The phrase "Green Emperor Way Where Tower Touches Midday Sun" is a riddle from the main quest "The Path of Dawn" in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. It serves as a clue to the location and timing for activating an important quest event. Here is the explanation and solution:
- The phrase is a secret message found by reading the first letters of each paragraph in the Mythic Dawn Commentaries books you collect during the quest
- "Green Emperor Way" refers to a central district in the Imperial City, near the Imperial Palace and the White Gold Tower
- The clue instructs you to go to the Tomb of Prince Camarril, which is located among the graves southwest of the White Gold Tower in the Imperial City Palace area
- You must be there at midday (around 12:00 PM game time), when the tip of the White Gold Tower appears to "touch" the sun
- At this time, the runes on the tomb will glow, and a glowing map of Cyrodiil will appear on the tomb
- Activating the tomb at this moment advances the quest and reveals the location of the next objective, the Dagon Shrine
- The glowing runes and activation window typically occur daily between approximately 11:48 AM and 12:30 PM, and you must be positioned correctly facing the tomb with the palace behind you
- You need to have read all four volumes of the Mythic Dawn Commentaries for the activation to work
In summary, the phrase directs you to go to the Tomb of Prince Camarril in Green Emperor Way, wait until midday when the White Gold Tower aligns with the sun, and activate the tomb to progress the quest in Oblivion
