Saints and Seducers is a Skyrim Creation that has just been made freely available to all owners of the Special Edition. It adds several pieces of content to Bethesda’s legendary open-world RPG, including a brand new questline that many players will undoubtedly want to experience firsthand. That said, some fans may be unclear about how to start Skyrim’s Saints and Seducers questline, and this guide is here to point them in the right direction.
How to Start Saints and Seducers in Skyrim
To get right to it, players that want to take on the Saints and Seducers quest need to find Ri’saad, a traveling Khajiit trader. While it is possible to track down this merchant as he moves across Skyrim’s map, the easiest way to locate him is to wait just outside of Whiterun’s southern gates. Indeed, Ri’saad will appear in this position near the Whiterun Stables fairly frequently, and fans should simply move time forward until he ultimately shows his face.
Once the Khajiit has been located, players should speak with him and inquire about the trouble that he has been encountering along the road. This dialogue option will prompt Ri’saad to pass along a note, which can be accessed from within the Books inventory tab and grants two new quest objectives when read. Those objectives instruct players to locate the Saints bandit camp and the Seducers bandit camp, and players should follow the in-game waypoints to continue their progress through the Saints and Seducers questline.
To note, there are a couple of items that fans should make sure to loot while they are visiting the preliminary Saints and Seducers camps. More specifically, players should be certain to grab the Notes on the Blacksmith from the body of the Saints Bandit Leader as well as the Bandit's Note on Hidden Treasure from a bag at the Seducer camp. Both of these items give Skyrim fans access to optional Saints and Seducers quests, one of which unlocks Golden and Dark smithing when completed.
Furthermore, there are keys to be found in the chests at the first Saints camp and the first Seducers camp, which can be used to open the cages that are housed in those camps. For those fans that are curious, there are Elytra Nymphs inside both of these cages, and they will become a player’s pets if they are freed. While it is certainly possible to complete the Saints and Seducers quest in Skyrim without ever uncaging these Nymphs, their existence is noteworthy nonetheless.
