Update: I kept forgetting to add this to Skyrim SE/AE, so here it is.
I like to play as an enchanter (there are some who call me Tim), but in the early game, your Conjuration skill is too low to cast Soul Trap, and finding a Soul Trap weapon is very unlikely. It's almost like Bethesda didn't think anyone would want to be an enchanter, which made me sad.
So to celebrate Skyrim's 8th anniversay, I published this simple mod to the workshop, and added it to the Nexus for LE a few years later, and now finally make it available to SE/AE. It adds a Soul Trap dagger and some Black Soul Gems to the mage prisoner in Helgen Keep. I leave it to your imagination where he was hiding them from his captors. There are additional black soul gems hidden elsewhere in the keep. Finally, I added another iron dagger with a custom enchantment -- Soul Trap, Absorb Health, and Absorb Stamina -- somewhere else in Helgen Keep. I like this combination because in combat, it heals you and gives more power attacks. See the screen shots for hints on locations. At low levels, you'll want to tag your target with the soul trap weapon, then finish him or her off with another weapon, so you don't drain its charges too fast. I gave the Soul Trap dagger a long duration for this purpose. Later you can use the triple-effect weapon or learn its enchantment to apply to any weapon.
You can get all these items prior to or near the prison room, so you can harvest a lot of souls from the Imperials who are arguing whether to wait for Gen Tullius -- or maybe you followed Hadvar despite them sending you to the block without being on the list. Either way, you can get a good start on your enchanting skills. You are basically preventing some people who were going to kill you from reaching Sovngarde, so that you can have colorfully-glowing equipment. If you use an alternate start mod, the items will still be in Helgen Keep waiting for you.
This mod goes well with BIG: Soul Gem Mining (oh wait, that's not ported to SE/AE), and a nice Chianti.
This mod may conflict with other mods that remove certain containers in Helgen Keep, but I don't know of any. If you don't want to wait until Whiterun to find an enchanting table, look in the basement of Anise's house across the river from the Guardian Stones.
