Walkthrough
The player can get the quest to join the Imperial Legion if they choose to follow Hadvar during the tutorial quest. Before entering Helgen Keep, the player may choose to enter with either Ralof or Hadvar. If entering with Hadvar, the player automatically receives the quest, after leaving the keep. The player can also get the quest by entering an Imperial camp, such as the Pale Imperial Camp, or encountering a group of Imperial soldiers, where the player will be invited to join the Imperial legion and directed to Solitude.

The player can also just go to Solitude and talk to General Tullius who will redirect you to Legate Rikke.

Once you get to Solitude there will be stairs leading you to the upper part of the city. The building you must enter is covered in flags with The Legion insignia. There will always be four guards at the door you must go through. Enter the door and speak to General Tullius. He will then direct you to Legate Rikke, who is usually by the war table. She will then say you must clear out Fort Hraggstad which has been taken over by bandits.

Once the fort is clear you must report back to Rikke, and then speak with General Tullius as to begin the oath. After the oath is taken Tullius will direct you to the blacksmith where you will get your armor which is your choice of Light, Medium, (which consists of light, and heavy.) or Heavy.

Bugs
There is currently a bug where sometimes the quest target for the fort does not appear. The only solution found is to type "setstage CW01A 100" (Minus the quotation marks) into the console.

Possible Bug. Even though Hadvar says he'll vouche for you, Tullius will ALWAYS say he hasn't reported in.

Stealing from the armoury in the castle may lead to a glitch where everyone can see you, even if you're hidden. This can be very bad as General Tullius is unkillable.
