Ever wonder what happens if you forget to take off the Gray Cowl of Nocturnal in Riften? Watch as the guards immediately turn hostile!

I just finished a major quest and fast-traveled back to Riften, completely forgetting I was still wearing the legendary Gray Cowl. In Skyrim lore, this artifact is cursed by Nocturnal, making the wearer a "wanted" criminal instantly. As soon as I stepped through the gates, a Riften guard drew his sword.

Serana was ready for a fight, but since it was my blunder, I used the Pacify illusion spell to calm the chaos before any blood was spilled. A quick lesson in keeping your "Gray Fox" identity hidden!
