Tutorial
Go near the door to your cell to be mocked by a Dark Elf prisoner across the hall, the mocking is different for each race and gender. After the mocking some guards and a robed guy will come to your cell, they demand you move to the back, so move to the back.
In this next room there is a door to 'Imperial Substructure' on the south east wall, it is locked, you can either pick the lock or grab the key of the dead goblin shaman beside the door, either way, do what ever you wish to get through this door.
In this room there is a path on the north east wall, follow this path and you'll encounter some rats and a zombie, kill them and keep following this path north until you enter another room with some rats in it, on the north west wall is an opening to another room, enter this room and kill some more rats.
At the far back north west wall is a path that leads out of this room into another, in this next room there is a path in the north corner on the south west wall, follow this path and you enter a small room with an opening on the south east wall, take this new path to a room that at the far south has a door to 'Natural Caverns' on the south east wall, open the door.
Follow this path until your reach a small room with a goblin, kill the goblin and then find the path that is on the north east wall, follow that path through a room with a goblin skirmisher and a trap, the rope that runs across the floor will trigger the big clubs of doom hanging from the ceiling to fall. Take the south east path out of this room and you will be in a room where you have to continue south east, at the bottom of this path you will be turned north east, just keep going and you will come to a large room, on the east wall is a path that goes north east, take that path. This path will take you to a door to 'Imperial Subterrane', go through this door.
Follow the path and you will come to an opening on the south west wall, go through it and go west, you will find that you are on a ledge above the Blades and the emperor, jump down and if they haven't already died you will get to fight some assassins.
The emperor will stop the Blades from killing you and ask to speak with you, approach him and he will eventually ask what sign marked your birth. You must chose for yourself what sign you want, each has benefits, some have downfalls, all are pretty much equally balanced, but designed for different character types, so there is no single best one. Make your choice and then finish the conversation.
From here just follow the Blades and the emperor, they will lead you to a door to 'The Sanctum' go ahead and open it. Keep following the emperor and eventually you will be stuck on guard duty as the Blades run off to fight, stand near the emperor and he will start a conversation with you and give you the Amulet of Kings. After that an assassin jumps out and kills the emperor.
After all the assassins are dead there will only be Baurus and you, he will be beside the emperors body, go near him and he will start a conversation with you. In this conversation you will be able to chose or create your character class; this is one of the most important parts of the game. You must chose a character type that suits how you play, the skills you master are dependant on the attributes you focus on through leveling up, consider everything you plan on doing with your character and make the best choice for your style of play.
After the conversation you will now have the wonderful quest markers on your map and compass.

The Path of Dawn
Follow your quest marker to Jauffre, talk to him and he'll offer to let you join the Blades, you don't have to, but if you do you can get some cool Blades gear. When you are able to ask Jauffre about 'Amulet of Kings' and when he's done talking get to an out-door area and open your world map and scroll to the middle of the map to the Imperial City, the upper north west city map marker is the 'Imperial City Elven Gardens District' fast travel there.
Follow your quest marker to Luther Broad's Boarding House, inside you can find Baurus sitting at the bar, talk to him and he asks you to sit down, do so by activating the stool beside him and then you can talk to him, don't bother trying to talk to him, just offer to listen.
After Baurus gets up, the other guy will follow him, wait for a second and then follow that guy into the basement. There Baurus will attack him, help kill the would be assassin and Baurus will ask you to search the body, do so and grab
the book 'Mythic Dawn Commentaries 1'.
Follow your quest marker to take you to the First Edition, the businesses of Cyrodiil only operate between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm, so if its locked up you will have to wait until its open.
Inside talk to Phintias, ask him about 'Mysterium Xarxes'. He tells you that he has a copy, but its for another customer, there are a few ways of getting this book:
- 1st, the easiest way is having a high enough personality (use potions and spells) and then proceed to the disposition screen to make him like you even more, if you can make him like you enough he will sell it to you instead for only 100 gold.
- 2nd, you can break into the chest behind the counter and steal it, just don't get caught.
- 3rd, the most common way is to ask Phintias about 'Gwinas', after doing so you will have a map marker to find Gwinas. Wait for Gwinas to show up and buy the book, then use your map marker to track him down and talk to him. You need to convince him to give you the book. Or you could just kill him and take it.
