A group of Mythic Dawn Acolytes
Mythic Dawn Agents are members of the Mythic Dawn cult and followers of Mankar Camoran. They are generally non-hostile; however, if you have already completed the quest Dagon Shrine, they will attack you upon sight until Light the Dragonfires is completed. These agents can mostly be found at the secret shrine located within Lake Arrius Caverns; there are some agents who pose as regular townsfolk within several of the cities.

Other Generic Agents[edit]
There are also some other variants of Mythic Dawn Agents which do not fall into a specific category, such as the Mythic Dawn Leader and Storeroom Guard. Both can be found at the shrine situated in the Lake Arrius Caverns. They wear the typical cultist garb consisting of the Mythic Dawn robe and hood, while also wearing randomly generated shoes. Both variants have a chance to be carrying some gold, whereas the storeroom guard carries the key to the storeroom and may also carry a leveled scroll.

Named Mythic Dawn Agents[edit]
Sleeper Agents[edit]
Not all Mythic Dawn agents are dressed in the typical cultist garb. A large number walk among the general population across Cyrodiil and are indistinguishable from normal citizens. From there they are able to keep tabs on the goings-on in the cities and help progress the opening of even more Oblivion Gates outside major cities and settlements. However, after the completion of Dagon Shrine, these agents will attack you on sight, until Light the Dragonfires is completed.
Other Agents[edit]
Dialogue[edit]
Many Mythic Dawn agents share a number of dialogue lines. While in Lake Arrius Caverns, members will greet you with:
- "How can I serve you, brother/sister?"
- Mankar Camoran
- "The Master is preaching in the Shrine as we speak! Hurry, you should not miss the chance to hear the Master's words!"
- Mysterium Xarxes
- "You should complete your initiation before we speak any further of that."
- Mehrunes Dagon
- "We have been preparing for the coming of Lord Dagon for many years. You come to us at a fateful time. The Master has promised us that the Time of Preparation is almost over! The Time of Cleansing is almost here!"
- Time of Cleansing
- "You should complete your initiation before we speak any further of that."
During Mankar's sermon, they will instead say:
- "Shh. The Master is speaking!"
During the sermon itself you will hear them exclaim:
- "Praise be!"
- "So sayeth Lord Dagon. Praise be."
Once it is over, they will encourage you to kill Jeelius:
- "Slay the sacrifice. Lord Dagon thirsts for blood."
Hesitating will net you:
- "Your blood will satisfy Lord Dagon just as well as the prisoner's. It will be our honor to spill your blood for Him, if you choose that path."
If you then perform the sacrifice, they will warmly greet you:
- "Welcome, brother/sister. You are one of the Chosen now."
- Mankar Camoran
- "The Master knows the secret mind of Lord Dagon. He speaks with Him and teaches us from His holy book, the Mysterium Xarxes. You are fortunate indeed, to have heard the Master preach at your initiation!"
- Mysterium Xarxes
- "Lord Dagon wrote it with his own hand, and gave it to the Master as a sign of His favor. None but the Master may touch it or read from it. You were fortunate to have heard the Master read from its sacred pages."
- Time of Cleansing
- "It is very near, don't worry. We await only the Master's word before we throw open the gates to Oblivion. When Lord Dagon Himself walks the earth, our victory will be complete. He will rule over Tamriel and the Mythic Age will be restored."
- "Greet the new day, brother/sister." (to each other)
- "Dawn is breaking."
- "The Dawn is breaking!"
- "The time of Cleansing is almost here!"
- "Lord Dagon will welcome your soul in Oblivion!"
- "You are weak, like the gods you pray to!"
- "Be glad you will not live to see the day Lord Dagon walks the earth."
- "Only the Chosen will survive the Cleansing."
- "Paradise awaits me." (upon death)
- "I do not fear death." (upon death)
Conversations[edit]
When in Lake Arrius Caverns you may overhear Mythic Dawn members conversing among themselves:
|
Conversation 1 |
Conversation 2 |
Conversation 3 |
Question |
""When will the Master order the Cleansing to begin? Everything is ready. The door is unlocked. We just need to throw it open for Lord Dagon to enter." |
"I hear that everything is ready for the Cleansing to begin. Sister Orla has seen the gate citadels. Lord Dagon is mustering His finest troops." |
"I can't find Brother Jerrol. I need something out of the storeroom. Have you seen him?" |
Answer |
"Patience. We will see Lord Dagon walk the earth with our own eyes. Nothing can stop us now." |
"It will be glorious when the smoke of the burning cities rises to blind the eyes of the false gods! Their reign over Tamriel is almost over." |
"He's never around when you need him. And he never attends services anymore. If he's not careful, he may find himself on the altar one day soon." |
Related Quests[edit]
- The Mythic Dawn agents attack due to a 100 point faction-wide decrease in disposition when you steal the Mysterium Xarxes. At the end of the quest, Light the Dragonfires, the disposition drop is reversed. Therefore, any agents who survive the main quest will no longer be hostile.
- Using a combination of Charm, Speechcraft, and/or 100% Chameleon, you can raise an agent's disposition to prevent them from attacking you. Conversely, by deliberately lowering their disposition you can provoke these agents to attack you well before stealing the Mysterium Xarxes.
- You may also encounter trouble with the sleeper agents before the quest, Dagon Shrine. If you're traveling to Cloud Ruler Temple with both Martin and Jauffre during the Weynon Priory quest and you enter a town where a Mythic Dawn sleeper agent is located, they may attack and kill the agent.
- It is possible to identify the sleeper agents before completion of Dagon Shrine. Generally agents have some Mythic Dawn paraphernalia in their house, such as a robe or one of the Mythic Dawn Commentaries volumes. If you leave Lake Arrius Caverns immediately after talking to the doorkeeper, and engage conversation with a townsperson who is an agent, they will say "Greet the new day, brother/sister", but will still have the normal dialogue options available.
