Summary
One of the first challenges thrown your way inOblivion’s main questline isthe Siege of Kvatch. You’re sent there to retrieveMartin Septim, but the town is already under attack, meaning you have to close an Oblivion Gate and mow down enemies that have taken over the settlement.
As you fight your way through Kvatch, three Imperial soldiers will run up to you and offer their aid. They’ll then follow you throughout the town, taking down Daedra and saving the townsfolk - even if it costs them their lives.
While this is just a small part of the quest - and none of these characters are named - fans have long commended these soldiers for their bravery and selflessness, and are doing so once more inOblivion Remastered. Their introductory line is often cited as proof of their undying dedication to duty: “We saw the smoke from the Gold Road while out on patrol. How can we help?”. No hesitation. Not even giving you the option to turn them away. Legends.
The Sacrifice Of Those Imperial Legion Soldiers In Kvatch Is Never Forgotten
While many forget their sacrifice, Reddit user Kjohnston9288 sure hasn’t. To commemorate them, they have built a memorial to the brave soldiers who gave their lives keeping Cyrodiil safe. Many in the replies love the effort that’s gone into this, commending the fallen for being the unsung heroes of Oblivion.
