You’ve teamed up with the Blades and now you’ve managed to get Brother Martin tagging along. Nice work! The next step in the game is ‘The Path of Dawn’. This quest is where things start getting spicy. It involves secret cults, weird books, creepy sewers, and a very complicated puzzle. If you’ve ever wondered how to get all the Mythic Dawn Commentaries, survive the secret meeting, and crack that cryptic clue about the “midday sun,” this guide’s got you covered. Step-by-step, spoiler-light, and stress-free.

Step 1: Meet Baurus at Luther Broad’s Boarding House

The first thing you need to do is to head to Luther Broad’s Boarding House. It’s in the Elven Gardens District of the Imperial City. If you’ve been following the main quest, you’ll find Baurus there waiting for you. First of all enter inside then take a seat at the bar beside him. Once you’ve done that, begin to have dialogue with him. It’s important to note that he’ll keep his cards close to his chest. He’ll also warn you to keep things low-key. Then, he stands up and follows a sketchy guy named Astav Wirich into the basement. Naturally, you follow too. This is Oblivion. Minding your own business never gets you anywhere. Down in the cellar, Astav drops the act and reveals he’s a Mythic Dawn agent. Cue the fight music. Take him down, loot his body, and you’ll find your first Mythic Dawn Commentaries, Volume 1. Once you’ve got it, talk to Baurus again. He’ll tell you to go see Tar-Meena at the Arcane University. She’s a Daedric expert and the only one in town who might be able to make sense of this cult reading material.

Step 2: Tar-Meena and the Second Book

Next stop: Arcane University (Imperial City’s southeast). Find Tar-Meena chilling in the lobby. Tell her about the book you found, and she’ll hand over Mythic Dawn Commentaries Vol. 2 like it’s no big deal. She’ll also point you to The First Edition bookstore in the Market District because you’re not done collecting yet.

Step 3: Getting Mythic Dawn Book 3

Time to hit up the bookstore. Head to The First Edition, where you’ll meet Phintias, the store owner. He has the book you’re looking for but it’s already been sold. Apparently, a man named Gwinas just bought Mythic Dawn Commentaries, Volume 3, and Phintias isn’t too keen on giving you his customer’s order. Fair enough, but we’ve got a few ways to handle this situation. You can choose to wait until Gwinas actually shows up to pick up his book. You can talk to him, tell him what the Mythic Dawn are really about, and he’ll hand over the book. Or you can pick the lock on Phintias’ chest downstairs and steal it. But be warned. He has a very sharp eye. If you do try, distract him upstairs first, then rush down and grab it. And yes, technically, you can pickpocket or kill Gwinas later to take the book, but that’s just unnecessary chaos. There’s already enough cult blood in this quest. We don’t need innocent NPCs added to the list. Anyway, once you’ve got Volume 3, talk to Gwinas (if you haven’t already) and he’ll give you a note from his Mythic Dawn contact. That note points to a very secret meeting in the Sunken Sewers.

Step 4: Into the Sunken Sewers

Report back to Baurus at the Boarding House. He’ll agree to help and suggest the two of you head through the sewers together. The entrance is in the Elven Gardens District, southeast corner. Inside, it’s mostly goblins and mudcrabs, so nothing too wild. Eventually, you’ll reach the secret meeting spot. You can either:

• Let Baurus attend while you provide backup, or
• Sit in yourself to see what goes down. Either way, the Mythic Dawn agents will ambush you, and you’ll have to fight Raven Camoran. Loot his body for Mythic Dawn Commentaries Vol. 4 and the Sunken Sewers Key to unlock your way out. Now you’ve got all four volumes. Time to solve the riddle.

Step 5: Solving the Mythic Dawn Book Puzzle

If you take the books back to Tar-Meena, she’ll offer to study them, but she takes her sweet time. Like, one in-game day per book. If you cannot wait then you can crack the code yourself. Here’s how to do it: Open each Mythic Dawn Commentary in your inventory and look at the first large letter of each paragraph. Put all those big letters together across all four books, and you’ll notice something interesting. They spell out this secret message: “GREEN EMPEROR WAY WHERE THE TOWER TOUCHES MIDDAY SUN.” That’s your next lead.

Step 6: The Midday Revelation

Head to Green Emperor Way, the garden area circling the Imperial Palace. On the west side, find the Tomb of Prince Camarril. It’s a round, distinct grave marker. Now here’s where it gets interesting:

• Stand in front of the tomb.
• Wait until 12 PM (midday). The moment that the clock reaches noon, a glowing red Mythic Dawn symbol will start to show on the wall. Touch it to finish The Path of Dawn quest and officially start the next main quest, “Dagon Shrine.” Afterward, go by Cloud Ruler Temple to talk to Baurus. He’ll give you a sweet skill boost in Blade, Block, and Heavy Armor for all your hard work.