After you have the book fast travel to 'Imperial City Elven Gardens District' and then follow your map markers until you get to Baurus. He will talk to you automatically and just tell him about 'Mythic Dawn Meeting'. From here just follow Baurus for a long while.
Eventually you will come to a room with a door and a set of stairs on the north west wall, Baurus will stop here, get near him and he'll talk to you. You can chose to either let him be the one to do the meeting, or you can make him let you do it, its up to you.
If you let Baurus do the meeting read this paragraph, if you do the meeting yourself, read the next paragraph. Baurus will say he may not survive this and you can respond how ever you you see fit (if he does die, it does not effect the outcome of the game). After that go up the stairs, down the hallway and through the door. Stay hidden in the shadows by sneaking and you will see a robed dude appear and start a conversation with Baurus, just listen in for now. Then 2 other robed dudes will come your way, if they see you they will attack, but don't worry, even if you use an invisibility potion they will end up attacking Baurus anyway, so you may as well just attack them as soon as you can, or jump down and kill the one near Baurus, once they're all dead skip the next paragraph and continue reading.
When you tell Baurus you want to be the one to meet the sponsor, he will need to be told twice that you do things your way, not his. After that he tells you he may not survive this you can respond how ever you want (if he does die, it does not effect the outcome of the game). After that go through the door at the bottom of the stairs. Inside the room there is a table and a chair straight ahead, go to the chair and activate it to sit down, just wait a bit and a robed dude will come out and start talking to you, but then he will get interupted as a couple of his friends find Baurus, press SPACE to get out of
the chair and save Baurus by killing all the badies.
With the bad guys dead you can loot their corpses and on Raven Camoran, you will find the Mythic Dawn Commentaries 4, grab the Sunken Sewers Key as well. Follow the map markers until you are out of the sewers. Once out of the sewers open your world map and fast travel to 'Imperial City, The Arcane University'.
Follow the quest markers until you reach Tar-Meena, talk to her and ask about 'Mythic Dawn'. You will have to wait 24 hours before she has any more information for you. After 24 hours talk to her and ask her about 'Mythic Dawn' and you will end up having to wait another 24 hours. Once again after another 24 hours talk to her and again ask her about 'Mythic Dawn' and this time she has solved the mystery for you.
Go outside and fast travel to 'Imperial City Palace'. Once there follow your quest marker to 'Tomb of Prince Camarril' and wait until it is 12:00 pm. At 12:00 pm the door will have some glowing red symbols, activate it to complete the quest.
Dagon Shrine
This is one of those quests that have multiple ways of completing it, they are listed below and what ever way you complete it is up to you and how you play.
- 1st - kill them all!
- 2nd - play along (breaks into 2 different paths).
1st, enter the cave and follow the path down into the first room, there is a guy in a red robe by the north wall, he guards the locked door, you can either kill him and take his key or talk to him and let him open the door. Either way, you have to get through that first door. Once the door is open go through it and you will encounter another red robed guy, if you didn't kill the first guy, Harrow will talk to you and ask you to give up all your equipment and money... since you want to kill everyone you don't want to be giving up your 20 possessions, so say no. He will end up trying to kill you and now you're hostile to all the Mythic Dawn followers in this place. Go through the door to 'Shrine Antechamber'. In here a Mythic Dawn Guard will open a door on the south wall, kill him and go through the door he opened. Continue going south and you will find another Mythic Dawn Guard guarding a door to 'Dagon Shrine', open this door. Inside go east until you're at the edge looking down on a room of Mythic Dawn followers and some guy giving a speech. Because you are hostile to these guys you're actually going to have to fight them all. Plan your strategy from up here, and for the love of god SAVE! You can wait for buddy to
finish his speech, or jump down and start killing, either way the guy giving the speech gets away. Once all the Mythic Dawn followers are dead go onto the speech platform and you will see an Argonian laying on a stone bench below a
giant statue, your quest marker also directs you to a book on a podium. If you pick up the book 'Mysterium Xarxes' the statue behind you will fall and kill the Argonian, if you wish to save him you must free him first, to free him simply talk to him and you will be able to release him, once free he will take off running. Now, go pick up 'Mysterium Xarxes', the statue will crumble and you have a quest marker to guide you out of here. Skip the next 3 paragraphs.
