If you've ever wanted to join a secret order of dragon-emblazoned bodyguards, Oblivion Remastered has you covered. The Blades are the Emperor’s personal guard—and yes, they’ll let you in. No, you don’t need years of training. You just need to follow the main quest long enough.
When Can You Join the Blades?
You can’t just walk up to Cloud Ruler Temple and ask for a membership card. To join the Blades, you’ll need to progress through the Main Story until you escort Martin Septim to Cloud Ruler Temple.
Here’s the step-by-step:
Follow the Main Quest until you rescue Martin from Kvatch.
Escort Martin and Jauffre from Chorrol to Cloud Ruler Temple.
After the arrival cutscene, speak to Jauffre. You’ll usually find him right outside the temple or inside if he’s feeling shy.
During your conversation, he’ll offer you a place among the Blades. Accept it, and congratulations—you’re in.
What Do You Get for Joining the Blades?
A free set of Blades armor and a trusty Akaviri Katana.
Access to Cloud Ruler Temple, including free beds and storage.
A sense of honor and duty... or at least some cool gear.
Final Blurb
Joining the Blades is basically a reward for doing what you were already supposed to do—save the world. So, if you like the idea of wearing shiny armor and pretending you're more important than you really are, this is your chance. Just follow the questline, talk to Jauffre, and enjoy your new life as a dragon-branded bodyguard.
