how do i get my reputation up

im doing my best to recover from my past and get back on my feet i was wondering if any one could help me get it up

Clayton,

Your reputation is what other people think of you. It should go without saying that many see you as a commendable builder and architect. This you do not have to worry about. It is your associations that are more concerning. I can recall several times when I heard reports of you associating with outlaws such as Liamod. You need to distance yourself from those who have a negative reputation, and help those who try to oppress the outlaws.

I can also recall a time when you turned on your companions on the way to the ancient ruins of Tyrisen. Whether you were corrupted or not is barely relevant; it is not something that people will just forget. You can build your reputation simply by being a good citizen of the empire, and not doing anything bad. If you lack patience, you can try to help out other people (though I suggest you concentrate on Zerehemla) by offering construction support, or really good shop prices. Bribery and half-arsed efforts will not increase your reputation legitimately.
