Encountering the Thieves Guild in Oblivion Remastered

There are two major ways in which you can encounter and join the Thieves Guild in Oblivion Remastered. While one of them is quite safe and forgiving, the other can be a risky method for Stealth Arts characters to join this guild. Here are the two ways explained in detail:

• Being imprisoned for a nonviolent offense (pickpocketing, stealing, etc.) is the riskier way to encounter and join the Thieves Guild in Oblivion Remastered. Violent crimes, although not recommended, could be effective as well. After your character rests, an NPC named Myvryna Arano will come up to them bearing a message from the guild's grandmaster, Gray Fox. You will receive the "Finding the Thieves Guild" quest after reading this message.
• Another way to join the Thieves Guild in Oblivion Remastered is by locating a "Wanted" poster of the Gray Fox in the Imperial City. One poster can be found in the Waterfront District, directly behind the fast travel point, on the right side of an arch. Close to this area is a begger called Puny Ancus, who will first deny the existence of Gray Fox. However, after taking a couple of bribes and having a high enough disposition, he will instruct you to visit the Garden of Dareloth at midnight. This will also award you with the "Finding the Thieves Guild" quest.

Regardless of how you learn about the meeting in Dareloth, you must proceed with the "May the Best Thief Win" quest at midnight in the Imperial City's Waterfront District in order to eventually be admitted into the Thieves Guild. However, one thing to note is that in order to begin the quest, Armand, Amusei, and Methredhel must all be present at the mentioned meeting place in Dareloth.

Due to the pressure from the Imperial Watch, the Thieves Guild operates more covertly in Cyrodiil than in other parts of Tamriel. This is mainly because the assassination of Emperor Uriel Septim VII heightened the scrutiny of the Imperial Watch on secret organisations.

Although Hieronymus Lex set out to eliminate the Thieves Guild in the Imperial City by capturing its leader, Gray Fox, who has allegedly existed for more than 300 years, Imperial officials formally deny its existence.
