The Thieves Guild is a group of thieves that live down in the Ratways of Riften. In order to join them, though, you must first talk with Brynjolf, who scouts the upper grounds looking for new members to join. He isn't the Guildmaster and doesn't want to be, but he's still the one in charge of new blood.

The Guild had been struggling for some time until the Dragonborn came along. Originally they'd only come to the Ratways looking for Esbern but with enough prodding from Brynjolf, they decided to join up with the Guild.

When the Dragonborn became entangled in the web of secrecy and lies woven by the former Guildmaster Mercer Frey, he became a first-hand witness of Mercer's taste for blood and cold-hearted betrayal. Mercer had been stealing from the Guild Vault for years under everybody's noses, but with a little help from the former outcast member Karliah, Mercer was brought to justice and Karliah's name was cleared.

Ysmir is the new Guildmaster, but isn't always around the Flagon or the Cistern due to his other priorities as the Dragonborn. Otherwise, he trusts Brynjolf as his "Guild Second" to keep things running smoothly. Delvin Mallory acts as the "Guild Second" to Brynjolf, being one of the longest-standing members.

Maven Black-Briar is not a direct member of the Guild, but without her the Guild would have not likely survived this long. Maven has employed the Guild for jobs regarding her meadery. The Guild's run of "bad luck" has been caused by Karliah trying to make Mercer look bad in front of Maven, but unfortunately Karliah had to hit Maven where it hurts - Goldenglow Estate.

By buying out Goldenglow, Karliah was able to direct the flow of honey to Sabjorn at Honningbrew in Whiterun. Maven can't stand Sabjorn for stealing her honey source, so she demanded the Guild look into Goldenglow and make a statement for her, since Aringoth (the owner of Goldenglow) wasn't responding to Maven.

Now with Mercer gone, things are slowly starting to look up for the Guild again. Coin is slowly starting to flow again, but it will take years to undo the damage Mercer caused. Brynjolf will be hunting voraciously for talented new members to bring into the Flagon.

If you do your job right, you'll earn a good amount of coin. If you do enough jobs to the Guild's degree of satisfaction, you may find yourself saddled with a special job. Think of the Guild as one solitary unit that operates only with the dedication of its parts. When you do well, the Guild does well. And when the Guild does well, you make more money.

While the Guild might not be the most honest choice of making a living, the Guild absolutely abhors killing. They're thieves, not assassins. That stuff is left to the Dark Brotherhood, they say. If you kill on the job, you won't get any coin. It doesn't matter if you put the thing where it was supposed to be, or stole the thing they wanted you to steal. If blood is on your hands, the coin stays out of them. Try again, and don't kill anyone this time.
