I walk into Cidhna mine in Markarth. Right away I have these Silver-Blood bastards talking trash to me:

"Steal this, I'll break your neck..." - Silver-Blood
"Touch this, and I'll smash your face.." - Silver-Blood

I'm like, "WTF man, I'm just down here looking. Maybe somebody needs help with a mission, you know?"

"Watch your step, or I'll break your legs." - Silver Blood


At this point, I'm like F it. I'm outta here. But before I leave, I walk by one of the brothers who talked trash. I backhanded the sum [censored].

Well, low and behold, everyone of the last bastards comes at me and Lydia full [censored] with their weapons. All of them are now dead. Including
Urzoga gra-Shugurz.


I paid a Markarth guard 20 septims, and everything went better than expected...

That's why Markarth is the worst town is Skyrim.

It is certainly up there. Even if you are either Stormcloak or Imperial, that town is a disaster.
