Quest – Razor’s Edge

Gilraen Quest Giver

Quest Giver: Gilraen (Inside the dungeon)

Razor’s Edge begins when you meet Gilraen inside City of Ash I. Whisper Grove has been turned into a City of Ash by the invading forces of Mehrunes Dagon, and she’s determined to protect the remaining Bosmer from total destruction. She needs your help to stop the Daedric invasion and restore peace to the Grove.

Completing Razor’s Edge

To complete the quest, you must defeat Infernal Guardian, Warden of the Shrine, the enemies at the Central Barricade, and finally Razor Master Erthas. After the final battle, speak with Gilraen to complete the quest. You’ll be rewarded with gold, a Skill Point, and the Grove-Watcher’s Sunderflame Brigandine, which is part of the Sunderflame armor set.
