Description
===============
Follow the trail of a heroic knight by searching for his lost journals throughout Skyrim, claiming his weapons and armor along the way. You can begin this quest by discovering the Buried Tower located South/Southwest of Riften. Upon completion of this quest, you will come across a variety of one-handed and two-handed weapons. In addition, the entire Kynesguard armor set will be given to you, but not without clearing some of the vanilla game's most interesting dungeons.
Also, you can discover the abandoned hideout of a mysterious Daedra Hunter, slay the Dremora that guard his treasure, and claim your stealth/archery-focused bounty. The hideout is found near Ysgramor's Tomb.
- The armor is male only
- The Temple can be a player home, hence the exit
