The Dainty Sload is a quest available in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim TES5. After completing at least five small jobs for the Thieves Guild in Solitude, speak to Delvin Mallory in The Ragged Flagon. There, he will inform the Dragonborn of a 'special job' in Solitude. The Dragonborn is directed to speak with Erikur, a wealthy businessman who lives in the city.
Objectives

Speak to Erikur.
Speak to Sabine Nytte.
Acquire Balmora Blue.
Plant the Balmora Blue.
Speak to Erikur.

Walkthrough

Travel to the Blue Palace in Solitude and speak with Erikur. He may be at his home if it is late at night. It is not advisable to break into his house; this may lower the relationship rank. It is better to wait until morning, where he can be found in the Blue Palace.

He is not particularly polite, and seems to doubt the Dragonborn's skills, saying that he demanded Delvin's best man for this job. By speaking further with him, Erikur will eventually tell the Dragonborn that a man called Volf cheated him over a business transaction. Volf is the captain of a ship called the Dainty Sload, and Erikur asks the Dragonborn to frame him for a crime.

He then directs the Dragonborn to plant an illegal drug known as Balmora Blue in the captain's footlocker inside the ship. The plan is to frame Volf for possession of an illicit substance, so Volf will be promptly sent off to jail.
Speaking with Sabine Nytte
Sabine's Footlocker

Sabine's Footlocker, hidden beneath the dock by the Red Wave.

The next stop is the Red Wave, docked in Solitude's harbor outside the East Empire Company Warehouse. On the deck or somewhere inside the ship is Sabine Nytte, who claims to be the only one who can obtain Balmora Blue. She will sell its location and the key for 1500 GoldIcon. The location and key can be purchased or stolen. By choosing the purchase option, skip the rest of this section and see the Acquire Balmora Blue section below.

If the Balmora Blue is to be stolen, Sabine Nytte has two keys that can be used in the quest. Pickpocket her for either or both the keys, or pick the locks instead.

A safe containing a note about the Balmora Blue is in the bottom-most deck of the Red Wave. Pick the Master lock or use Sabine's key to open it. The note reads, "I stashed the Balmora Blue in a chest under the Wave. I put the best lock on it that money can buy."

Acquire Balmora Blue

The chest is in the water directly beneath the dock running parallel to the Red Wave. It can be lockpicked (Expert) or opened with another key pickpocketed from Sabine. Once the Balmora Blue is acquired, the next stop is The Dainty Sload. Erikur may try to speak to the Dragonborn after leaving the docks. It is not necessary to speak to him if he doesn't.

The location of Dainty Sload

Head for the Dainty Sload, anchored out towards open water. There are two Corsairs guarding the entrance to the interior of the ship. Either defeat them or sneak past them. To remain undetected, wait until the patrolling corsair disappears behind the cabin and slip through the unlocked door. Inside, there are more corsairs to deal with. With a high enough Sneak, it is fairly easy to sneak past the guards. Go down the stairs into the bottom of the ship, then back up the other side.

When the quest is completed, Delvin will mention that the Thieves Guild is making progress. As a result, there will be a new merchant or service in
