Detailed Walkthrough
A Worshipper
If you visit Haelga's Bunkhouse in Riften, you may see Svana Far-Shield busy doing some cleaning there. The work seems hard and endless. She prefers to call her work slavery. Ever since her parents died and Haelga took her in, it's been a nightmare. She was surprised to learn that Haelga is such a wretched woman. ''"So now I'm stuck living here while those pigs she calls customers grope me and say the most awful things."'' In her opinion, Haelga is disgusting and she takes her worship of Dibella a bit too seriously. In the last month alone, she's slept with three different men. Svana wants to see her squirm just for once. She happens to know that after Haelga makes love, she gives her partner a token of her affection called a Mark of Dibella. If you collect the marks from Bolli, Indaryn, and Hofgrir and confront Haelga with them, it would cause her endless embarrassment. Svana is sure this is going to be great! To finish, she will remind you to try and get the marks without using violence.

Three Lovers
In order to get the three Marks of Dibella, you can use your Speech skills to persuade or intimidate the men into giving their marks to you. Alternatively, you can just pickpocket the marks from your targets. If you kill any of the men, the quest will fail immediately.

Bolli can usually be found wandering in the market or working in Riften Fishery. Talk to him about the mark and he will say ''"I have no idea what you're talking about. I'd never sleep with anyone besides my good wife,  ." You must pass an average-level Speech check to persuade him.


Indaryn can usually be found at the Black-Briar Meadery, but he will visit The Bee and Barb too. If you talk to him about Haelga, he will be a little angry ''"You're crazy! How dare you make such an accusation!" You must pass an average-level Speech check to persuade him.


Hofgrir is the owner of the Riften Stables and you can find him there easily. If you ask him to give you the mark, he will pretend to be innocent: ''"Huh? What are you talking about? I don't even know what that is."  You must pass an easy-level Speech check to persuade him. (See Bugs).


Two Rewards
Once you have all three Marks of Dibella, return to Haelga's Bunkhouse and show them to Haelga. She will be surprised. "What? How... where did you get these?" Obviously, she doesn't want anyone else to know about it, especially Svana. She will give you a magic scroll to keep you quiet. ''"If word got out that I'm practicing my Dibellan Arts in Riften, they'll run me out of town."

Bring the news to Svana, and she will be quite happy. "Oh I know. Isn't it wonderful? I bet she squirmed like a skeever when you pulled them out of your pocket." She believes things are going to be a lot different around here with your help. Then she will give you a piece of enchanted armor in return. "I want you to have this. It was my father's but I'm certain you'll put it to good use."''

Notes
The Blessing of Dibella (+10 Speechcraft— 8 hours) from the shrine in Haelga's bedroom can significantly improve your chances to obtain the marks of Dibella from their owners.
The Gift of Charity (+10 Speechcraft— 1 hour) can also help with this quest.  A beggar can be found in the center of town near where Bolli stands. 
After you complete this quest, you will be allowed to take low value items from anywhere in Haelga's Bunkhouse (due to your new friendship with Svana), even items found in her boarders' containers.
Svana will not offer the quest if one of the three lovers was already killed before talking to her. (Only confirmed for Bolli)
