Alessandra's Dagger is the ceremonial dagger of Alessandra, the priestess of Arkay in Riften. It is the quest item for Pilgrimage. Alessandra gives it in the Hall of the Dead in Riften, below the Temple of Mara, and the quest can be done at any level.
The dagger is light and plain, with the base damage of a Steel Dagger. Its worth lies in the story it carries.

Weapon Levels
Some weapons in Skyrim are Levelled. The power of a levelled weapon is based on your charcters level when you get them. Some get stronger in both physical and magical aspects, while others only improve their enchantments. These items don't get better as your character levels up.
Alessandra's Dagger has the same damage at every character level.

Quest Background
Alessandra tends the Hall of the Dead in Riften alone, and she is bitter about it. "I didn't ask for this job, I got stuck with it thanks to my father," she says. Her father was a priest of Arkay, and he wanted her to follow in his steps. He died before she finished her training.
Alessandra wants her ceremonial dagger laid with his remains, to make peace with his memory. She asks the Dragonborn to carry it to Andurs, the caretaker of the Hall of the Dead in Whiterun. The dagger stays a quest item until Andurs receives it, so it cannot be dropped along the way.
Andurs is glad to see the dagger at last. "I will make sure this finds its way to his tomb as soon as possible," he promises. Back in Riften, Alessandra says she felt a touch on her cheek, which she takes as a message from her father. She is at peace for the first time in her life. She rewards the Dragonborn with a Restoration spell tome.
Notes
- Alessandra was given the dagger by her father, the head priest who sanctified her training as a Priestess of Arkay.
- Alessandra says her father rests in Windhelm, but Andurs and the Hall of the Dead are in Whiterun.
