A Door in Niben Bay

Overview
Faction: Shivering Isles Main Quest Prerequisites: None Quest Giver: None Reward: Admission to The Fringe section of the Shivering Isles

Background
After hearing about a Strange Door in Niben Bay, you will be given a map marker for a landmark in Niben Bay, due east of Bravil. The Strange Door is a three-faced statue on top of an island. The plants that grow on the island represent the only Shivering Isles intrusion in all of Cyrodiil.

Walkthrough
Gaius Prentus, a guard from Bravil, is watching the door. Shortly after you arrive, Belmyne Dreleth will emerge from the door, ranting. He will eventually attack you and Prentus. Prentus can easily take care of him. After talking to Prentus for a bit, a voice emanates from the statue, inviting you to the Shivering Isles.

On the other side of the door is a small, grey-stone room. A table with a metronome and a copy of The Madness of Pelagius is in the center of the room, and Haskill is sitting at the far side of the table. Sit down. Haskill explains that his Lord, Sheogorath, is seeking a champion for an unspecific cause. If you agree to enter the realm and become Sheogorath's champion, Haskill gets up and leaves. Then the walls dissolve into butterflies.
