The wait is over! Today we're thrilled to announce the official release of Mjoll the Lioness as Jarl of Riften - a Patreon Exclusive expansion to Become High King of Skyrim that finally gives Riften's tireless defender the authority she's always deserved.
What's New:
⚔️ Appoint Mjoll as Jarl
Tired of corrupt leadership in Riften? As High King/Queen, you can now appoint Mjoll the Lioness to clean up the city she's fought so hard to protect. Watch as she and Aerin take charge of Mistveil Keep, bringing real change to the Rift.
📊 Full Administrative Systems
Aerin steps into his role as Mjoll's advisor, handling all the bureaucratic work she'd rather not deal with. He'll provide detailed reports on:
Approval ratings across Riften
Faith levels among the populace
Tax revenue flowing into the treasury
Mjoll focuses on what she does best - protecting people and rooting out corruption - while Aerin keeps the administration running smoothly.
🏛️ Riften-Specific Petitions
Shape Riften's future through meaningful improvements:
Clean up the canal system - Finally address Riften's filthy waterways
Merchant protection levy - Give honest traders the security they deserve
Fund Temple of Mara weddings - Spread Mara's blessings to the people
Crack down on the Thieves Guild - Mjoll's personal favorite
👥 Establish the Civil Watch (New Feature!)
Fund a citizen-led neighborhood watch to patrol Riften's streets. For 2,000 gold, you can equip and organize four trusted citizens - Hofgrir Horse-Crusher, Marise Aravel, Bersi Honey-Hand, and Asbjorn Fire-Tamer - to keep their city safe. They'll patrol in distinctive sashes, providing both visual presence and a +5 approval boost as Riften's people see their neighbors standing up for justice.
🏰 Seize the Black Briar Lodge (New Feature!)
If Maven Black-Briar has been sentenced through the justice system, you can finally seize her corrupt empire's crown jewel. The Black Briar Lodge becomes your property, complete with Royal Skyrim Guards replacing her mercenaries. Watch Maven's legacy crumble as her ill-gotten estate falls into crown hands. (+5 approval - people love seeing justice served)
💬 Extensive Custom Dialogue
Over 100 lines of new dialogue bringing Mjoll and Aerin to life in their new roles:
Character-specific responses reflecting Mjoll's direct, action-focused personality
Aerin's formal, administrative style as her trusted advisor
Context-aware idle chatter based on approval, revenue, and your choices
Dynamic reactions to everything from treasury problems to Church declarations
🎭 True Roleplay Integration
The system reacts to YOUR choices:
Join the Thieves Guild? Mjoll will comment on the hypocrisy
Declare the Church of Skyrim? She's uncomfortable with the religious fervor
Hire a town crier while people are starving? She'll call out the poor priorities
Treasury running dry? Both will worry about helping people without resources
Why This Matters:
Mjoll has always been one of Skyrim's most beloved characters - a principled warrior who fights corruption without asking for recognition. For years, players have watched her patrol Riften's streets, powerless to enact real change while Maven Black-Briar pulls the strings behind the scenes.
Not anymore.
This expansion doesn't just give Mjoll a title - it gives her the tools to finally achieve what she's always fought for. It gives Aerin a chance to shine as more than "that guy who follows Mjoll around." And it gives you the satisfaction of seeing real justice in Riften.
