Thana had heard rumors of a special kind of skooma, a Redwater version more potent and powerful than the regular kind.

When the Riften Guard released her after the Cragslane operation, she finally had the opportunity to ask around.

Some said it was from an area north of Riften, or near Shor's stone but it wasn't until people mentioned seedy looking "pilgrims" heading west from the road that she had any idea where to go. Eventually she did find the place, a ramshackle looking house nearly fallen down and "guarded" by two that urged her downstairs.

Now she would hopefully find an end to the pain and be able to push away the world for a while.
