The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints

Speak to Councilor Morvayn.

  • 1 of 3: Move up to Councilor Morvayn if necessary to get him to speak to you and award you Severin Manor.
  • 2 of 3: You can now loot Severin Manor without any of the items being marked as stolen, store stuff in its containers long-term, use its crafting stations, etc.
  • 3 of 3: You can also sleep in its beds to get the Rested bonus, but there will be the negative side effect of waking up at one of the weird glowing stones that the local cultists are all crazy for (if you haven't already finished the "Cleansing the Stones" mainline quest). Note that this can be used as a way to discover some new locations, including the Temple of Miraak.
