📋 About This Mod
A mod I made for more or less myself since I couldn\'t find one like it so I just went ahead and made it myself. All it does is adds a note which can be found in the Ragged Flagon and it\'s Cistern (see screenshots) which shows which Shadowmarks mean what.
Adds a note to Skyrim that displays the various Shadowmarks and their meanings. A simple, lore-friendly utility for Thieves Guild players who want to decode the symbols scattered across the world. With 617 endorsements and 7,744 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated addition.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 617 endorsements and 7,744 downloads.
- Handy reference for players who want to understand the Shadowmarks without looking them up online.
- Tiny mod that won't bloat your load order or cause performance issues.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013 — may be incompatible with the latest Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition updates.
- No screenshots or detailed instructions provided, so you're on your own for installation.
- Only adds a note — if you already know the Shadowmarks by heart, this mod is useless.
For Thieves Guild players who want an in-game reference to the Shadowmarks without breaking immersion. Also for completionists who like collecting lore items. Skip if you're not interested in the Thieves Guild or already know all the symbols.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're playing Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod has been ported or use a compatibility patch — the original was made for Oldrim.
- The note is likely added to your inventory or a specific location — check your quest items or the Ragged Flagon if you can't find it.
- Since it's a simple note, you can safely place it anywhere in your load order, but keep it above mods that overhaul the Thieves Guild questline.
