Improve this question. Thank you. Thank you, Martin. We'd all best get back to our duties, eh, Captain? After the ceremony, Martin will wait outside the entrance to Cloud Ruler Temple to greet you even if you left the ceremony.

When you approach, he will initiate dialogue: "Not much of a speech, was it? Didn't seem to bother them, though. The Blades saluting me and hailing me as Martin Septim I don't mean to sound ungrateful.

I know I would be dead by now if it weren't for you. But everyone expects me to suddenly know what to do. How to behave. They want an Emperor to tell them what to do. And I haven't the faintest idea He will respond: "Of course. The Amulet of Kings. So we And stop the Oblivion invasion.

In any case, we need the Amulet first. Maybe Jauffre will know where to start. Martin now begins a new schedule. He will sleep in his bed in the Cloud Ruler Temple West Wing from midnight until 8am, eat in the East Wing from 8pm to 10pm, and read in the East Wing at all other times. He also now considers you his friend. If you hang around him, he may say: "My head is still spinning from everything that has happened.

I'll need some time to adjust. Please bear with me. You can now ask him about the Amulet of Kings. He will say: "All practitioners of daedric magic are familiar with the almost impenetrable barrier between our world and Oblivion.

What the Emperor told you implies that the Amulet is the key to the preservation of that barrier. What I saw at Kvatch Yet those gates to Oblivion existed. The old rules no longer apply. Kvatch is only the beginning of what Mehrunes Dagon will do. If the Amulet is truly the key to restoring the barriers between our world and Oblivion, you must waste no time in recovering it. Jauffre believes that the death of the Emperor and the darkening of the Dragonfires is the key.

In my youth, I followed a different path. I know more than I want to about the seductive power of daedric magic. Let's just leave it at that. I know I'm in good hands here. If you ask Jauffre about the Amulet of Kings, he will tell you what to do next.

Asking him about it a second time will have him tell you about Martin's role in the crisis: "The Amulet of Kings is the key to everything now. Once we have it back, Martin can use it to light the Dragonfires in the Temple of the One, and reseal the barriers between Oblivion and our world. Martin is not directly involved in this quest, but once you have collected all four volumes of Mythic Dawn Commentaries , Baurus will head to Cloud Ruler Temple and become Martin's personal bodyguard there.

When Martin is anywhere else, Baurus will follow him around. Baurus will always be found guarding Martin except during certain quest events and when Baurus is sleeping between 4am and 8am. Once you begin this quest, Martin will now greet you with: "What is it, my friend?

The "Commentaries on the Mysterium Xarxes" are the only source we have for its existence. The author of the "Commentaries" claims the Xarxes was written by Mehrunes Dagon himself, but no one else has ever seen it. He has now set up a study area in this room. When you speak to him, he will say: "Ah, you're back. I told Jauffre not to worry. I can see you have bad news. You didn't recover the Amulet, did you?

Such a thing is dangerous even to handle! Forgive me. You were right to bring it. But you'd better give it to me. I know some ways to protect myself from its evil power. I suspect that the secret of how to open a portal to Camoran's Paradise lies within these pages. But I will need time. Tampering with dark secrets, even just reading them, can be very dangerous. I'll have to proceed carefully. In the meantime, you should speak to Jauffre. He was concerned about reports of spies in Bruma.

Asking him again about the Mysterium Xarxes, he will tell you what he knows: "This evil book was written by Mehrunes Dagon himself, and given by him to Mankar Camoran.

I believe Mankar Camoran used it to create his Paradise. It should give us the means to open a gate there ourselves. I will continue studying it. But the workings of fate may be seen in this, too. Perhaps I may yet come to believe it myself. Emperor, Amulet, and Dragonfire--with these divine gifts, the daedra of Oblivion have been kept at bay for thousands of years. While the Dragonfires burned, the divine barriers kept the daedra from making more than fleeting visits to our world. But the Dragonfires can only be relit by an heir of the Septim blood wielding the Amulet of Kings.

This was the essence of Mankar Camoran's plot. He was undone only by the merest We must recover the Amulet of Kings and relight the Dragonfires, before it is too late to stem Dagon's invasion. Speak to Jauffre about those spies in the meantime. Hanging near him at this point, he may idly say: "I'll have to proceed cautiously with the Mysterium Xarxes.

It is exceedingly dangerous. I'll let you know when I learn something. Its corrupting power is terrible. The Xarxes doesn't give up its secrets easily. Once you've received the details of this quest from Jauffre, Martin's schedule is changed a little.

