[edit] Disputed Note

I've moved this from the main article as the place to debate things like this is the talk page. It looks like it's wrong in any case:

During the test you will fight a 'Sir Caius', the ghost of an imperial Knight. This is surely a reference to the Caius Cosades of the blades from the previous edition of the Elder Scrolls, Morrowind. As you'll remember, he was recalled back to the Imperial City in Cyrodiil mid-game because of his known skooma addiction. We can guess that, to earn penance for his life of addiction, he became a Knight of The Nine and is now found here. (This suggestion, however, should be dismissed out of hand as it completely ignores in-game chronology and particularly the fact that the members of the Order of the Nine died some three hundred years before the events of TES:Morrowind; the Morrowind storyline occurs in 3e427 and Oblivion in 3e433 whereas the Order of the Nine were founded in 3e111 and defunct by 3e150.)

[edit] To Rpeh

I disagree. The way the article is worded suggests that you MUST do "The Faithful Squire" next (which must be followed by Sword of the Crusader). However, there are four possible other quests you could do instead, one for each of The Gauntlets of the Crusader, The Mace of Zenithar, The Shield of the Crusader or The Boots of the Crusader. Each has its own named quest (for example Nature's Fury to get the boots), and you can choose which order to do them in. So I suggest that there are a number of options for your next quest after this one and the article should reflect that. Vlad the Imperial 05:57, 23 October 2007 (EDT)

But those are all part of this quest - they have sub-quest names of their own but it's all one quest. Look at the quest stages for instance: the quest doesn't finish until you've retrieved all those items at which point The Faithful Squire is the next quest that must be done. --Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 07:56, 23 October 2007 (EDT)

I'm with rpeh here (not too surprising, since I'm the editor who originally set up the page that way). The next quest is for the quest that needs to be done after the current quest has been completed. The section on The Other Artifacts provides a list of the other subquests and clearly states that "This quest is not complete until you have collected all four of these artifacts". If you think more details are needed in that section, feel free to add them. --Nephele^Talk 12:31, 23 October 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Sir Amiel's Ring

(Question moved from User talk:Nephele)

I picked up Sir Amiel's ring in the previous quest where you obtain the Helm of The Crusader not knowing that i couldn't complete the next part of the quest with it in my inventory. When i went to drop it, it was listed as a quest item, therefore; i cannot complete the quest. Is there anything that i can do to get rid of that ring???!!! Nothing that i have tried has worked. I hope you can help me with this. ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.178.238.213 (talk • contribs).}

I really don't understand your question. There is no problem caused by having the ring in your inventory; you need to have the ring in your inventory in order to proceed with this quest. I don't know why you want to drop the ring, and I don't know what the problem is that you're having and that you think will be fixed by dropping the ring. --Nephele^Talk 23:39, 10 February 2008 (EST)

[edit] Missing Speech

Probably not the best place to put this, but I encountered a bug with Sir Areldur. After having him appear at the priory, accepting him and then getting another item, he has reappeared in the KotN armour as he should. However, his speech for Gauntlets of the Crusader is missing, as in i can select it, but there is no voice that goes with it. The other speech options are fine, its just this one. -- Dark Adro 23:27, 20 April 2008 (EDT)
