Priory of the Nine is a quest available in The Elder Scrolls IV: Knights of the Nine. After hearing about the massacre at the Chapel of Dibella in Anvil, the Hero has set forth to find the Relics of the Crusader and stop the attacks led by Umaril the Unfeathered.
Background[]
The Hero has discovered that the Knights of the Nine had a Priory in the West Weald and that one of the relics may still be there.
Walkthrough[]
The Priory of the Nine is near the border to Elsweyr in the West Weald. The Hero needs to head there and enter the priory.
Once inside, there is an open space on the left side on the first floor, where there is a symbol on the floor. Using Sir Amiel's Ring will open a secret staircase leading to the basement.
Continuing down to the Priory basement, they can find a chest with several Knight of the Nine Cuirasses and Shields. Past the chest, there is a door leading into the Undercroft.
The Undercroft[]
Here, the Hero will find a large crypt, with the Cuirass of the Crusader on the far side of the room on a stand. As they approach, a ghost steps out and defends the armor. He identifies himself as Sir Amiel, one of the Knights of the Nine, he is then joined by seven other ghosts.
The Hero fights with the Knights
Sir Amiel will tell the hero that if they want the cuirass, they must prove they are worthy and must beat all eight of them in single combat. In order they will face:
The Hero has beaten the Knights
The Knights will step into the ring one by one, when defeated they will fall to the ground, and then return to the edge after they have revived. After the Hero has defeated Sir Amiel, the Knights will allow them to take the Cuirass of the Crusader from the stand.
Talk to the Knights[]
From this point, they can go around and talk to the Knights and learn more about the Order and what lead to its downfall, as well as learn where the rest of the artifacts are located. There is no specific order to the gathering of these items.
Recovering the lost artifacts[]
- Nature's Fury – recover the Boots of the Crusader
- Stendarr's Mercy – recover the Gauntlets of the Crusader
- The Path of the Righteous – recover the Mace of the Crusader. One will need the Boots of the Crusader before the mace.
