Mythic Dawn

The Mythic Dawn are a cult, and follow the teachings of Mehrunes Dagon. They are central to the plot of The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion, and are responsible for the invasion of the Daedra. The leader of the Mythic Dawn is Mankar Camoran, an Altmer.

Joining the Mythic Dawn
Although you may not become an actual member of the Mythic Dawn, there is a quest that requires you to join as an initiate, as an undercover member of The Blades. This requires you to begin your search for the four volumes of Mankar Camoran's Commentaries on the Mysterium Xarxes. The books contain a hidden message which can only be worked out if you have all four volumes. It is necessary to find the hidden message to find the Mythic Dawn shrine.

The message reads Green Emperor Way where tower touches midday sun. Tar-Meena suggests that you should take a look around Green Emperor Way (the Palace District of the Imperial City) at midday and see what you can find out. If you observe the tomb of Prince Camarril, you will eventually see a map of Cyrodiil appear, and the location of the Mythic Dawn's shrine is shown to be Lake Arrius Caverns, north of Cheydinhal.