2nd, enter the cave and follow the path down into the first room, there is a guy in a red robe by the north wall, he guards the locked door, talk to him and he will open the locked door, go into that passage way and you'll encounter Harrow, he will start a conversation with you and ask you to give up all your equipment and money... go ahead and give it to him, you will get it back soon enough. Follow Harrow and he will take you to 'Dagon Shrine' where you will find a bunch of Mythic Dawn followers listening to some guy giving a speech, once the speech is over Harrow will announce your desire to join the cult. A female on the speech platform will ask you to come to her, do so and she will start a conversation with you and give you a choice, she will ask you to kill a prisoner, you can either do it (read the next paragraph) or don't (skip the next paragraph).
If you wish to kill the poor prisoner and be an evil hero, go up onto the speech platform and the woman will talk to you and ask you to kill the prisoner, go ahead and pick up the dagger sitting beside the book, equip it and then kill the prisoner, the woman will welcome you to the cult. Wait for a bit and most of the guards will disapear. Once the room is clear, use your quest marker to find 'Mysterium Xarxes' and pick it up, Harrow, the guy who has all your equipment and money will be the closest to you, kill him and get your stuff back, after equiping all your stuff kill everyone left in the room and you will now have your quest marker to guide you out of here. Skip the next paragraph.
This is probably one of the hardest parts of the game, if you took this choice, please SAVE! If you don't want to kill the poor prisoner you are going to have a tough time, you don't have any weapons or armor. If you go up the platform the woman will approach you and ask if you will kill the prisoner, if you say 'no' they will attack automatically, but you can say 'yes' and then take the dagger and at least have a weapon. How you do this is up to you, but the first person you should kill is Harrow, who has all your equipment. Once he is dead you can loot his corpse and get all your stuff back and then with it equiped you can try your best to kill everyone, chances are there are simply too many do what ever you must to survive. After they are all dead you can go onto the speech platform where the Argonian prisoner is laying down, there is also a book up here on a podium, if you pick this book up the Argonian will be killed, so lets free him first (unless of course you wish to let the lizard die). Talk to Jeelius and you can free him and he will run away. Now take the book 'Mysterium Xarxes' and the statue behind you will crumble, you also have your quest marker to guide you out of here.
When you come to a room that seems to be a dead end but your quest marker says you have to go through this room, look at your map and you will see that this room does connect with the larger room, the trick is there is a switch on the north corner of the entrance to the passage that is a dead end, activate this switch and the path will open, continue to follow your map marker and you will be out of this place.
Once you're out of the cave open your world map and scroll to 'Cloud Ruler Temple', just north west of Bruma, fast travel there.
Once you're at Cloud Ruler Temple follow your quest marker until you find Martin. You may run into Jauffre who will start a conversation with you, but you don't have to find him first. Once at Martin talk to him to complete this quest.
Spies
First you must find Jauffre, follow your quest marker to find him, once you do talk to him and ask him about 'Spies' and he will ask you to talk to Burd in Bruma and Steffan here in Cloud Ruler Temple, follow your quest marker to find Captain Steffan first. Talk to him and ask him about 'Spies'.
Just follow your quest marker until you reach a big old stone with green markings, this is the rune stone, wait here until you find the Mythic Dawn agents. The one you need to find is Jearl, she was there between 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm for me, when you find her, kill her and then loot her corpse. Take the Basement Key and Jearl's Key.
Open your world map and fast travel to Castle Bruma. Once there follow your quest marker to find Captain Burd. Talk to him and ask him about 'Spies', you'll have to have killed Jearl to advance, tell him she was a spy and he will give you the chance to raid her house for clues.

Follow your quest marker to guide you out of Bruma through a secret cavern entrance, once outside open your world map and fast travel to 'Cloud Ruler Temple' north west of Bruma. Once you're there follow your quest marker to guide you to Jauffre. Talk to him and then follow your quest marker to Martin and talk to him to complete this quest.
