Encourage/start a system 'Children of the Guilds' - homeless children and orphans can join guilds to be educated, given a skill and to have a home and food. There will be a small amount of funding for this, but mainly from the Guild's coffers. Obviously not for illegal guilds.

Tell the two Blades that they should serve me, as Dragonborn and ruler. Remind them that their true purpose, and the reason the Blades first came to Tamriel, is to serve the Dragonborn. Also explain to them that Paarthunax has over come his natural evil, and that if he does rebel, I will kill him before any harm can be done. If they refuse, revoke their name as Blades. It may not do much, but I think they won't like it.

Get all 'moral' followers to join the Blades, with or without Delphine and Esbern. They will be my personal protectors and the army that isn't just mercenaries. They will also do spy stuff, but not *evil* stuff. Make sense?

'Immoral' followers can join the Thieves' Guild or Dark Brotherhood.

Only Nazir, Babette, Cicero, Brynjolf, Delvin, Vex and Karliah of the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood are to know that I am the Jarl of Riften. The same with the Volikhar Clan, with only a few of my most trusted knowing.

All Guilds will report to me and Niranye on important plots or events.

Allow Khajiit into Riften.

Have Dunmer and Argonians go to Windhelm amd attempt to stir up trouble and support for me. It should be fairly easy, considering how badly treated they are.

Any forts in Riften are to be repaired and populated, including Fort Dawnguard.

Examine and attempt to replicate or improve the crossbows of the Dawnguard. Use Eorlund Grey-Mane for help. See if we can find any crossbow schematics, in Dwemer ruins or Fort Dawnguard.

Attempt to convince people to join our cause, emphasising our lack of racism and religious tolerance. Also talk about how noble it is to join the Companions, serve the Dragonborn, not with either side in the Civil War, etc. Use the Bard's College and any bard friends I have to encourage this and to sing songs about me.

Talk to Jarl Balgruuf about how *terrible* it is to dictate someone's religion but about how outright war with the Empire helps noone. Explain how harmful it would be to Whiterun to chop its culture up and to ban worship of Talos.

Quietly decrease Maven's hold over the Thieves Guild, stopping them being just her lapdogs.

Tell both the Empire and the Stormcloaks that we have no quarrel with them.

Encourage Guild joining.

Turn my houses into Guild Meeting Halls - a place for a few people - 'ambassadors' from each Guild to talk and discuss co-operation and also to allow influence in that city. For example, if the Companions find a magical artifact and want to discuss it with the College or if someone wants to join the Bards' College when they live in Riften. Expand Breezehome, use Jorvaskarr or use Lakeview in Whiterun, due to the small size. (do whichever single one seems best to you, my advisor)

Start making laws on Vampires and werewolves less harsh and try to provide help. Try and normalise them slightly too.
