Main quest

Sent by the Emperor, you travel from your chosen starting province to the Bay’s royal courts. You investigate the restless ghost of King Lysandus and the artifacts tied to the Totem of Tiber Septim, and the story ends in the Mantellan Crux Map. Its ending depends on who holds the Totem.

• Main-story Dungeons always keep their full size.
• If a main-story step fails, the journal offers it again from its start.
• The main quest is not shared with a party.

Start when ready

Open the Emperor’s commission in your pack, then arrive in Daggerfall to start the invitation clock. The main story does not start simply because you leave your starting dungeon.
