Detailed Walkthrough

The Chapel of Stendarr

At the Priory of the Nine, Sir Casimir told you that to retrieve the Gauntlets of the Crusader you should speak to the priests in Chorrol's Chapel of Stendarr.

In Chorrol's chapel, you will find the gauntlets on the floor surrounded by candles, too heavy to lift. Speak to Areldur, who should be standing nearby, and tell him you'd like to know the story of the gauntlets. He tells you that the curse that makes the gauntlets too heavy to lift is also killing Kellen, a descendent of the Knight who was cursed here (Sir Casimir).

Kellen's Curse

Kellen is staying at the chapel, and can be found in a bedroom in the Chapel Hall. If you talk to Kellen about the curse, he claims that Areldur acts like he's holding back information. Return to Areldur, who will now admit that he knows that the only way for him to free Kellen of the curse would be to take it on himself, and he is too cowardly to do so. He asks if you know of someone who would pray to Stendarr and take on Kellen's curse.

Activate the Altar of the Nine in the Chapel, and you will be asked whether you wish to take the curse. Accept and you will receive a quest update telling you that you can now Lay Hands on Kellen to free him of the curse, and you will have gained the corresponding "Lay Hands" Lesser Power (still located in your spell section but at the top under 'Lesser Power' as opposed to 'Spells'). Go to Kellen and use "Lay Hands" on him, which will free him and the gauntlets of the curse. Kellen is ecstatic at feeling so healthy, and runs around the room a few times. In exchange, you are afflicted with the Curse of the Consumed, which constantly damages your fatigue by 5 points (although a bug may prevent the Curse from actually damaging your fatigue). The only way to rid yourself of the curse is to continue with the quest line: upon receiving the The Blessing of Talos, the curse will be removed.

Return to the chapel, and you can now pick up the Gauntlets of the Crusader. This quest is complete and the Priory of the Nine quest is updated with the information that you have found another artifact.

Notes

In the chest next to Kellen's bed you will find Notes on Racial Phylogeny, a Restoration Skill book.
