How to Get the Honorblade of Chorrol in Oblivion Remastered

The Honorblade of Chorrol is one of the best weapons players will find in the early sections of Oblivion Remastered. Unfortunately, the quest in which this unique sword is acquired – "Sins of the Father" – forces you to hand it over at its conclusion. Unlike many powerful weapons in Oblivion Remastered, the Honorblade of Chorrol is not magic, meaning it does not require constant recharging with Soul Gems. On top of that, it is weightless, which is an extremely useful perk for the constantly over-encumbered adventurer. So it is understandable that many players will look for a way to keep this weapon. In this guide, we'll show you how to get the weapon, and show you how to keep the Honorblade of Chorrol in Oblivion Remastered.

How to Get the Honorblade of Chorrol in Oblivion Remastered

Jemane Family Questline:

While the process of getting the Honorblade of Chorrol in Oblivion Remastered is not exactly difficult, it is somewhat time-consuming. This is because, to get this weapon, you'll have to complete a three-part chain of quests that center around the Jemane family. The three quests are as follows:

"Separated at Birth"
"Lost Legacy"
"Sins of the Father"

Separated at Birth:

The questline begins with "Separated at Birth," which takes place in Chorrol and Cheydinhal. The first step you'll need to take is questioning the people of Chorrol. Walk around town and start asking everyone you can about Rumors. We got the information after questioning around five NPCs. Eventually, we got it from Nermus the Mooch.

He told us about Reynald Jemane, a resident of Chorrol who he claims to have seen in Cheydinhal. He claims that Reynald gave him the cold shoulder, walking right by him without any acknowledgment. Ask him for more information when prompted, which will unlock "Separated at Birth."

You'll now need to speak to Reynald Jemane. Use the quest marker to locate him within Chorrol. After speaking with him, you'll go to Cheydinhal to find the lookalike, who ends up being his long-lost brother, Guilbert. Speak to him, and the two brothers will reunite in Chorrol. It's not difficult, just a lot of back and forth.

Lost Legacy:

After the brothers Jemane have been reunited, they'll ask you to locate their family home, Weatherleah. They don't know where it's located, so you must ask around Chorrol. Eventually, you'll have to meet Sabine Laul at the Fighter's Guild in Chorrol.

Speaking to Sabine will lead you to Weatherleah, which sits south of Chorrol, almost perfectly between that city and Skingrad. Clear out the Ogres that are roaming around the grounds. Once they are taken care of, return to the Jemane brothers, and they'll accompany you back to the home, ending the quest.

Sins of the Father:

The third quest, "Sins of the Father," isn't quite as straightforward as the previous quests. First, as soon as you're done with "Lost Legacy," you'll have to wait two in-game days before the next major event occurs. You can either sleep to pass the time, or use the Wait mechanic. Once two days have gone by, walk around Chorrol until a dark elf named Fathis Ules approaches you.

He will offer you a special job, which boils down to stealing the Honorblade of Chorrol from the group of ogres that ransacked Weatherleah. Make sure to accept the job from him. He will send you to the Redguard Valley Cave, which sits directly to the east of Weatherleah.

The Honorblade of Chorrol is found on the dead body of the Redguard Valley Ogre Chieftan, who is found at the very end of the cave system.

Should You Return the Honorblade of Chorrol in Oblivion Remastered?

Yes, But Wait:

When you collect the Honorblade of Chorrol, you'll notice that "Sins of the Father" only gives you the following two options:

Sell the blade to Fathis Ules
Return the blade to Chorrol Castle

Seeing those two options, along with knowing how great the Honorblade of Chorrol is, many players will wonder: can I keep the Honorblade of Chorrol? The short answer is, yes, you can. We'll go over that further down. We'll go over that further down. First, we'll look at what happens if you decide to sell or return the Honorblade.

Selling the Honorblade of Chorrol:

The one option that makes absolutely no long-term sense is selling the Honorblade of Chorrol. If you follow the original offer, and bring the blade back to Fathis Ules, you will only get 1,500 Gold. This is a lot of gold early in the game, but there is no way it is worth giving up the sword for.

Do not sell the Honorblade of Chorrol back to Fathis Ules.

Returning the Honorblade of Chorrol:

The next option is to return the Honorblade of Chorrol to Chorrol Castle. To do this, enter the Great Hall and speak to d, the Countess' Herald. Returning the sword to him will earn you the Escutcheon of Chorrol, one of the best Shields in the game. This shield can reflect damage back on the attacker, and scales extremely well.

The best answer to whether or not you should return the Honorblade of Chorrol is simple: Yes, you should return it, but not right away. The sword is extremely powerful early in the game, but players generally agree that once you have unlocked the Umbra sword, you should return the Honorblade and collect the Escutcheon of Chorrol.

If you want both items, it is possible to steal the Honoblade of Chorrol after it's been returned. We found the best option is pickpocketing after using a Paralyze spell or Chameleon. Other options are too easy to mess up.
