Accepting Trinity Restored
After completing The Pursuit, you will automatically acquire Trinity Restored from Brynjolf, with your first task being to speak with Karliah.
To start this quest, head to The Ragged Flagon and talk with Karliah. She will tell you about plans to execute Mercer since he betrayed the Thieves Guild. Here you will learn about the Nightingales and she will tell you and Brynjolf to meet her at the Standing Stone, a large rock south of Riften. This stone also serves at the headquarters for the Nightingales.
|
Note: Players have reported a bug at this point in the quest. If you wait too long to speak with Karliah at the Standing Stone, she will return back to Riften and you will not be able to finish this quest. It's best to complete this quest quickly so no bugs occur. |
What Are The Nightingales?
As mentioned earlier, the Nightingales are a group within the Thieves Guild tasked with protecting Nocturnal. Not much is known about the group, but many believe that it is made up to scare members of the Thieves Guild. Thrꩵough Trinity Restor𒅌ed, you learn that this is not true and the group is real.
Nightingale Hall
Now that you know of the headquarters, also called the Nightingale Hall, you will need to go ♐inside and complete a ceremony to become a Nightingale.
To do this, enter into the hall, activate the armor stone, and acquire the Nightingale armor set. Be sure to equip the armor set, and then rejoin Karliah and Brynjolf. Karliah will tell you of the Nightingale Oath and ceremony, giving you the option to refuse joining the group. Although you do have the option to refuse, you will need to accept if you wish to continue on with the Thieves Guild questline.
Nightingale Ceremony
The ceremony to become a Nightingale is pretty straightforward. Stand on an empty glyph symbol alongside Karliah and Brynjolf while Nocturnal speaks and allows you to become a Nightingale. Afterward, Karliah will inform you of the true crime that Mercer has committed, which is pretty serious. Additionally, Brynjolf will ask if you want to become the leader of the Thieves Guild after completing the questline. After this conversation, the quest is complete and you will begin Blindsighted, which requires you to head to Irkngthand.
Rewards For Completing Trinity Restored
The armor that you equip during the ceremony serves as the reward for Trinity Restored. As with other pieces of armor, you will be able to increase the stats of t🐷his set. The armor set consists of the following items.
