Bosmer Culture Quest! "Theft is an art"

✭✭✭
Greetings!
First of all Id like to say that I love the justice system. It's an essential feature to ESO considering how popular it was on Skyrim (although not entirely the same system). Anyways, as a certain NPC says, theft is an art in Bosmer culture. And quite frankly, I love stealing (In game only!), so I had an EPIPHANY
How about a certain Bosmer thief was located in each Outlaw Refuges, with a (daily?) thief quest, that would grant a successful mission a fair amount of gold? Maybe the equivalent of a purple stolen item? (750g or 850g, I dont remember).
The quest should of course be more challenging than just regular thefting, but beside those ideas, I haven't thought up much yet. Also, lorewise, I dont see the problem of this Bosmer quest giver being in each allience refugees.
SO! I would like to hear what you all think!
- Do you like this idea?
- Is it lore friendly? If not, why?
- How would you like to see this being implemented?
- How difficult should it be and how much should it reward?
- Could this be the start of a daily culture quest for each race?

✭✭✭The Rite of Theft
The Rite of Theft is a cherished Bosmeri custom, though one which outsiders have trouble appreciating.[65] The Bosmer steal from each other, and upon return of the stolen item, they demand a boon commensurate to the item's worth.[66] In ancient times, the Bosmer Vanirion the Thief was renowned for demanding over two hundred payments after invoking the Rite.[64] In more modern times, the Bosmer of Greenshade are particularly infamous for their thievery.[45]
Outsiders who understand the Rite of Theft may use it to their own advantage. Three Altmer, the so-called "Heroes of the Sanctuary", once used the Rite of Theft to secure a safe port of Summerset ships. They successfully stole from various treethanes while keeping their own treasure secure, earning the right to build their own settlement, known as Seaside Sanctuary, on the shores of Valenwood.[66]

Steal an item from him, receive a purple item from his "private collection" in return.
Can be sold or kept as a trophy."If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion." -- the 14th Dalai Lama

He's suggesting that in order to be more faithful to the lore of the rite of theft, rather than having a bosmer give you missions to steal certain items, you could be stealing items from the bosmer and returning them to him in exchange for something from him.demonaffinity wrote: »The Rite of Theft

Ah yeah, that's certainly not a bad idea.
