Rumors around Cheydinhal will take players to Tivela at Lythandas House, where it’s discovered that her husband, Rhythe, has locked himself in his study and has somehow managed to trap himself within his painting. The quest involves battling fierce painted trolls, with a reward well worth the battles at hand since the Apron of Adroitness increases Agility and Intelligence by 10 Points, and while it might not be worth wearing in high levels, it’s a great thing to sell to merchants.
5Azura’s Daedric Quest
A Quest for a Daedric Prince to Keep a Permanent Soul Gem
Upon reaching Level 2 and with Glow Dust in your inventory, players will be able to head to the far north region of Cheydinhal, past Lake Arrius, to find Azura’s Shrine. At this shrine, players can converse with Azura and complete her quest that involves killing vampires within the nearby Gutted Mine, as doing so will reward them with Azura’s Star. Azura’s Star is a wonderful Daedric Artifact to have so early on, as it acts as an infinite Soul Gem that can be re-used to enchant and replenish weapons if players kill an enemy with the Soul Trap enchantment or the Soul Trap spell.
4Origin of the Gray Prince
Discover Agronak’s Vampiric Foundations
Once players become an Arena combatant in the Imperial City, they will be able to converse with the Grand Champion, Agronak gro-Malog. There’s something unusual about this orc, for he is far paler than the others, and it’s time to find out why. Talking to Agronak will send players on a quest to visit Crowhaven, an old lair that contains the villainous Lord Lovidicus and his diary that will reveal the Gray Prince, the Grand Champion himself, is part vampire. This is a great early quest to play for the fact that it nullifies the Grand Champion in battle for future Arena fights, and provides players with a +3 stat to Blade, Block, and Athletics.
3A Knife in the Dark
Kill Any Innocent NPC to Start the Dark Brotherhood Questline
A Knife in the Dark can be started as soon as players are freed into Cyrodiil, and the quest is obtained after players kill any NPC just going about their day-to-day.

After killing an innocent NPC and then sleeping in a bed, players will be woken by Lucien Lachance, who offers the opportunity to jointhe Dark Brotherhoodand become an assassin of shadows, starting one of the best questlines in the game with ease.
2Finding the Thieves Guild
Discover the Thieves Guild to Sell Stolen Items and Steal an Elder Scroll
The Thieves Guild is one of the more elusive factions inOblivion Remastered, and while players might have heard of them and seen the wanted posters of the Gray Fox, it’s doubtful that they have seen them. Luckily, players can actually get recruited into the Thieves Guild by speaking with Armand Christophe in the Waterfront District of the Imperial City’s garden area at midnight, and upon doing so, they will begin their first steps to lockpicking, pickpocketing, and stealing so that they might one day become the next Gray Fox.
1An Unexpected Voyage
Awaken on an Ocean Bound Boat
Taking a snooze in the lodgings of The Bloated Float in the Imperial City’s Waterfront District might seem like a harmless place to rest, but players will wake up to discover that they are stranded at sea, with a bunch of pirates set to rob the place and keep the player captive. The mission itself has players run across the ship to speak with the assailants and kill them. Not only is this a great quest for understanding how dialogue can lead to new situations, but it also provides players with an opportunity to claim the Blackwater Blade, a weapon that willserve players wellin the early days ofOblivion Remastered.
