![]() ![]() ![]() By the time you come along, Thonar Silver-Blood is on the verge of having Madanach executed just to be safe because he knows the guy is testing the boundaries of his control, and Madanach's prepared for that eventuality. I don't know who's stupider The guards for letting the passage exist, or the Forsworn for not using it until you come along. What the hell is wrong with Madanach, and for that matter, all the guards and Forsworn in Markarth? Madanach has a passage out of the prison literally ten feet from where he sits.Is there anyone besides the Dragonborn so obsessed with collecting literally every mythic item in all of Skyrim? As for why nobody's actively collecting them, well simple. I'm tired of all these stones clogging up my inventory. It would be nice if she at least offered to take them off your hands when you find them.Vex herself will reveal that she wanted you to collect the stones, not sell them off at the first chance to some random peddler, which explains why she gives you such a low evaluation at first. Perhaps it does fetch a high price to people other than the thieves guild, but most don't know more than one exists, hence no collectors. Vex implies that very few people know what they are and fewer still know there's more than one out there.The only logical conclusion is that Vex is the only person in the world that knows about the stones of Barenziah. Vex can't be the only person in Skyrim that knows what they are, and logically you should run into the other collectors whilst collecting them yourself. All that still doesn't explain from a story standpoint why no one else is collecting the stones.Vex is egging you on to collect the gems instead of selling them so they can get the artifact. The Artifact at the end is special to the thieves Guild.And it's not that unusual for a complete artifact to be worth a lot more than the sum of its component materials. Vex might be nudging you into finding the rest because she's a thief, you're a thief and it'd be a pretty awesome thing for the Thieves Guild to have. No one has tried to collect them all because it would be really really really hard. Maybe they do fetch a decent-ish price, but some people just think they're cool paperweights while others have them just for the cred. Well, they're glowing pink gems that hover in their own custom-made boxes, but otherwise have no obvious magical benefit or mineral value.Vex's whole evaluation of the gems doesn't seem to make sense. When you show your first stone of Barenziah to Vex, she mentions that she won't buy it because (paraphrased) "They're only of worth if one has the complete set." If people aren't buying them because they're not worth much on their own, then no-one's actively collecting the whole set which is known (at the very least by scholars) to be valuable. ![]()