Rather than reading in the East Wing when not eating or sleeping, he now spends his time studying the Mysterium Xarxes in the Great Hall at his desk. Once you begin to search for the spies in Bruma by either killing one of them, speaking to Burd about it, or finding evidence, if you return to Martin he may say to you if you hang around: "The Mysterium Xarxes is the most dangerous daedric sorcery I've ever encountered. I wonder if my warding spells will be enough. I think I've identified the section that deals with opening a portal to Camoran's Paradise.

In some sense, the book IS Camoran's Paradise. Mankar Camoran bound himself to the Xarxes when he created his Paradise, using dark rituals which I will not speak of further.

A gate can be opened from the outside, however. It will be more difficult, as I will have to temporarily bind myself to the book. But I believe it can be done. I will continue working to decipher the arcane items needed for the binding ritual. Once you have reported back to Jauffre that the spies are dead, Martin will now say to you excitedly: "I've made some progress with the Mysterium Xarxes, finally!

The Xarxes mentions four items needed for the ritual, but so far I have only deciphered one of them: the 'blood of a Daedra Lord'. In fact, daedric artifacts are known to be formed from the essence of a Daedric Lord, from whence they derive their great power. Not an easy thing to come by, obviously, but we will need a daedric artifact.

Bring it to me when you have acquired one. You can ask Martin about daedric artifacts, and he will tell you: "The only way to obtain a daedric artifact is through the cults devoted to each of the Daedric Lords. The book " Modern Heretics " is the best introduction to daedric cults.

The library here has a copy if you need it. Remember, the Mysterium Xarxes ritual will consume the physical form of the artifact in order to release its daedric power. I hope to have made some progress by the time you return with a daedric artifact. I haven't deciphered the rest of the ritual yet.

I hope you are making better progress. I believe I'm close to deciphering the relevant passage. Once you return with a suitable artifact, you can speak to Martin again about them. He will ask for it: "I won't ask what you went through to obtain this, my friend.

I know all too well the depravity of the princes of Oblivion. Are you ready to give me the artifact? Remember, the ritual will consume its physical form. It won't be seen again on Tamriel for many years. My preparations for the ritual will be different, depending on the artifact we use, so I'll need it as soon as possible. The following table lists the possibilities. Asking Martin what you should do next, he will say: "You should talk to Jauffre.

He needs your help. Trouble down in Bruma, I think. If you either wait seven days from when you were given Blood of the Daedra , or have finished Bruma Gate, Martin will now say to you as you approach: "I have good news! I've made some progress on deciphering the gate-opening ritual. The second item is the counterpart to the first: the blood of a Divine. This was a terrible puzzle to me. Unlike the Daedra Lords, the gods have no artifacts, and do not physically manifest themselves in our world.

How then to obtain the blood of a god? But Jauffre solved it. The blood of Tiber Septim himself, who became one of the Divines.

This is a secret remembered only by the Blades, passed down from one Grandmaster to the next. Jauffre should tell it to you himself. I'll continue my study of the Mysterium Xarxes. He does nothing but pore over that evil book all day. How goes your search for the Armor of Tiber Septim? Don't take any unnecessary risks. The Armor of Tiber Septim himself! Jauffre will be amazed to see it.

You can reassure Jauffre that I will not destroy the armor. All I need is a scraping of Talos's divine blood. The Blades are as touchy as priests about relics of Tiber Septim, it seems! If at any point you have both this quest and Blood of the Daedra both running at once, Martin will now begin conversation with: "My research is moving forward again.

It's only a matter of time before I decipher the third and fourth ingredients for the ritual. I'm finally starting to unlock the secrets of the second half of the gate-opening ritual. When you finish either this quest or Blood of the Daedra, you will have to ask what else you can do, and Martin may say different things. If you have not yet completed Blood of the Daedra, but have completed Blood of the Divines , he will say: "While I continue to study the Mysterium Xarxes, you should keep searching for the daedric artifact we'll need for the ritual.

The third item we need is a Great Welkynd Stone. You may have run across lesser Welkynd Stones ; they are fairly common in Ayleid ruins. But a Great Welkynd Stone will not be easy to come by. They have been plundered one by one over the years, due to their great value to mages and occultists. There is only one place that is rumored to still contain one: the ruins of the Ayleid city of Miscarcand. A place where many have perished seeking its Great Stone.

But nothing else will do, so you must succeed where all others have failed. Once Martin has given you your next task, you must ask him about Miscarcand if you did not preemptively get the Great Welkynd Stone: "The capital of one of the ancient Ayleid kingdoms which flourished in Cyrodiil before the rise of Men.

It is said that the ruins are still haunted by the vengeful spirit of its last king. True or not, it is not a place to enter lightly. Be careful. He will tell you: "The pinnacle of Ayleid magic. Once every Ayleid city had its Great Stone, but they've all been plundered over the centuries. All but one. The Great Stone of Miscarcand is reputed still to shine in the deep darkness of its ruined halls. But no one has ever done more than glimpse it from a distance.

