The largest city in The Rift and the only city with part of its own city outside its walls. Riften is one of the few cities that remained ran down after the war; Its not worse than it was, but nor is it better in some senses. The guards are still willing to turn their heads for a pocket full of gold. The Thieves Guild still runs the Ratway under the city and torments it to make sure the city knows it is always going to be there. Its also still ran by the Black-Briar Family even though they do not have a family relative as Jarl, they may as well have the city in their back pocket with the Thieves Guild there.