Blood of the Daedra
Talk to Martin and ask him about 'Daedra artifact' and he will tell you to read a book called 'Modern Heretics' which is sitting on the table in front of Martin. This book will mark Azura's Shrine on your world map, but you don't have to do Azura's shrine if you don't want to, any of the Daedra shrines will give you an artifact that you can give to Martin, go to: Daedra Shrine Quests
and choose what ever shrine you wish.
Once you have a Daedra artifact fast travel to 'Cloud Ruler Temple' just north west of Bruma. Follow your quest marker to find Martin and talk to him. Talk to Martin about 'Daedric artifact' and you will have to sacrifice a Daedric artifact in your possession to complete this quest.

Follow your quest marker to find Burd, he'll start a conversation with you, when you're ready to go into the Oblivion Gate let him know.
After he gives a speech you'll need to go south and enter the Oblivion Gate. While you're doing this Burd can not die, if his health drops to nothing he will be knocked out for a few moments and then come back to life, but the other 2 guards can die, and probably will. Tell Burd to follow you. The creatures you fight here are entirely dependant on your level.
From the entrance of the gate go east, stay on this general path and it will eventually turn north, follow the path north until it curves west, just keep going and as you start heading south west you will come to a massive door frame type landmark, go south from here. The path will come to a large flat area, look to the east and you will see a door, go through that door.

Inside follow the path upwards and you will come to a room with a couple doors, you need to take the one on the south wall, open it and follow the path upwards and you will come to another door to 'World Breaker', open it.
Follow the path north east and it will take you upwards, keep going up all the way to the top and you will encounter another Sigil Keeper, kill him and loot his corpse if you still need a Sigil Key. Then go to either the door to the north east or south west to 'Sigillum Sanguis' and go in.
Go up the path and you will find a couple openings on the inside wall, go through either one and you will be in a room with some spike like sets of stairs on either side, go up either set and follow the ledge to the north west side where you can go up either ramp to a platform on the south east wall, look north west and you will see a pillar of fire holding up a black orb, =
this is the Great Sigil Stone, activate it.
Outside of the Oblivion Gate the battle will be coming to an end and the siege machine will be all busted up and useless. Help kill off the remaining enemies and the remaining soldiers will bust into applause.
Use your quest marker to find Martin and talk to him to complete this quest.
Paradise
Follow Martin to Cloud Ruler Temple or go there and wait for him, once you are both in the great hall talk to Martin and you can have him open the portal to paradise, when you are ready, you had better be ready, there is no turning back until the job is done.
Martin will open the portal which will appear and you can enter it, do so.
Inside a voice will eventually talk to you from no where, after it is down follow the stone path that starts out going south west, keep following it and you will run into a shirtless dude that doesn't attack you, if the voice from no where is done talking, talk to this guy, the 'Ascended Immortal' and ask him about 'Gaiar Alata'. After that ask him about 'Savage Garden' and 'Forbidden
Grotto'. Then ask him about 'Bands of the Chosen'.
Now, go back to the path and follow it south, south east. Keep following it and the voice will return from no where, buddy tells you he will be waiting for you. Keep following the stone path and you will come to a split in the road, one path will go north east up a hill, the other path goes east down a hill, you need to take the east path down the hill.
Keep following this path and you will come to a T, one path goes west and the other east, go east and you will encounter a Kathutet, talk to him. He will let you chose between killing him or doing him a service. If you want to do the service read the next paragraph, if you kill him and take the Bands of the Chosen, skip the next paragraph.
Follow the stone path west and it will take you to a small stone structure, from here go north until you come to the water, then face south and you should see a door to 'Lair of Anaxes' open it. Go through this cave to the far south west side and on that wall there is a large bolder being held up with a couple of logs, activate both logs to let Anaxes out. Now follow your quest marker back to the Kathutet.
When you have the Bands of the Chosen follow the quest marker into 'The Flooded Grotto' and just keep following it until you come to the end of this cavern and find the door on the south wall to 'The Forbidden Grotto'. This whole time buddy is going off on some religous banter that really doesn't matter cause you know you're going to kick his ass anyway. Equip the Bands of the Chosen and you can open the door.
