Or your marital home if you have married her, or Sky Haven Temple if you have enrolled her in the Blades.Īlternatively, you can re-hire your new steward as a follower instead, and let the old one go. For instance Lydia will head back to Breezehome if you have bought it, or Dragonsreach Palace otherwise. Otherwise, you'll have to head back to wherever it is they consider "home" to pick them back up again. If you don't want to take you're quick, you can chase off after your previous follower and re-engage them before they've walked very far. This is because the process of appointing the housecarl as steward (when they are already present at the house, but are not your current follower), is achieved by the game automatically dismissing your current follower without the usual dialogue, they will just begin to walk home: and replacing them with the housecarl, then instantly promoting the housecarl to steward, which removes *them* from your service too. Also, NOT all followers can become stewards, although all of the Housecarls can - both the local ones and the five city-based housecarls from the original game: you can move one of the city housecarls out to the country and make them steward, but that will leave you with no housecarl in the residence that he came from.)Ī further annoyance: If you decide to appoint your local Housecarl as your steward in a Hearthfire property, but have another Follower with you at the time, then your old follower will be considered to be dismissed, and wander off. You'll have to leave her behind to bring along the follower of your choice. (I assume that Lydia is your regular follower. If you want to appoint the housecarl, they'll be already there and you don't have to leave your regular follower behind. If you want to appoint somebody else, make them your follower and bring them there. Thus, it pretty much follows that the most usual people to appoint as Stewards are the local Housecarls (of course, it's possible that you don't have one yet, if you have bought the property but not yet earned the title of Thane in the holds of Falkreath, Hjaalmarch or The Pale). (If you have not built the property and bed space for the housecarl, they will live at the local Jarl's longhouse, although they will come and patrol round your grounds anyway even if this means walking through hostile terrain to do so, which is pretty much a permanent reproach to the player for not having built a livable house for them.) This means that they must be either (1) Your current follower, and you are at the residence, OR (2) Your housecarl in that hold (Gregor at Heljarchen Hall in The Pale: Rayya at Lakeview Manor in Falkreath: Valdimar at Windstad Manor in Hjaalmarch), who also lives at that residence if you have built the property and have enough bed space. Thirdly: To appoint somebody as a steward to one of your Hearthfire residences, both you and they must be actually within the bounds of the property. You must therefore have a livable house (minimum: Small House Layout) and sufficient beds (one for you and one for them: if you only build the Small House, they can be there, but you may want to put the beds in the Main Hall instead, and wait until you have a completed Main Hall to do so.) Only in the three Hearthfire residences that you have to actually build (Heljarchen Hall in The Pale, Windstad Manor in Hjaalmarch, Lakeview Manor in Falkreath.Īlso: To appoint a steward, they have to be able to live in the property. You don't get to appoint a Steward in one of your five basic town houses (Breezehome in Whiterun, Vlindrel in Markarth, Hjerim in Windhelm, Honeyside in Riften, Proudspire in Solitude). Assuming you are not using any non-Bethesda mods:
