The Thieves Guild in Oblivion is located in the Waterfront District of the Imperial City, specifically at the Garden of Dareloth, which is a walled-off garden behind the Abandoned Shack near the pirate ship
. To join the guild, you need to attend a meeting there at midnight, where you will meet Armand Christophe, a representative who will give you a task to prove yourself
. You can find out about the guild by reading wanted posters around the Imperial City, talking to beggars in the Waterfront District who know about the Gray Fox (the guild's mysterious leader), or by getting caught committing a crime and going to jail, after which a guild member will approach you
. Once at the Garden of Dareloth at midnight, you talk to Armand Christophe and start the initiation quest "May the Best Thief Win," which involves stealing a journal from a target in the Temple District without killing anyone
