Find the Heir

Overview

 * Quest giver: Jauffre


 * Reward: Progress in storyline

Background Information
Now that you've delivered the Amulet of Kings to Jauffre, you must find the only remaining heir to the throne, a priest named Martin. Jauffre tells you that he is currently the priest at the chapel in Kvatch.

Walkthrough
Once you arrive at Kvatch, you will find the city in ruins. The entrance is blocked by an Oblivion gate. You may run into Hirtel, who tells you that Kvatch was destroyed by Daedra, and Martin is presumed to be dead. In front of the Oblivion gate, you'll find some barricades and a few soldiers, including the Captain of the Kvatch Guard, Savlian Matius. If you talk to him, he tells you that Martin is safe inside the chapel with a few remaining survivors. If you venture into the Daedra-infested Kvatch and further into the Chapel of Akatosh, you'll find him. However, he will not leave with you and let everyone fend for themselves. Speak to Matius again. It becomes clear that you must venture inside the Oblivion gate and destroy it to save Martin and the other survivors.

See Breaking the Siege of Kvatch

Returning to reality
Once you've closed the gate, speak to Matius and he'll give the all clear to evacuate the Chapel of Akatosh for safety outside the city. Speak to Martin and he'll follow you outside Kvatch. If you do not speak with him, he will leave the chapel and you will have to find him at the base camp. After speaking to him, you must bring him to Weynon Priory.
