(Leonidas glides to Dawnstar, and he finds someone arguing with a priestess)

Madena: Your ancestors wouldn't want this, Silus!

Silus: Why should I hide from it? It's my family's legacy!

Madena: It's the past! Dead oaths on dead lips. Let it stay here

Silus: The museum is opening, Madea

(Madea sighs and walks away)

Leonidas: (Whispers) What was that all about?

Silus: And here comes my first visitor. The museum of the mythic dawn is open, my friend!

Leonidas: Oh yeah. A courier told me about this place

Silus: And here you are. Good. Come in, browse the display, and lets talk. I have a job that you look perfect for

Leonidas: Sounds good

Silus: Come. Lets talk inside

(Leonidas and Silus go inside of the museum)

Silus: Feel free to look around. Come and talk to me when you're ready to discuss the job I mentioned

Leonidas: Lets talk about the job

Silus: A little history first. After the oblivion crisis, a number of groups cropped up dedicated to wiping out the remnants of the mythic dawn. One of these groups found Mehrunes's razor. The artifact of Mehrunes Dagon. They split it into three fragments and pledged to keep them apart forever. That was almost a hundred and fifty years ago, and the pieces are still being kept by the descendants of that group. And they're right here in Skyrim

Leonidas: And I suppose you want me to find these fragments?

Silus: Yes, indeed. At least two of the owners are dangerous marauders. Their names are Ghunzul and Drascua. And I only know that the third owner lives in Morthal. I'll gladly pay you for getting the pieces you can. No questions asked

Leonidas: Can you tell me more about this artifact?

Silus: The razor is Mehrunes Dagon's personal artifact. It has always heralded bloody change and carnage. It has held many names throughout history. The dagger of final words, the bane of the righteous, and the king slayer. The mythic dawn worshipped Dagon as a god. Having his razor would be invaluable to my collection

Leonidas: Thank you. I must be going now

Silus: Good luck finding the fragments

(Leonidas glides to a place south-west of Markarth called dead crone rock to look for the first owner. He instead finds a group of hagravens)

(Leonidas pulls out his sword in one hand, while putting up a magic ward in the other hand)

(He kills the hagravens one by one, and he finds the pommel stone on the corpse of the hagraven named Drascua)

(Leonidas then glides to cracked tusk keep to look for the second owner, so he finds Ghunzul in a tower)

Ghunzul: Looking for the blade?! You're not the first!

Leonidas: Unlike the others, I will succeed!

(Leonidas and Ghunzul both draw their swords and duel)

Leonidas: FUS RO DAH!

(Leonidas force shouts Ghunzul through an open window, killing him with gravity)

(He then uses the skeleton key to open lock to the door ahead. He then uses the skeleton key to open the chest, revealing the shards the the razor's blade)

(Leonidas uses his life detection magic to look for the third owner. He eventually tracks him down in Morthal)

Jorgen: Unless it's about the mill, I don't have time to talk. Too much to do right now

Leonidas: Then in that case, I'll make this quick. I'm looking for the pieces of the dagger of Mehrunes Dagon. And I know you know where to find one of them

(Jorgen suddenly looks very nervous, but then tries to shrug it off)

Jorgen: I don't know what you're talking about, stranger

Leonidas: Really? Silus Vesuius says otherwise

Jorgen: Oh, him. I've heard of him. My father had suspicions about his connection to the mythic dawn. I guess they were true then. I don't need this. My family wasted 8 generations keeping that razor safe from a dead cult. As far as I care, it can stay locked away in my house

Leonidas: (Thinks) This fool just unwittingly revealed the location of the blade

Jorgen: Goodbye

(Jorgen walks away to work at the mill, but then Leonidas uses the skeleton key to break into Jorgen's house and steal the hilt of the razor)

(Leonidas glides back to Dawnstar and talks to Silus)

Silus: Finally, all of the pieces of Mehrunes' razor are in my hands

(Silus gives Leonidas a bag of gold)

Silus: It's time I let you in on something. There's a fourth piece. That scabbard in my display case. Built to house the razor. And there's more. I know how to put the pieces together. We just need to take them to Dagon's shrine and contact the lord of change directly

(Leonidas carries Silus to a shrine of Mehrnes Dagon while gliding, with him giving the directions)

(Silus puts the pieces of the dagger onto the shrine)

Silus: It's not working. Why don't you give it a try? Just put your hands on the altar

Leonidas: If you say so

(Leonidas places his hands onto the altar, and he hears the voice of Mehrunes Dagon)

Mehrunes: You, mortal. You are worthy of speaking to. You have claimed several daedric artifacts, including the pieces to my razor. It has been an amusing game to witness. But I do not declare a winner when there is still a pawn on the board. Kill Silus. He and his family have served their purpose

Leonidas: It will be done

Mehrunes: Kill him. Take your rightful place as my champion

Leonidas: Silus. Mehrunes Dagon requires something of you

Silus: What-?

(Leonidas plunges his sword through Silus's chest and kicks him away)

Leonidas: Your life

Mehrunes: I am pleased, mortal. I will give to you my razor. Use it to wreak havoc on Tamriel

Leonidas: Thank you, Dagon

Mehrunes: You are worthy. Fill the world with destruction in my name. Place your hands upon my altar one last time, and you will witness the power of Mehrunes Dagon for yourself

(The dagger seems to assemble itself mid air)

(Leonidas takes the dagger and puts it in his knife sheath)

Mehrunes: Before you go, mortal. One more challenge. Ha ha ha

(Two dremora warriors appear with daedric armor)

(One dremora warrior swings his sword at Leonidas, but he blocks it with his cape and uses the razor to kill him)

(The other warrior tackles Leonidas and puts a blade to his neck)

Dremora: Any last words?

Leondias: Yes. FUS RO DAH!

(Leonidas force shouts the other dremora warrior off the side of the mountain, letting gravity do the rest)

(He then takes the daedric armor off of one of the dremora warriors)

Leonidas: Maximus is going to lose his mind when he sees this
