The Stone of St. Alessia in Sedor.

[edit] Quick Walkthrough

Speak with Azzan in Anvil to receive this contract.
Travel to the Chapel of Talos in Bruma and speak with Cirroc about the theft of the Stone of St. Alessia by bandits.
Follow the bandits out of town, heading east along the road. You will encounter K'sharr, one of their members, who will tell you that ogres stole the Stone from the bandits. The ogres are holed up in Sedor, an Ayleid ruin (quite a ways) to the east.
Proceed to Sedor and retrieve the Stone, evading or eliminating any ogres encountered in the ruin.
Return the Stone to Cirroc; he will reward you with 3 Strong Potions of Healing.
Report back to Azzan for payment; he will inform you he has no more outstanding contracts.

[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

[edit] Demotion and Assignment

Speak to Azzan in Anvil. Azzan will tell you that Modryn Oreyn has been drummed out of the Guild as a result of Viranus Donton's death at Forsaken Mine. Also, if you have not yet done Burz' last two quests, Azzan has been instructed to inform you that you have been demoted to Defender for your part in the affair. If asked, he will tell you that you may be able to regain your former rank, if you complete "a few contracts" first.

With that out of the way, Azzan will brief you: the Stone of St. Alessia has been stolen from the Chapel of Talos in Bruma, and your mission is to recover it. Report to Cirroc at the Chapel for further information.

[edit] Pursuit

When you find Cirroc, he will tell you the Stone was stolen by bandits, who were last seen heading out of town in an easterly direction, and urges you go after them. Once you do, your compass will lead you to K'Sharr. He will tell you that he and his cronies stole the Stone, but were ambushed by ogres, who stole the Stone in turn, leaving him as the only survivor. He believes the ogres are now at Sedor, an Ayleid ruin along the road between Bruma and the Temple of the Ancestor Moths. K'Sharr will mark its approximate location on your map. You can kill K'Sharr without receiving a bounty if you wish.

[edit] Recovery

Proceed to Sedor, enter the ruin, and recover the Stone, sneaking past or killing any ogres you may encounter en route. The Stone is in a locked room which must be opened via a two-step process. First, there is a pressure plate directly outside the room. This seemingly does nothing, but in fact opens the gate to a walkway which passes directly overhead. At the end of this walkway is a push block which opens the gate to the room itself. With a very high Acrobatics skill and good timing, it is possible to jump up from the vicinity of the pressure plate and push the block from the apex of the jump.

[edit] Reward

Having recovered the Stone, return it to Cirroc, who will express his gratitude and give you three Strong Potions of Healing (the best he can do, he says); these potions are not leveled. Report back to Azzan to receive the standard level-dependent gold reward and one Fame point. He will also inform you that he has no more assignments for you.

There are several options at this point regarding promotions and your next quest:

If this is the first Fighters Guild quest you have completed since Trolls of Forsaken Mine, no promotions are available and you will need to go to Burz gro-Khash in Cheydinhal for your next quest, The Noble's Daughter.
If you have completed The Noble's Daughter already (but not Mystery at Harlun's Watch), Azzan will now be willing to reinstate you to your previous rank of Guardian. Your next quest will be Mystery at Harlun's Watch.
If you have already completed both of Burz' quests (The Noble's Daughter and Mystery at Harlun's Watch), you can now be promoted to the rank of Champion (Oreyn's previous title). Your next quest will come from Modryn Oreyn, in his house in Chorrol: Information Gathering.

[edit] Notes

If you're still looking to join the Dark Brotherhood, K'sharr is a good candidate for your first murder. After you've extracted the necessary information, if you face him with a weapon drawn, he invites you to "go ahead."
It is possible to fast travel to Sedor after K'sharr marks it on your map, even if you have not been there before.

Notes

Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in random order.
If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage quest stage. Where quest is the internal name of the quest, and stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages. See SetStage for more information.
