The Thieves Guild fences in Oblivion are special merchants who buy stolen goods and become available as you progress through the Thieves Guild ranks. Here are the main Thieves Guild fences and their locations:
- Ongar the World-Weary in Bruma (Olaf's Tap and Tack or Ongar's House) - available at Pickpocket rank
- Dar Jee in Leyawiin (outside Three Sisters' Inn, Five Claws Lodge, or Dar Jee's House) - available at Bandit rank
- Luciana Galena in Bravil (The Lonely Suitor Lodge or her house) - available at Cat Burglar rank
- Orrin in Anvil (inside Anvil Castle's Smithy) - available at Shadowfoot rank
- Fathis Ules in Imperial City/Chorrol (various houses) - available at Master Thief rank
Additionally, there are fences in Dunbarrow Cove (Kovan Kren, Jak Silver, Melliwin, Khafiz) unlocked by completing the Thieves Guild questline and buying upgrades. These can be used regardless of guild membership once unlocked. There are also non-Thieves Guild fences like Mannheim Maulhand (Inn of Ill Omen) and M'raaj-Dar (Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary), but only the Thieves Guild fences count towards advancing the guild questline. Selling stolen goods to these fences is essential for progressing in the Thieves Guild and laundering stolen items (selling and rebuying removes the stolen tag)
