Path of Iron

(Try to take it. Just try)

The Paladin Melus Petelius served the Nine faithfully, but shed his shining armor after the death of his wife. Daring adventurers can brave terrors in the wilds of Cyrodiil to try to reclaim it - but only if they first get the blessing of the Gods.

To start this quest you need to activate the claymore at the grave of Petelius' wife in near Brindle Home.

Once you get the message from the Gods, you will have to do some unpaladin-like snooping in Petelius' cabin, break into his basement and find the shrine with his journal. That should allow you to answer their questions and continue with the quest. If should be noted that if you have completed the quest for Molag Bal, tormenting Petelius, the Nine will not select you as their champion.

(That's not creepy at all)

The Journal also holds to clues to where all of the pieces of armor are resting. Each in dungeons that are guarded fiercely by their denizens.
