Quest Goal

While Narathzul will be studying the book of Predestination, he has a task prepared for the three of you. He wants you to incite the people of the Southrealm to rebel against the Temple in order to prevent future war with the Southrealm, when he, Narathzul, dethrones the Light-Born and becomes the Shadow God. According to Narathzul, the people there desire this freedom but lack somebody or something that would prompt the revolt. You will provide them with it.

Passing the Border

Callisto will choose the eastern road to the Southrealm, owing to the fact that the border pass there is less stringent since magic has contaminated the whole area. Callisto will also handle the Temple guards there and present them with some forged documents which prove that you are members of the Temple itself.

Walkthrough

The Southrealm Border Station

Reach the Border

Speak to Callisto when you are ready to begin the journey. As soon as you admit that you are indeed willing to start the journey, Callisto will teleport all of you to Waverock. Follow Callisto and deal with the enemies on your way. When you finally approach the border station, everything goes according to plan. Having shown the forged documents, Callisto successfully convinces the guards that you are members of the Temple.

Get through the Magical Barrier

However, you still need to get through the magical barrier that blocks your way further. Callisto orders you to use the rune stone here. The Rune Stone should be in plain sight somewhere in front of you near the magical barrier.

Callisto's Plan

At this point Callisto will reveal more about his plan. You are to meet with one of the Order's agents, Nicci. She will cooperate with you and help you in finding your way around. But first you will have to enter Ostian and head towards the secret meeting place.

The Road to Ostian

Follow Callisto as he leads you towards Ostian (past the Crater and down the south main road). On your way you will come across Creator's Shrine The Fifth Proclamation. Read the Proclamation and a new side quest Pilgrimage will be triggered. The road to Ostian is pretty straightforward, you simply need to follow Callisto and deal with some enemies.

Secret Meeting Place

Meet with Nicci

The meeting is arranged to take place on the peninsula just outside Ostian. Do not stop following Callisto, he will lead you to the location. Your quest will update with the information that you arrived safely and you will see Nicci approaching you. At this point, the next quest Unexpected Difficulties silently starts.

Reward

• +2100 EP

Tips

• If you lose sight of Callisto, you can always check the green marker on the map ( it indicates Callisto's present location).

• If Callisto goes off track for some reason, you can attack him to get him to chase you down the path to the fort and/or the city of Ostian and then yield to him when he's back on track. After stage 55 of the quest, you are given a summon spell for Callisto for this purpose.

Notes

You cannot skip the journey by teleporting Callisto directly to Nicci via the console. Callisto operates on a series of AI packages that updates the quest stage when one is completed. He must complete all of these AI packages for the quest to operate normally. These are reflected in the quest stages below.

Quest Journal

The use of the console is the same like in Oblivion. A description on how to use console commands can be found here. Messages in brackets [] do not have a journal entry but represent the action taken at that stage of the quest.
