Riften is said to be run by the Thieves Guild. I know it's possible to join them. Now I wonder if I alternatively could bring them down as well. I do not mean killing all the NPCs, but I would rather bring them down in a quest-line of its own.
I want to know if it's possible to bring them down, because if it's not I would join them, even though I haven't stolen anything yet, as I want a rather complete play-through. And if it means selling this poor dark elf out … well … please tell me it's possible 😉

Although there's a way to bring down the Dark Brotherhood, there is no similar quest or quest line to bring down the Thieves Guild.
On the other hand, there's no disadvantages for joining and completing the Thieves Guild quest line - only benefits, achievements, and advantages!
