A Foot in the Door

"A Foot in the Door" is a level 42 quest in Thizzrini Arena, Malabal Tor in the Elder Scrolls Online.

''"If you are cunning of mind and fierce of spirit, Thizzrini Arena is the place to prove these things." —Balag''

Walkthrough
The player can arrive at the Arena through exploration or by following the quest "Over the Edge." Either way, when they approach the Arena, they are greeted by a Khajiit named Balag at the other side of a bridge leading into a small city created by trainers and fighters. Balag explains there are three divisions: Swordmaster, Sorceror and Summoner.

Zara, who is the Division leader for the Swordmasters, is standing closest to Balag in a circle surrounded by braziers. Because Feluni, who runs the Arena, capped the number of combatants, the player must beat one of the current combatants in a match and take their credentials. There are three choices; some dual-wield axes, but all Swordmasters are melee fighters. Talk to one of them and ask to fight. Beat them, then head back to Zara.

The player can head down the path across from Zara to Tholbor, the leader of the Summoning Division. He also asks the player to defeat one of the current combatants. The summoners use bows and summon lions to fight for them (even though some of them will say they just learned how to conjure wolves).

Malarel is the final leader. She leads the Sorceror Division. Again, the player must spar with a combatant. The sorcerors use the Sorceror Class buffs but are easy to defeat.

Heading northwest from Malarel and up the stone steps, the player brings their credentials up to Feluni, who is between a tent and the door to the Arena. She asks the player if they have a stage name, to which they reply with their character's name. She decides to call you "Mysterious Stranger" because it has more intrigue and dramatic flair.

She gives the player 270 gold and tells them to get moving if they want to become Grand Champion.
