Ok guys, I don't think this is a "real" quest. The quest entries in the editor are only there to control the AIs of the soldiers.^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pascal (talk • contribs).}

I suppose it depends upon your definition of a quest. No, this is not a quest that appears in your journal and gets added to your official stats of completed quests. Neither are any of the other quests listed under Quests that do not appear in your journal. On the other hand, yes, this is a predefined activity that you can do once and only once in the game, that has specific requirements before it can be accomplished, and has specific stages that it progresses through. There's alot more substance to this quest than, for example, most of the master training quests, that do appear in your journal. It's different from the random oblivion gates that appear, for example, because this gate always occurs after doing Dagon Shrine, and has associated NPCs and waves of attacking daedra/dremora. (Also, there's a chance that this one gate gives access to different Oblivion worlds, but I haven't investigated that properly yet). So, I believe that it is appropriate to give this "quest" its own page, so anyone who is interested in trying to fully explore the game of Oblivion knows that this is one possible activity. --Nephele 14:46, 13 September 2006 (EDT)

Count me in as not thinking this is a quest. All of the gates are predefined activities that you can only do once. The only difference because there is an event with the guards and the monsters before it. A very generic event at that. Does anything even stop you from ignoring the guards and running into the gate first? 74.135.100.99

I think it's a perfectly good quest. This one even has proper quest entries, as opposed to many of the Quests that do not appear in your journal. --Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 12:54, 28 October 2007 (EDT)

I do believe there are other such encounters of soldiers with Oblivion Gates, with almost identical dialogue (although Im not sure about the waves of daedra) One that comes to mind is just off the road somewhere between Skingrad and Anvil. Anyhow, this might be more appropriately labeled as "Player Triggered Encounters" as this battle simply wont occur unless the player walks into the area of the gate during the Main Quest (After Dagon Shrine) I understand why it is labeled as a quest (at least for the sake of organizing the site) and its definitely worth note for any players of the game.--209.134.75.234 14:21, 23 May 2008 (EDT)DarthShrute

No, there are no other similar oblivion gates. It is the only one with its own miscellaneous quest, including its own set of quest stages. It also has a unique configuration in terms of possible connecting oblivion worlds. "Player Triggered Encounters" would describe all of the 50 random oblivion gates, so I don't think it's a particularly useful designation. --Nephele^Talk 14:54, 23 May 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Keeping the Imperial Guards Alive

I found an easy way to keep all the Imperial guards alive. Just avoid the guards altogether and head straight to the Oblivion gate. Enter the gate as quickly as you can. Then inside the plane of Oblivion, take the sigil stone from the main tower to close the Oblivion gate. When you get back to Tamriel, all the Imperial guards will be there alive and waiting for you. -- Jargon 13:57, 7 March 2007 (EST)
