The Elder Scrolls IV: Knights of the Nine is an official plug-in for the game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The Windows version is available as a download and as part of the Oblivion Downloadable Content Collection CD (which includes all the downloadable content available for Oblivion — not only Knights of the Nine but also Wizard's Tower, Orrery, Mehrunes' Razor, Thieves Den, Vile Lair, Horse Armor Pack and Spell Tomes). The Xbox version is available via Xbox Live.
Knights of the Nine is centered around a faction of the same name whose primary goal is to search and locate "Crusaders' Relics" which can be worn by the player, and according to Jeff Gardiner are "some of the best gear in the game." Membership in this faction is not automatic; first one must go on a pilgrimage across Cyrodiil to visit the shrines dedicated to the Nine Divines. Also when someone is a member of this faction, they must stay on the path of good at all times. The player cannot commit any crimes or do anything inherently evil or they must re-do the entire pilgrimage (in other words, if your infamy is above 1, you have to repeat the pilgrimage).
This new faction also includes new characters, enemies and locations, one of these being the ancestral home of the Knights of the Nine which is in a state of decline. As the player completes quests for the Knights of the Nine, more people will hear of your heroic deeds, and will want to join you. These new recruits will then help you on your quests and eventually rebuild the Knights base.
[edit] Availability
Knights of the Nine was released on November 21, 2006, for download through the Xbox Live Marketplace for 800 Microsoft Points ($9.99), and for download for the PC on December 4, 2006 for $9.99.

The PlayStation 3 version of Oblivion, however, contains Knights of the Nine and the entire original game. Knights of the Nine is the only downloadable content thus far to be included with the PS3 version. Though new material may be releases at a later date.
