You and Narathzul are on the way to the besieged Monastery. Narathzul proves his incredible power and clears a whole troop of [[Nehrim:Soldier|soldiers]] with one spell (be careful not to charge forward until he is done, since you might end up experiencing his incredible power along with the enemy soldiers). Narathzul suggests that you should kill the remaining guards in a more casual way. Having dealt with the enemy troops, Narathzul Arantheal is welcomed by Callisto and appoints himself as the new leader of the Order. (During the dialogue, you have some time to deposit stuff in your safe container, resupply, or just play some football with the burning logs fallen off from the formerly besieged monastery. But don't digress too far, or you might miss the departure!)

Narathzul's first decision is to head for [[Nehrim:Cahbaet]] with you and [[Nehrim:Callisto]]. He starts running towards the stables, and you should follow him. Before he, Callisto or you have saddled [[Nehrim:horses]], '''save your game!''' The next part of this quest, alas, is prone to bugs and crashes.

It can be tricky not to get outpaced by Callisto and Arantheal, but keep in mind that they are following the most obvious way to Cahbaet, so you know where to search should you lose them. You should not encounter many enemies along the way, but chances are high you will meet 1-2 [[Nehrim:spiders]] and, possibly, a [[Nehrim:Looter]].

Should you save your game here, and, upon reloading, find Callisto disappearing''',''' you have probably triggered the Callisto horse bug. Don't worry: it is easily fixed. Try to walk inside Callisto's horse (this sounds strange, but every time this bug occurs, Callisto's horse loses its collision geometry, so you can just walk inside it) and activate the invisible (but clickable!) Callisto. Then he suddenly reappears atop of his horse (and is visible once again), and the game goes on.

The entourage stops at the Cahbaet marketplace.

==Walkthrough==
Defeat at least one soldier on the bridge nearest to the drawbridge in order to continue. Narathzul won't kill them all on his own.

Do as your companions suggest and mount your horse. Then simply follow the green marker on the map (the location of Narathzul).

When you, Narathzul and Callisto arrive at Cahbaet your quest will update and the quest is finished. [[Nehrim:Taranor]] will greet you.
==Notes==

* Narathzul will not defeat all of the soldiers just outside of the drawbridge. The [[Nehrim:Player]] or a [[Nehrim:Followers|Follower]] must do this.
* Make sure to loot the soldiers ASAP as the game may remove the corpses very shortly after. This is an engine limitation, as only 20 actors can be in one cell at any given time.
* Narathzul and Callisto will generally ride until they reach the next unloaded cell and then stop and wait for you. This means you cannot teleport to [[Nehrim:Cahbaet]] and expect them to arrive there on their own. During this quest, [[Nehrim:Aeterna Warrior|Aeterna Warriors]] and dead [[Nehrim:Soldier|Soldiers]] will spawn at certain points along the road.

==Bugs==

* [[Nehrim:Guard Akarus]] and [[Nehrim:Callisto]] have no dialog when spoken to during this quest.

=== Soul of the Sword ===

# If the player gets to the caverns section while Narathzul is still at [[Nehrim:Zelara's Tomb]], it will prevent the quest from ending and this one from beginning properly. To fix this, you need to type of series of commands. Unfortunately, a batch file won't work for this.
# Before starting this process, I highly recommend downloading and installing XOBSE and Console Paste Support, which allows you to copy and paste the following commands into the console, one by one:
#* The following 53 commands (the first one is optional) must be entered one at a time, line by line:
#* <code>PlaySound SPLConjurationCast</code>
#* <code>SetStage MQ17 5</code>
#* <code>ForceWeather 38EED</code>
#* <code>Prid 1D86F9</code>
#* <code>enable</code>
#* <code>resurrect</code>
#* <code>Resethealth</code>
#* <code>moveto 22CB08</code>
#* <code>Prid 1D86FA</code>
#* <code>enable</code>
#* <code>resurrect</code>
#* <code>resethealth</code>
#* <code>moveto 22CB0C</code>
#* <code>Prid 1D86FD</code>
#* enable
#* <code>resurrect</code>
#* <code>resethealth</code>
#* <code>moveto 22CB0D</code>
#* <code>Prid 1D86FC</code>
#* <code>enable</code>
#* <code>resurrect</code>
#* <code>resethealth</code>
#* <code>moveto 22CB0E</code>
#* <code>Prid 1D86FB</code>
#* <code>enable</code>
#* <code>resurrect</code>
#* <code>resethealth</code>
#* <code>Prid 1D86F8</code>
#* <code>enable</code>
#* <code>resurrect</code>
#* <code>resethealth</code>
#* <code>moveto 22CB0F</code>
#* <code>Prid 1D86F7</code>
#* <code>enable</code>
#* <code>resurrect</code>
#* <code>resethealth</code>
#* <code>Prid 1D86F6</code>
#* <code>enable</code>
#* <code>resurrect</code>
#* <code>resethealth</code>
#* <code>removeSpell 1D85C8</code>
#* <code>addSpell 1ED983</code>
#* <code>Prid 1DD1ED</code>
#* <code>enable</code>
#* <code>resurrect</code>
#* <code>resethealth</code>
#* <code>removeSpell 1D85C8</code>
#* <code>addSpell 1D0AE4</code>
#* <code>moveto 22CB10</code>
#* <code>Prid 1DB27A</code>
#* <code>MoveTo 1E2874</code>
#* <code>Player.MoveTo 1E2873</code>
#* <code>SetStage MQ16 115</code>

# Even after doing this, some soldiers may not spawn. You'll know when this happens when Narathzul just stands there with his weapon and no enemies are around. Just make the three closest to the drawbridge (1D86F6, 1D86F7, 1D86F8) have been properly enabled using the commands above (type them again if need be). Once enabled, kill them to progress the quest.

==Quest Journal==
The use of the console is the same as in Oblivion. A description how to use console commands can be found [http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Console_Command_Tutorial#SetStage_BaseID_StageNum here]. Messages in brackets [] do not have a journal entry but represent the action taken at that stage of the quest.
