OK, if you're familiar with the quest for Ahzidal's artifacts, it takes a long time to dig down to the entrance and you're told to wait for a
message telling you to come to the ruin when they find it.

So there I am in Whiterun, when a (fully clothed) courier approaches me, goes through his message for you sir spiel and...nothing.
I have no letter in my inventory. I'm thinking maybe SR and DB aren't playing well together and run all the way to Solsthiem just to get
told nope nothing yet.

I guess this was just a Skyrim glitch. Has anyone else had an empty handed messanger?
