He'll be unimpressed with the letter and at some point will ask you if you believe in the Seven Gods, you'll have to make a decision: Near the Archmaester there will be a chest with skillbooks in it, you can take them with no consequences.Īfter you're done exploring go into the Seneschal's Court and talk to Archmaester Harodon and give him Garibalds Letter.
Also inside the Archives you'll find Archmaester Castos who'll give you the quest Lost Knowledge. I recommend exploring the Archives first, as there you can talk to a maester and acquire the Book of Patrons as well as talk to an acolyte and learn that Maester Yandel in the tavern might have work for you. Once in Oldtown you can visit the Citadel, there are two places to go, the Seneschal's Court and the Archives.
Make your way there, the easiest and most obvious path is through the reach, take care with the bandit groups as they can be really hard to beat early in the game. The Citadel is located at the city of Oldtown, which is at the southwest corner of Westeros, west of the Dornish mountains. The location of Oldtown as seen in the world map. Talk to Septon Garibald and he will give you the quest item Garibalds Letter, which he asks you to deliver to the archmaester Harodon in the Citadel. Attention: In order to start this quest you must have A New Beginning active or completed, as this is the only way to talk to Septon Garibald without him saying he's busy.
