[edit] Detailed Walkthrough
[edit] Red Robed Agents
After closing the Oblivion gate in Kvatch, you are to take Martin to Weynon Priory. Upon arrival, Eronor will run to greet you with some bad news: Mythic Dawn agents are attacking the priory. In the name of poor Prior Maborel, you must kill these assassins. After they're dead, you'll find that Jauffre has his hands full killing more agents in the chapel. Head over there and help him finish them off.
[edit] Cloud Ruler Temple
After you help Jauffre kill off the assassins, he will want to check on the Amulet of Kings. As he suspected, the amulet has been taken, and will need to be recovered. Jauffre suggests taking Martin to Cloud Ruler Temple, a safe haven for the Blades located to the northwest of Bruma. When you arrive, follow Martin as he is welcomed and hailed by the Blades as Martin Septim. After Martin gives a speech to the soldiers, he will want to speak with you about the importance of recovering the Amulet of Kings. Jauffre will offer you membership into the Blades. If you accept you will be given an Akaviri Katana, and you will have access to all the beds, books, armor, and weapons inside the temple. After you make a decision about membership, Jauffre will give you your next quest.
- It is not necessary to have Martin with you when you start this quest. If he is not with you, Jauffre will ride to wherever Martin is located after finding out the Amulet is missing.
- It is not necessary to join the Blades in order to continue with the main quest. If you later change your mind, you can just talk to Jauffre again and choose the topic "Join the Blades" — as long as Jauffre is still alive (he can die during The Defense of Bruma or Light the Dragonfires, at which point it becomes impossible to join the Blades). On the other hand, there really aren't any reasons not to join the Blades; by not joining, you lose out on all the free stuff available at Cloud Ruler Temple.
- Cloud Ruler Temple is not the only place made available if you join the Blades. As a chapter-house of the Order of Talos, you will be granted free access to Weynon Priory if you join.
- If Jauffre's disposition towards you is below 40, he will not offer you membership in the Blades. Unless you have attacked or stolen from him, his disposition should be above 40. Otherwise, use a charm spell on him.
- This quest can be combined with The Killing Field quest. Start the quest but don't meet the Odiil brother until you are bringing Martin to the Priory. The brothers will help with the agents outside the priory. Thank them by taking Martin and Jauffre to their farm for some Goblin Disposal.
- Jauffre and Martin will continue to follow you across the province until you take them to Cloud Ruler Temple, so you might make use of them in completing other quests beforehand. Be wary when entering towns however, as Mythic Dawn Agents will attack Martin on sight.
- If you want a black robe, Prior Maborel's corpse is wearing one.
- If you attack the Mythic Dawn Agents in Weynon Priory before Eronor has a chance to speak to you, it will count as an assault.
- Sometimes Jauffre will get stuck below the temple and no script will be triggered (if you fast travel and stop before getting there, for example). It may be possible to push Jauffre to the entrance to go on with the main quest. This may also happen if you are under the effects of chameleon or invisibility. In this case, taking off items of chameleon clothing will fix the problem.
- If you are attacked while Jauffre is following you, he sometimes fails to remount after attack and will cease to follow. Make sure he is mounted and following before you take off.
- If you tell Martin and Jauffre to "wait here" after triggering the 'Escort Martin to Cloud Ruler Temple' part of the quest, and then leave them there, it may be difficult to locate them again when you want to resume the quest. In this case, check Chorrol (inside the main gate when you enter the town), or alternatively check inside the nearest town to the place where you told them to "wait".

- 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.
