Hey,

Has this happened to anyone? I was exploring a cabin near Ivarstead, slept and read a few books on the bookshelf and all of the sudden this new objective magically appears: "FIND RED EAGLES SWORD" what the hell?
I re-read the books and no reference to this quest or nothing. Went to the Skyrim wiki and your suppose to get it reading "The Legend of the Red Eagle", but the book isn′t there. Is it possible that I read the book in dragonsreach for example and only now the quest appears? Anyway, im loving the game, taking it slow, and it's been one of the greatest gaming experiences ive ever had even if it has these annoying little bugs.

This quest is obtained by reading a book. The book is in dragons reach in court wizard.

You read the book... :facepalm:

You will run into several of these quests, equally baffling by the randomness.

The book just compelled you to WANT to find some rusty sword. Creepy.

Did you even read his post? He said the book wasn't there, hence the question.

Maybe you accidentaly picked it up and it's in your inventory now? Or it fell on the floor and you kicked it into some dark corner. Or maybe it's just a weird bug.

I got this quest twice. :sadvaultboy:

Probally read the book before but only several gaming hours later it decided to appear on the screen. Probally some kind of lag :facepalm:

I got that quest when I killed the dude carrying the sword

You can also gain quests by overhearing NPC conversations.

Thanks guys, going to gear up now for the 7000 steps told some dude id carry some crap for him upstairs. I expect that the following hours will be nothing short of EPIC. Take care my brothers!

Ya those 900 something stairs sure are impressive...

I read the part about the books.

Only 900? Really? Then why aren't they called the 900 or something steps?

Every time you read the book this quest seems to reappear.
