Knights of the Thorn Headquarters

The Knights of the Thorn Headquarters is a building west of Cheydinhal (quest-related).

It is the headquarters of the Knights of the Thorn, a private order of knights led by the son of the Count of Cheydinhal, Farwil Indarys. The building serves as a residence, training facility, and leisure area for the remaining members of the order (including Bremman Senyan and Jhared Strongblade). Access is restricted, and entering will be considered trespassing until after you have been made a knight of the order during the related quest.

The building contains two zones: Knights of the Thorn Headquarters and Knights of the Thorn Basement.

Knights of the Thorn Headquarters

The building doesn't seem to benefit from significant funding from the Count, as the first floor holds only a few clutter containers (all respawning except the three sacks) and some cheap tableware and pottery. The only item of note is a repair hammer lying on the floor between a chest and a crate. However, the many tapestries emblazoned with the Order's symbol bring some beauty to the area.

The second floor serves as the knights' living quarters and is more comfortably furnished, with a fireplace brightening the area. All of the containers contain the usual mix of clutter, food, lockpicks, and small amounts of gold, except the chest beneath the wooden stairs, which contains some gold and a small (25%) chance of precious jewelry. The only containers that respawn are the cupboard and the chest holding gold and jewlery. The second volume of The Argonian Account and a copy of The Book of Daedra are on a wooden stool, while a copy of Guide to Cheydinhal is atop a set of shelves in the southeastern corner. Unless you are part of the Order, you cannot sleep in any of the six single beds.

Going up the stairs leads you to Farwil's loft, which isn't exactly fit for a count's son, but does feature a luxurious carpet and two pieces of silver tableware. The set of drawers contains up to six pieces of upper-class clothing, while the chest at the foot of the bed contains up to three pieces of armor and/or weapons. You cannot sleep in the double bed.

Knights of the Thorn Basement

The basement is unremarkable, with many containers holding the usual clutter. On a table is a bit of food, with a copy of Thief of Virtue on another table nearby, while the wine racks hold a selection of cheap (36 bottles) and Surilie Brothers (7 bottles) wine. All of the containers respawn except for the two sacks.
