Boethiah, also known as the Prince of Plots, is the Daedric Prince of numerous unlawful aspects including deceit, conspiracy, treason, assassination and secret plots of murder. He is typically depicted as male, but is sometimes referred to as female. His Daedric artifact in Skyrim is the Ebony Mail, which muffles your movement and shrouds you in a cloud of poison that damages nearby enemies.
This quest starts after being attacked by a cultist of Boethiah soon after turning level thirty. Read the book on his corpse entitled Boethiah's Proving. Then travel to the Sacellum of Boethiah, located in the mountains east-southeast of Windhelm. On the path upwards to the main Sacellum, there will be two cultists fighting inside a pit encircled with wooden posts sharpened at one end. Talk to the priestess watching them, who will need proof of your combat abilities. Join the fight between the two cultists already battling and the many more that were previously watching. Kill them all and report back to the priestess. She will hand you a small dagger and instruct you to lure an unwitting person to the sacrificial post before Boethiah's statue and kill them with the dagger. After making the sacrifice, she will take on the form of the sacrificial subject. She reveals that she is in dire need of a new champion and would like to appoint you as being worthy of such a title. Go to Knifepoint Ridge and dispose of her soon to be former champion and his cohorts. While it is not a requirement, she also asks you to kill them stealthily, preferably without being detected. Kill the opposition, take up the Ebony Mail and bask in the Prince's glory as she grants you the privilege of being her champion.
(Notes: The quest will sometimes require you to dispose of the cultists after the sacrifice in the fight to the death rather than before. Regardless of this, you are still required to do both before being tasked with Knifepoint Ridge)
