Getting Started with the Chorrol Mage Guild
In Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, joining the Mage’s Guild involves completing recommendation quests across several cities. One of these is the Chorrol Recommendation quest. This guide walks you through every step, so you don’t miss key decisions or rewards. The goal? Secure your spot at the Arcane University.
To begin, speak with Teekius inside the Chorrol Mages Guild. He won’t hand you a recommendation just like that — instead, he needs your help dealing with Earana, a rogue mage with a rebellious streak.
Step 1: Speak with Teekius
Head to the Chorrol Mages Guild and find Teekius. He explains that Earana, someone he has a strained past with, is back in town and likely up to something. He doesn’t want to deal with her directly, so he asks you to figure out her intentions.
Key Task:
-
Talk to Earana, who can usually be found outside the guild or nearby.
Step 2: Earana’s Request
Earana is quite straightforward — she wants you to find a book called Fingers of the Mountain. She says it’s useless to you and promises a reward if you bring it back to her. She tells you it’s located at Cloud Top, a remote ruin north of Chorrol, up in the mountains.
Important Tip:
-
Do not mention this task to Teekius — yet.
Step 3: Report Back to Teekius
Even though Earana said to keep quiet, your loyalty lies with the guild. Return to Teekius and tell him everything. He’ll express concern about Earana’s motives and instruct you to find the book yourself — and ensure it ends up with the guild instead.
Key Decision:
-
You’ll have to pick who to trust: Earana or the guild.
Step 4: Locate Cloud Top
Now it’s time to head out. Travel north of Chorrol, into the mountains, until you reach Cloud Top. It’s marked as a ruin on your map after Earana gives you the details.
Search the area to find the Fingers of the Mountain book. It’s usually sitting near a pedestal surrounded by a few enemies.
Tip:
-
Prepare for a short battle; bring some healing supplies.
Step 5: First Outcome – Giving It to Earana
If you take the book to Earana first:
-
She thanks you.
-
Promises a reward.
-
Tells you to come back later after she studies the book.
When you return:
-
She gives you a note with directions on how to gain a lightning-based spell.
-
You get a new ability if you revisit Cloud Top.
However, Teekius will be upset if you give the book to her first. You'll have to retrieve it back from Earana if you want the recommendation.
Step 6: Second Outcome – Giving It to Teekius
If you go straight to Teekius with the book:
-
He praises your decision.
-
Secures the book for the guild.
-
Immediately sends your Chorrol Recommendation to the Arcane University.
This is the cleaner, quicker route if you're focused on progressing through the Oblivion Mage Guild questline without extra detours.
Key Takeaways
-
Always talk to both Earana and Teekius before making decisions.
-
Cloud Top is northeast of Chorrol and requires a short mountain trek.
-
If you give the book to Earana, you’ll get a unique spell — but risk losing the guild’s trust.
-
Giving the book to Teekius ensures a recommendation without drama.
-
You can play both sides by retrieving the book from Earana later.
Wrapping Up the Chorrol Mage Guild Quest
Completing the Chorrol Recommendation Oblivion quest is a key part of joining the Arcane University. While it may seem like a simple errand, how you handle the Fingers of the Mountain task can affect both your character’s standing and your spell collection.
If you want to stick to the straight path, giving the book to Teekius ensures you stay in good standing with the guild. If you're feeling adventurous and don’t mind a few extra steps, letting Earana examine it first can grant you a unique lightning spell — as long as you recover the book afterward.
No matter which path you choose, the Oblivion Remastered guide to Chorrol's recommendation proves this quest is more than just a fetch task — it’s a subtle introduction to the game’s reputation system and moral decisions.