Here you will not be able to unequip the Bands of the Chosen. Take the path south into a large room, look east and you will see a small bridge, cross it, on the other side of the bridge, just to the south is a lever, you can pull it to switch who is being tortured in the lava, the guy or the girl.
Turn to the north and you will see an opening, go towards it and there will be a robed dude called 'Eldamil' he will talk to you. You'll have to listen to him go on for a while, but eventually you will be able to ask 'How can you help me?' Agree to play along with his little plan. Follow him and he will tell the Daedra a story and demand you go into the cage, now, it may seem a little bit crazy trusting someone who is supposed to be the enemy, but do it.
As the cage lowers towards the lava and the feeling that you've been betrayed jumps to mind, the cage stops just above the lava. Soon after it raises again and the opening takes you to the other side of the gap.
There is an opening on the east wall, go in it. Right away you can go north or south, go south, in this next room there is a gap with lava at the bottom, don't fall down, there is a bridge on the east side of the room, cross the bridge and then head to the far back, south wall to find a door to 'The Forbidden Grotto' and go in it.
Follow the path and you will find Eldamil, he will talk to you and offer to help you. You don't have to let him help you, but he is somewhat powerful, and if he dies, he will come back to life eventually. So let him help or not, its up to you, either way, buddy will speak from no where again (man he likes the sound of his own voice).
From Eldamil, go south and there will be an opening along the east side of the path, take it and you will come to another lava torture room, there is again a bridge to cross the lava, go north and cross the bridge, then on the other side of the bridge turn west and you will find an opening. Go through the opening and turn north in the next room, then go east and the path will turn north, just keep going all the way to the back north wall and you will be able to find an opening on the west wall.
Go up the path and you will come to a large room, in the north west corner is an opening to the west, take it and follow this path, it will take you north to a door to 'Paradise' open it.
On the other side of the door is a stone path, follow the path and it will eventually come to a T, take the east path. This will take you to a couple robed figures, Ruma will talk to you and then you can follow her into the 'Carac Agaialor' or you can kill her and the other guy, if you don't you just have to fight them both inside anyway, so may as well get a cheap shot in on them now.
Enter 'Carac Agailaor' and approach Mankar Camoran sitting in his throne. He will give a speech and then if you let his minions live, they will attack. After they are dead Mankar will attack, kill him, he's very easy.
After you kill him, quickly loot his corpse and grab the Amulet of Kings. The paradise will crumble and you will be transported back to Martin. Martin will come up to you and start a conversation with you. When he is done this quest is complete.
Light the Dragonfires
Get outside and fast travel to 'Imperial City Palace'. From there just follow your quest marker until you reach the high chancellor Ocato, he will approach you and then greet Martin, but a soldier interupts everything and you find out the city is under attack.
So, once again, you're off to kill endless amounts of bad guys and save the day, follow Martin and protect him at all costs. Get outside of the palace and follow your map marker, Martin seems to go right to the temple, so ignore most of the bad guys.
When you're in the Temple District you will be in a major battle and if you round the corner, you will find a giant, and I mean, GIANT, bad guy, this is Mehrunes Dagon. You will need to talk to Martin. When he is done you will have to take him into the temple, tell him to follow you.
Just run past Mehrunes Dagon and follow your quest marker into the temple. Inside wait for a moment and then Martin will run off to a corner of the temple, approach him and he will say farewell.
Just sit back and watch as Martin becomes a mighty firey dragon and does his thing. When Mehrune is defeated you'll be given a short video and then be back in the temple. This quest is complete.
Imperial Dragon Armor
Ocato runs up to you and starts a conversation with you. After he's done talking you can ask him about 'Champion of Cyrodiil' and you will be rewarded Imperial Dragon Armor... but it will take 2 weeks before you can get it.
After 2 weeks (you probably want to explore the world rather than wait all 336 hours) you can pick up your Imperial Dragon Armor from the Imperial Legion Compound. You will know when it is ready because it will give you a ques update.
Open your world map and fast travel to 'Imperial City Prison' and follow your quest marker to an Iron Gate, go through it and you will be at a wooden door to 'Armory' open this door. Your equipment is on a table against the east wall, pick up 1 piece and this quest will be complete, just make sure you pick it all up.
