This is the standard start quest for Legacy of the Dragonborn. It is skipped if using Alternate Start - Live Another Life and the Relic Hunter - Guildmaster Start addon which lead into variations of the quest 'Dragonborn Gallery'.
This quest can be triggered in one of three ways;
- Walk into the Museum and speak to Auryen Morellus.
- Read the flyer Seeking Treasure Hunters in one of the Taverns.
- Sell a relic to a vendor and receive a Letter from Auryen Morellus regarding it.
The quest consists of 3 basic fetch quests where you have to retrieve specific relics before being invited to partner with Auryen as the full time Relic Hunter.
Walkthrough
Speak to Auryen Morellus in Solitude about the Relic Hunter position
If you happen to find and read the flyer 'Seeking Treasure Hunters' in one of the Skyrim taverns, this objective will be triggered.
Speak to Auryen Morellus in Solitude about his letter
If you find and sell a relic that can be displayed in the museum, a courier will approach you later and give you a 'Letter from Auryen Morellus' which triggers this objective.
Alternatively, you can simply visit the museum without having found the flyer or sold a relic.
(Note that the museum is locked at night to prevent you from disturbing Auryen's well-deserved sleep...)
When walking into the museum you will notice that the entrance to the Hall of Heroes is blocked by a rope. Auryen is standing behind it, approaching him will cause him to speak to you and trigger the quest. After greeting you, Auryen will share his desire to have you go out and retrieve three relics for him. If you agree, he will send you out to find the Sixth House Bell Hammer, Denstagmer's Ring and the Jade Warrior 2.
Note that unlike in the Classic version, only three items must be found and you can acquire and deliver them in any order.
Find the Sixth House Bellhammer in Broken Helm Hollow
The Bell Hammer can be found in Broken Helm Hollow, guarded by some bandits. Collecting the hammer will activate the objective "Deliver the Sixth House Bellhammer to Auryen".
Find Denstagmer's Ring at Silent Moons Camp
The ring is located in Silent Moons Camp, in a strongbox at the end of the interior dungeon. It's also worth noting that this is the same location you can find Malrus' Journal which will start the quest 'The Book of Wonders'. Collecting the ring will activate the objective "Deliver Denstagmer's Ring to Auryen".
Find the Jade Warrior 2 somewhere in Reach
The statue is located in a Forsworn encampment near Reachwater Rock, on a table in one of the tents. Collecting the statue will activate the objective "Deliver the Jade Warrior 2 to Auryen".
Delivering the items to Auryen
As stated above, it doesn't matter in which order you deliver the items to Auryen. After giving all three to him, you're officially approved as the museum's Relic Hunter and will receive the 'Key to Dragonborn Gallery' which let's you access the museum at any time. The quest then completes and Auryen will give you his famous 'Ten Septim Tour'. You can also grab the Curator's Guide afterwards.
