The Thieves Guild in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is located in the Imperial City, specifically in the Waterfront District. To find and join the guild, you need to attend a meeting at the Garden of Dareloth, which is a walled garden area behind an abandoned shack in the Waterfront District. The meeting happens at midnight, where you will meet Armand Christophe, a representative of the Thieves Guild who initiates your entry quest
. There are several ways to discover the guild's location:
- Commit a crime and get caught, then serve jail time. After release, a guild member will approach you with an invitation to the meeting
- Investigate by talking to beggars in the Waterfront District who can reveal information about the guild and its meeting place
- Simply go to the Garden of Dareloth in the Waterfront District at midnight and wait for the meeting to start, where you can introduce yourself to Armand Christophe and begin the initiation quest
Once you attend the meeting and talk to Armand, you will start the quest "May the Best Thief Win," which involves proving your skills to officially join the Thieves Guild
. In summary, the Thieves Guild is found in the Imperial City Waterfront District at the Garden of Dareloth, accessible by attending a midnight meeting behind the abandoned shack