It is said to be guarded by the ghost of the last king of Miscarcand. It was the capital of one of the ancient Ayleid kingdoms. I have the library's copy at my table if you need it. I know you have braved many dangers already, but Miscarcand is not to be taken lightly.

If you already got the Great Welkynd Stone before being given the quest, Martin will say: "You are a wonder! Not only the Hero of Kvatch, but the Master of Miscarcand as well! If you hang around Martin now, he may say to you: "I'm close to understanding the complete gate-opening ritual. The final section is almost within my grasp. The Mysterium Xarxes gives up its secrets reluctantly. The supporting glyphs all point to Oblivion, but the signifier of the main symbol matches nothing I'm sorry to burden you with my problems.

I'll do my best to have an answer by the time you return with the Great Welkynd Stone. And every day that passes brings the Mythic Dawn closer to victory. It's only a matter of time now. Once you have found the Great Welkynd Stone, Martin's name will change to Martin Septim , his Dagger of Sparks will be removed, and he will receive equipment more fitting an Emperor: a Longsword of Frost , and the Emperor's cuirass , boots , gauntlets and greaves. Jauffre begins with: "With all due respect, sire, there must be another way.

The risk is too great! I was at Kvatch. But there is no other way. We have no choice. She must. The Blades are, as always, at your disposal. I have good news, of a sort. When you speak to Martin, he begins with: "You're back. And you've got the Great Stone I can count on you. You did. I can't force you to do anything. I understand that. We have an Emperor again.

Your Highness, what are your orders? Shall the Guard fall back to the Palace? If we let ourselves get besieged in the Palace we're doomed. We must get to the Temple of the One immediately. Form up and protect the Emperor! To the Temple of the One! Imperial Legion Captain: "The Palace is cut off, sire. We were the last to make it through from the Legion Compound.

My men and I are at your disposal. What are your orders? It's our only chance to stop Mehrunes Dagon. Let's move out! Dagon is defeated. I go gladly, for I know my sacrifice is not in vain. The Third Age has ended and a new age dawns.

You're in danger. But I'm needed here. I can't leave. I assume you didn't risk your own life to come here to tell me something I already know. Who are you and what do you want? Who are you? What do you really want with me? The priest? I'm a priest. Do you need a priest?

I don't think I'll be much help to you. I'm having trouble understanding the gods right now. If all this is part of a divine plan, I'm not sure I want to have anything to do with it.

We're part of it. What are you talking about? I prayed to Akatosh on that terrible night, but no help came. Only more daedra. What can you possibly know that would help me make sense of this?

Look around. What good is a priest? You think the emperor is my father? No, you must have the wrong man. I am a priest of Akatosh. My father was a farmer. Because I'm the emperor's son? And he told you to find me? It's strange I think you might actually be telling the truth.

What does this mean? What do you want from me? I'm sorry, but even if what you say is true, I won't abandon these people to their fate. I'll go with you when we can all leave together. I admit, I've had my doubts about your story. You gave them hope. You helped them drive the daedra back. I'll come with you to Weynon Priory and hear what Jauffre has to say. Lead on. Don't fail me. Don't be long. The Amulet of Kings. So we And stop the Oblivion invasion.

In any case, we need the Amulet first. Maybe Jauffre will know where to start. What the Emperor told you implies that the Amulet is the key to the preservation of that barrier. What I saw at Kvatch Yet those gates to Oblivion existed.

The old rules no longer apply. Kvatch is only the beginning of what Mehrunes Dagon will do. If the Amulet is truly the key to restoring the barriers between our world and Oblivion, you must waste no time in recovering it. In my youth, I followed a different path. I know more than I want about the seductive power of daedric magic.

Let's just leave it at that. Jauffre believes that the death of the Emperor and the darkening of the Dragonfires is the key. I know I'm in good hands here. But I have the Mysterium Xarxes. Such a thing is dangerous even to handle! Forgive me. You were right to bring it. But you'd better give it to me. I know some ways to protect myself from its evil power.

So a Septim would be worth US dollars, Martin sacrificed himself and the Amulet of Kings to summon the Avatar of Akatosh. Martin sacrificed himself and the Amulet of Kings to summon the Aspect of Akatosh. After defeating the Prince of Destruction, the Aspect of Akatosh turned to stone and became a reminder of what happened there.

Martin, the last of the Septim bloodline, sacrificed himself and the Amulet of Kings to become an Avatar of Akatosh and cast Mehrunes Dagon back into Oblivion. What happened to Martin Septim after Oblivion?
