The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints
Origin of the Gray Prince
1 of 12: NOTE: This quest is no longer available after you win The Arena's grand championship bout.
2 of 12: To start on the quest, find and talk to the so-called "Gray Prince."
3 of 12: His real name is Agronak gro-Malog, and you can always find him in the Arena Bloodworks area.
4 of 12: Talk to him about his nickname to learn that he's really a half-orc, and his father is a noble lord.
5 of 12: He gives you a key and sends you to Crowhaven (location 21 on the Gold Coast map) to find some proof of his noble birthright.
6 of 12: Inside, follow the only path available until you come to a closed gate.
7 of 12: Go through it and turn left to find a door to open.
8 of 12: A little farther along, you'll come to the door that's opened by the key that gro-Malog gave you.
9 of 12: Past that door, explore around until you find the room that Lord Lovidicus (a badly dressed vampire) is hanging around in.
10 of 12: As you loot his living area, keep an eye out for the Journal of the Lord Lovidicus. (It's on a table pointed to by a quest arrow.)
11 of 12: Take the journal and return to gro-Malog to hand it over.
12 of 12: As a reward, he'll give you a permanent +3 to your Blade, Block, and Athletics skills.
