black-Briar Lodge via the quest marker on your map, the location is outside the walls of Riften.

There will be up to three mercenaries outside the Black-Briar Lodge. They will turn hostile if you get too close. While you could attempt to enter through the front door, you have two other options for getting in.
- You can use to enter is killing the lookout on the guard tower behind the lodge, then using the key to enter through the northern door by sneaking.
- Alternatively, you can enter through a basement door on the west side of the Black-Briar Lodge.
You may be attacked by Black-Briar thugs later in your adventures if you kill any of the mercenaries.
Upon entering the Black-Briar Lodge, you need to make your way downstairs and pick Frost's papers up from a box; your quest marker will point to the correct container. You may encounter guards inside the building, but you can sneak past them if you're careful, although killing them is also an option.
Sibbi's lockbox and extra money are by the stairs to the basement.
You can find an Unusual Gem for the quest 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:No Stone Unturned on the upper floors.
How To Get Ownership Of Frost
Once you have Frost's papers in your inventory, exit the lodge through any of the doors and find Frost near the stables. Get on Frost and follow your quest marker to Letrush nearby while ไriding the steed. Speak to him and choose one of the following options.

Louis will defend himself. |

The quest will end at this point, regardless of your final decision.
Who Is Frost?
Frost is one of the three unique horses in Skyrim. Although Frost isn't nearly as powerful as Shadowmere in terms of pure stats, he's still much more useful than the average horse. Frost offers 562 HP and 148 Stamina, which is more than you'll get with a stable horse.
Outside of stats, Frost also attacks enemies more often in combat. Pair this with the fact that Frost is a beautiful steed with a unique name, and it's clear that he's one of the best options for your horse in Skyrim, especially if you don't want to join the Dark Brotherhood.
