You become the Thane of Whiterun during one of the earliest main quests. Simply kill the dragon , discover that you're Dragonborn , and the Jarl will practically trip over himself in his eagerness to make you a Thane.
Becoming Thane of Morthal is fairly straightforward. First, you investigate the house that burned down and complete the subsequent quests. The grateful Jarl will tell you that she'd be happy to make you Thane as long as you are "known through her Hold. The politics of Markarth are quite complicated, and thus becoming Thane is as well. The idea is to complete enough quests for both the Jarl and his Steward, driving out the Forsworn from their city and their hills, as well as completing the Civil War Quests.
Kill Forsworn for the Jarl and his Steward. Help five citizens of Markarth and he'll make you Thane. Talk to Falk Firebeard in the Blue Palace , and he will give you a quest summoning you to investigate lights and sounds coming out of Wolf Skull Cave which is located in the mountains west of Solitude. After completing the quest, talk to Falk again and he will reward you. You may now speak directly to the Jarl herself, and she will thank you and give you one more task.
After you have completed this task go back and talk to the Jarl. She will invite you to be a thane of hers but in order to be a Thane, you must first own property in Solitude. To become Thane of Riften, you must own this piece of property.
It doesn't matter if you will use the house or not but you must buy it. The best way to earn money quickly in Skyrim is to either complete quests naturally or sell items to various vendors in the world.
There is only one thing left to do once you purchase this house and help 5 citizens. Once you have Honeyside and helped citizens of Riften, you need to stop the disruptive Skooma operation that is happening in the city.
This will require the completion of two quests. They'll ask you to enter the Riften warehouse and kill Sarthis Idren, a key player in the operation. Once complete, you will have to find a note that details the operation and report back to the Jarl. This starts the "Supply and Demand" quest, which asks players to enter Cragslane Cavern to kill the rest of the dealers. After this is finished, return to the Jarl to be promoted to Thane of the Rift.

You do have to pick one side, and are considered a faction friend after that. This works like the Forsworn; siding with the Reiklings gives you a neat summon, but not all Reiklings in Solstheim will be friendly when you meet them. You can't become High King, even if you get your hands on the crown.
You also won't become the Emperor or a senior General in the Empire. You get a better rank with the Stormcloaks, but it doesn't mean anything. The Bard's College of Solitude doesn't have ranks other than anecdotal dialog mentions, the whole way you join the Forsworn is to free their leader and work for him, etc.
Thanes have limitations. If you are Thane, you can get away with minor crimes You can still go to jail. Don't get addicted to nobility if you have twitchy fingers around other rich people. It happened to me in Whiterun and Riften.
This means you can become Thane of that hold a second time. If you negotiate a town away during Season Unending and then take it back over for the original occupant, you don't have to re-Thane yourself twice. Once you are Thane in the eyes of one side, it stays that way. Any factions not mentioned above, you can safely assume have no conflicts for joining them.

Cancel Save. Universal Conquest Wiki. Much of the info for each hold was added to articles on each individual quest. Markarth [ ] Occasionally when first speaking to the Jarl, instead of offering quests he will immediately grant the title of Thane of Markarth, and allow the purchase of property and assign a housecarl. PC PS3 If the Forsworn were aided in the quest " No One Escapes Cidhna Mine " before starting the quest chain to become a Thane, the steward may no longer offer the quests required, making that route to becoming Thane inaccessible.
Pressing M while the quest is highlighted on the log will cause the map give directions. Once given the shield, the Jarl will offer to let the Dragonborn buy a house, and the steward will have the dialogue to sell it. May be fixed by buying all the upgrades to Vlindrel hall. If already a Thane before the quest " Season Unending ," the citizens of The Reach may need to be helped again.
When done, the next step is to buy Honeyside from her steward. If Honeyside is visited immediately after purchasing it, and then the Dragonborn tries speaking with the Jarl, the quest to return to the Jarl of Riften remains in the quest log and the dialogue to become a Thane never triggers. PC Using the console command "Player. After waiting for a while and returning to her, the option to become a Thane appears.
An enchanted iron weapon may be received instead of the Blade of the Rift. If the Civil War is completed by siding with the Imperials, the Dragonborn will be granted the ability to receive the house immediately, but will be unable to become a Thane and reap the benefits, as the topic of becoming a Thane never appears. Exception: It will appear if the Dragonborn's relationship status with Maven is high enough.
However, this requires not only completing the thieves guild quest line and interacting positively with her. The Dragonborn will also have to complete the " Quill of Gemination " quest.
If the above fails, PC users can use the console and enter: setstage FreeformRiftenThane 10 The quest should progress normally from there. If the Dragonborn obtains any of the quests listed above for Riften and does not complete one of them i. A solution is to complete the outstanding quest s. Jarl will have no option to name the Dragonborn a Thane. The only apparent way to avoid this is to speak to the Jarl after purchasing Honeyside but before visiting it.
Solitude [ ] PC Jarl Elisif will say that the Dragonborn may become a Thane by buying a house and helping five people in her hold, but the quest does not initiate. This causes it to be impossible to become a Thane of Solitude though the house may still be purchased. Quest will not be active after speaking with Elisif if the house has not been purchased. If five citizens have already been helped, finding and completing a sixth will move it forward and add the task of speaking with Elisif.
This may happen if the citizens were helped before the quest to help five citizens was received. A solution is to help any other citizen either do an additional side quest, give money to Dervenin or invest in a store with the investor perk.
