Misty Grove

Misty Grove is an other-worldly region in the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The player can gain access to Misty Grove by initiating the quest A Night to Remember, by speaking to Sam Guevenne in the Bannered Mare in Whiterun.

The player will receive a drinking challenge from this man, and after the player downs the winning drink, the screen goes black and the player awakens in the Temple of Dibella in Markarth. At this point, the Priestess there will inform you of what exactly you'd been doing there and after some dialogue you try to retrace your steps in order to have a better recollection of the night in question.

The player retraces their steps and will eventually find themselves at Morvunskar, in which the portal to Misty Grove is located. After travelling through the portal, the player will travel along a nature strip path towards a dining table in the middle of the forest (similar to the one in the Pelagius Wing of Blue Palace) where some guests are gathered. There is one that stands out more than the rest, and this happens to be the Daedric Prince of Debauchery, Sanguine.

After a brief conversation with Sanguine, he reveals to you that he was Sam Guevenne in disguise, and goes on to award the player with Sanguine Rose , the staff that had originally been promised to the Dragonborn if he were to win the drinking contest. Sanguine then proceeds to teleport you out of Misty Grove and back into the Bannered Mare.

Bugs/Glitches

 * In some instances, If the player is to return to Morvunskar and make their way to where the portal was, Sanguine will be standing idly-by, reciting ordinary NPC lines,Fail.png and there will still be text reading "to Misty Grove", even though the graphic of the portal is no longer present. The player is permitted to pass through the invisible portal and may again gain access to Misty Grove. However, once inside, it will become apparent that Sanguine is no longer at the dining table, and only the guests remain there. Therefore, there is no way for the player to leave Misty Grove, and the player must reload an earlier save file as the game can no longer continue.
 * It is also possible for the player to be confronted by Esbern while spending time in Misty Grove after gaining access to it again as the above bug indicates. UnLMFAO.png the commoners at the dining table, you can go into dialogue with Esbern. If the player is to follow Esbern, he will walk towards the point where the player entered Misty Grove, and will seemingly open a non-existant door to leave Misty Grove, and even the creaking of a door opening will be heard. Esbern will disappear/fade away, as many NPC's do when entering/leaving a region.
