Main Quest (Oblivion)

For other uses, see Main Quest.

Note: All remaining Oblivion Gates will close when the main questline is completed. This will lead to not being able to pick up Sigil Stones in order to enchant items (version 1.2.xxxx). The only way to get them after this is by using the console cheats to duplicate them.

Trivia

• For the quest Blood of the Daedra, it is suggested the Shrine of Mephala, Shrine of Malacath, or Shrine of Namira as the reward from these shrines are mediocre (depending on the character focus), but any Daedric Shrine can provide the necessary item.
